Uncanny choice of word considering the botched shooting. Old English wyrd ‘destiny’, of Germanic origin. The adjective (late Middle English) originally meant ‘having the power to control destiny’, and was used especially in the Weird Sisters, originally referring to the Fates, later the witches...

Manchester concert bombing happened years ago; and it's the same pattern - a "refugee" who came on a boat and was let in by British goverment decided to kill a bunch of kids. The same has been happening in France and Germany, bombings, shootings, stabbings, lorries running over Christmas markets...

He did and he's a rich man now.

We are deep into Philip K. Dick's territory here. Like listen to this prediction made three months ago. Wild!

Book of John vibes

Yeah, that would have been great if the presidential candidate who is somewhat fanatically supported by half of the country was shot in the head on live TV by some ugly-ass leftist genetic mutant. That would truly help the cause (whatever it even is these days).

Yeah, but your are not getting eastern euros anymore, you mostly getting these guys as the graphs shows:

So you have a drop after 2016 when the Brexit happened and all the eastern euros stopped coming and then - after Covid - a massive, unprecedented spike with new non-EU arrivals. It also probably includes SOME Ukrainians, but I don't think too many.

I just want to point out a little detail: your list ends in 2020, but that's exactly the point when the real spike happened. So it's precisley the last couple of years when all the historic immigration records were broken with roughly one million newcomers arriving each year:

Well yeah, because they used to be much more dependent on unions for their support and unions never been too keen on mass immigration since it drives down wages by creating huge labour reserve army. So they were forced to scale it down. But that's not true anymore, because unions were a real...

And let's be honest, twenty years ago immigration wasn't the same as it is today.

True, but it's palpably intensifying; especially with young voters, AfD, for example, got most of their votes from zoomers and millenials as far as I understand.

You could easily say that this was a single-issue election where only topic that really mattered was mass scale immigration - that's why all the right wing gains obviously. In countries where it isn't such a hot topic, like, for example, Denmark which still tightly controls and limits its...

THE 80S NEVER ENDEND!

"...the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.”

It's like that punishment machine in Penal Colony.

No and no.

Another aspect of this, of course, is that English don't really ever say those sorts of things IRL. I have plenty of friends in London and I've been there couple of times and showing any kind of even mildly racist attitude towards anyone is totally verboten there - it's like an unwritten rule...

True, like paki-bash used to be a thing, but now one of those small stature fakirs is a mayor of the biggest city.
