The lady who rang LBC was an American of Indian descent. She said that she'd seen the way America was going and decided to migrate to the UK with her two young daughters (I didn't hear what year this was) because she was concerned for their welfare when they'd be older if they were brought up in America.
She talked about a visit to America and was driving around with the person she was visiting. She said the streets were deserted and asked her friend why. The friend said that ICE were in town and everyone was staying indoors
The friend talked about going on one of those 'NO KINGS' protests. A person that wanted to attend who was a government employee was advised not to go on the march because the government had 'spotters' out, the implication being that if he/she was seen to be on the march they'd be in trouble.
The friend also said that because the American birth rate had fallen there was a push to persuade people to have more children. But just for white Americans to have more children.
Bearing in mind that Nigel Farage has so much admiration for Donald Trump it would not be too much of a stretch of the imagination that if NF were to be elected to PM that he may well follow similar policies to DT.
And with that thought in mind I hope that anyone considering voting Reform, whether in the Senedd election or in the next GE, should take all that on board and ask themselves if that is the kind of country they would wish to live in.

The last paragraph is rather desperate, a vote for Plaid is a vote for the continuation of what we have put up with for the last 26 years under Labour who Plaid have colluded with to get bills through. |  |

At the risk of repeating myself, a vote for Plaid not just brings that but a further very dangerous element which is nowhere near in the interest of this country. |  |

Majority in wales face a big issue
The Labour Party they were brought up to vote for is gone and for many non Welsh speakers Plaid doesn’t fit right as Plsid has its core in rural Welsh speaking Wales
Industrial south Wales and N/E Wales eschewed Plaid
With reform seen as English posh boys , they feel disenfranchised , I believe
It’s a right feckn mess | |

I think you'll find the majority of the country would support a team like Ice on the streets of Britain rounding up illegal immigrants and deporting them.
Not a tough choice really (unless you're a far left numpty)
A team like ice cleaning up the streets or
100's of illegal immigrants murdering, raping and stealing their way through the country.
There would only ever be one choice for those who want a free and safe country for women and children to go about their daily lives. [Post edited 2 Feb 23:08]

Indeed.
All those who shouldn't be here hiding in the houses we are paying for.
Personally Id rather something tougher than ICE. |  | | |

A couple of things.
AnotherJohn said that 'John seems to have been trying to breath life into the Labour corpse in a couple of his recent threads, and I guess we can understand his anxiety about what may happen in May.' I don't know if there are any other Johns in this thread so I imagine you mean me John 
Yes I have written a few positive posts about Labour in recent times. I can't remember all that I said but I do remember that in one I said there's no point in everyone complaining about the things they get wrong if no one mentions the things they get right.
I don't have any anxiety about what may happen to Labour in May because it seems pretty certain that they will be demolished, hopefully by Plaid which is the way I vote. I haven't voted Labour for a long time.
Yes I wouldn't mind ICE type teams on the street doing what they should be doing. What I wouldn't want is a bunch of gun toting thugs on the street. I believe the majority would agree with my thoughts rather than mango's. | | | |

I think you are wrong. Illegal immigration to Wales is quite small if the official figures are anywhere near correct.
40,000 illegal boat people 5% of that is 2000 to Wales. There is not need for ICE or that sort of thing. The get more than that watching the Ospreys.
We are a Welfare state and Digital iD is part of the answer. It of course has to be rigorously enforced. No Digital id no services of the state.
No NHS, Prescriptions, schooling, transport insurance passport national insurance number. At present we have Digital iD with out consent with phone records, number plate recognition and Facial recognition technology. All checks "done on the sly".
Get it in the open with mandatory iD checks (by consent perhaps after a referendum). My iD was checked about 10 times in Turkiye and had to out with my passport.
Your post is right from the far right of British politics and not representative. The far right are not bright and afraid of digital iD which is good for taxpayers and bad for illegality of all sorts.
All adult Turks are obliged to carry National id card at all times for inspection.. This is a country that has had migration for centuries as a bridge between Europe and Asia. They took in 4 million Syrians refugees with no offer of permanent settlement.
They do not need ICE. They have asked them to return and have withdrawn their right for health service in Turkiye. They will turn the screws gradually withdraw the right to drive and rent property don the line I expect. These were genuine refugees given temporary refuge but now the Turkish nation has told them time to go home.
UK could do this with changes in the law. When you have robust returning laws peole are more relaxed about taking refugees. |  |

I think you need to spend time in the larger towns and cities in Wales to get a true perspective on the issues and problems we have here. The dark economy is rampant, we have a large sub culture in Swansea with illegals, to deny this just shows a lack of knowledge. You can only provide statistics on something you can measure, if there is no record of something existing you can not quantify the results. |  | | |

Just remember this is more than likely going to be the most important vote you've ever submitted. Get this one wrong and the whole country will be gone forever.
No coming back |
My vote will make little difference to the outcome, so I won't lose any sleep over any decision I make. | |

Indeed, I meant you John L. Everybody is entitled to their view, but it is a difficult week to make the case for the competence of our present Labour government. I will refrain from comment on Plaid. | | | |

You are of course correct. But sometimes you feel the need to help the intellectually challenged, but then you realise it might not be the case just as you say attention seeking. But possibly it is both. | | | |

In six days in the US I only engaged in political discussion with one person. A Latino barman at an Irish Pub (America truly is a melting pot). He was strongly Pro-Trump because, and I quote directly here "he's dealing with all the illegal immigrants. The criminals. Crime is going down".
True or not I have no idea, but it does call into question the idea that Trump supporters are largely white racists. Legal migrants are probably just as pissed off at the illegal ones as the rest of the population.
Incidentally he also recommended going on a pub crawl in Queens because it's cheaper and easy on the Subway. Avoid the Bronx. |  |

Last Saturday was the coldest I've been in my entire life. I went to Canada in January 1995 when it was showing as minus 27 degrees C outside the hotel one evening and it didn't come close to this. I couldn't use my camera because my hands were so cold even though I had two pairs of gloves on.
Warmed up quite a lot from Sunday onwards so we covered most of what we meant to. I really enjoyed it to be honest. Quite pricey for the most part but we did spend a fair bit of time in and around Times Square/Midtown Manhattan which is tourist central so you'd expect a bit of gouging.
Mrs Winston and her daughter went to see Hamilton on Broadway and had a blast. I got to see the Ghostbusters Firehouse so I was happy. Can thoroughly recommend the Staten Island Ferry for the views, although it is a bit desolate on the SI side.
I want to go again when it's a bit warmer, so that's a recommendation. [Post edited 12 Feb 23:28]

Went to Levy in Lapland Finland, must be close to 17/18 yrs ago now, gang of us went there to Ski and up on top of the mountain just above the World Cup ski run and it was hitting -28/30 only just about warmed up when we were actually skiing, went the following 2 yrs and we skied with virtually without coats incredible difference for the same times of the year we went first time.
On a side note the skiing there is excellent. | |

By yesterday morning I was walking around Central Park in a T-Shirt, even with snow on the ground. The difference in just a couple of days was remarkable.
The mad thing is that New York is further south than the UK so should technically be warmer. Western Europe has a lot to thank the Gulf Stream for. | |

Never been Mrs and I have thought about it a few times, but its to far for us, if the youngest gets unwell in respite its a long tense journey home, we've reasonably lucky up to now when we've gone to Spain/Majorca etc, but we have had to come back early from the odd weekend away and he's ended up in hospital which is a nightmare especially for Mrs cause of his needs the Mrs stays with him, 24/7 same at home of course but its easier at home. | |

I'm not assuming WR that Farage would follow Trump's policies but as he's such a fan of his way of governing it's reasonable to suggest to people that he may well do that. And that people should bear that in mind before deciding to vote for him.
And I don't believe that giving people information to help them make up their mind on who they should vote for is scaremongering. To me it's a sensible thing to do. |
So who do you suggest they vote for ? Starmer?
There is absolutely nothing at all sensible about your scaremongering, it's all in vain anyway as Rupert Lowe will be the next PM | | | |

Providing information from an American lady who's been on the American streets very recently. So not my opinion, her facts.
No evidence ? Read her facts.
It's the internet ? Did you not read the post Jack ? It wasn't some nameless keyboard warrior spreading fiction, which appears to be what you're suggesting. An actual real person speaking on the radio giving her evidence as to what is going on in Trump's America.
And what she said about ICE reinforces the reality of the dreadful scenes we've all seen recently showing how they operate. |
Wow you are so easily duped! Unless you know her personally there is no way in this world you can claim them as facts without factual evidence | | | |

Home now, but it's something I wouldn't mind seeing if I go again.
We had her kids with us so a lot of things that we might've done ourselves we left off the list as it would have meant nothing to them.
The 9/11 Memorial didn't have the same impact for example as neither of them had been born when it happened. | |

You say I can't claim them as facts without factual evidence. I don't have any factual evidence as to the accuracy of what she says. How could I without having been in the car witnessing the same thing.
But we've seen what's happening on the streets and heard people say many times they are afraid to go out at times when ICE are around. So when a person quotes her actual experience what she says are the facts as she saw them. The rest of us have to balance what she says along with the evidence of other reports and our own eyes. We've seen video footage of the two murders on the streets in the US. No wonder many people are afraid to go out. So that would support her evidence.
You quoted in another post 'You do realise that federal agents have uncovered at least 3354 unaccompanied missing children in Minnesota'. That appears to be a direct quote from Tom Homan, Trump's Border Czar. You quote that seemingly as fact. You make no allowance for the fact that so many have queried the claim. One example is the claim that they are not unaccompanied but unaccounted for due to the immigration authorities not properly following up their situation.
So it's not fact. | | | |

How was the wait at Customs? Hope it was better than my last experience there.
I should have given you a couple of places to eat before you went. Too late now but John’s Pizza is not to be missed!!
Glad you had a good time. | |
