“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
― H.L. Mencken, 1920

That's great that you lived on a street with lots of Chinese, Poles and Indians. Did you ever have a discussion with them about immigration, racism, etc.? Because if you did you'd find that they're mostly very patriotic and in some cases, quite racist folk themselves.
Ah, I didn’t realise you knew all my neighbours and all of their countrymen and countrywomen.
Do I need to hang a St George flag to keep their hands off my daughters?
And you’re right about the famously woke bubble of South Wales.
That must be why I don’t support people being sent home to be raped and tortured.
I thought it was because I was a decent, kind person, but turns out I’ve just been brainwashed into it.
Could you ask your mates Nigel and Tommy to organise an intervention?
Kind and decent? On this forum, you sometimes come across as an obnoxious, sarcastic know-it-all, I have to say.
As for people being sent home to be raped and tortured, I don't remember ever saying I supported such a thing. In any case, the majority of people emigrate for economic reasons, not because they are going to be raped and tortured in their home countries. Sounds like you've listened to a lot of asylum industry propaganda.

Wouldn't he have written an epic 'This Just In' post about this twat?

Correct, and you're one of them. You are an economic migrant Barry, just like the boat people.
Btw you seem to know a lot about 'asylum industry', were you employed in it before 'translation industry'?

Being kind on a forum is preferable, but hardly matters in the greater perspective.
I'll prefer an obnoxious, sarcastic know-it-all that ultimately is kind and tolerant towards people with less fortune, over a kind, polite, but selfish and heartless dou****ag that ultimately facilitates the uprise of fascist regimes any given day.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

When Trump was running for candidacy for the second time, he was shot by a shooter which barely grazed part of his right ear if I'm not mistaken. I may be a conspiracy theorist, but when I first heard this news, my first reaction to this incident was a self-made plot to buy votes out of sympathy to win the election. I never told anyone about what I felt, but a few months later, I read an article in my local newspaper that there are many other people who believe that this was a stunt he played on...

What makes you think that Chris is kinder and more tolerant towards "people with less fortune" than I am? Do you know him and me personally? Are you really so naive and gullible that you think being PC and "woke" automatically means someone is a good person in their everyday life? How dumb is that?!

Yes, why would that be? It's a mystery. I guess we'll never now.
Now, if you'll excuse me. I have to try and find the biggest facepalm of the world. Good night!

Of course because a person's political views are what define their character, right? And people with (fake) left-wing opinions are always better people than conservatives. Irony off.

I just want to express that it's truly amazing how this topic (un)developed because of a troll, and I can't help but think if all this could end up feeding a LLM.
Then, there's no surprise the emergence of hallucinations in LLMs that collect any BS that is typed on the internet. And also, that's why AI is the ultimate tool for hoaxes, scams, and misinformation.

I'm a troll just because I don't share the same infantile, simplistic views you people have? If that's the case, half the world consists of trolls!

It all started with the mention of Trump. Imagine being butthurt over people criticizing the worst American president in history, a women-hating narcistic convicted felon and probably a paedophile too.

I think I know who the troll is. I try to annoy him (why is it always a man?) by overstepping his posts and responding to the one he was replying to. I expect he will reply to this post. Keep your eyes peeled!

Yes, that is a “dumb” question. Believing in inclusion and community is obviously kinder than believing in division and self-interest.
I choose to be a wanker sometimes on this forum but generally only when people deserve it. I could just ignore you as I ignore your humourless countryman, but some things you just have to push back against.
The trouble is, I’m also genuinely curious about how someone with your background (indeed anyone) falls for all the right-wing “do your own research” propaganda.
