I Want My Country Back ~ Lee Anderson MP

I want my country back.Just sat on the train scribbling a few notes.Tell me what you think
'What exactly do you mean when you say you want your country back?' 
This is the question every wet, woke and weak left leaning liberal individual asks me. The response they want is based on the colour of a person's skin, their ethnicity, or their religion. These people are the race baiters who love nothing more than to describe anyone who does not agree with them as a 'racist.
So here are a few examples of what I mean.I remember a time when children went to school and were not told that they could be a different gender, or they may have to use a different toilet and they did not have to sit down and watch a drag queen reading them stories. If people had been told this would happen 30 years ago then they would have been told you that you were insane. Yet it has been happening under our watch.I want this nonsense to stop, let kids be kids and let them grow and develop as they have always done. Just because a little boy picks a doll up it doesn't mean he wants to be a girl and every girl that kicks a football does not want to be a boy.
I want my country back and the country I am talking about would not tolerate this stupidity.
Imagine telling people just 20 years ago that over 130,000 illegal migrants would cross the English Channel in three years and would be picked up by British boats then placed in 4-star hotels, given free legal advice, and then allowed to settle in our country. Then tell the same people from 20 years ago that over 90% of these arrivals would be voung men destined for a life of crime and and some would go on and murder and rape British citizens.Imagine telling them that the government of the day would pass three Acts of Parliament to try and stop these crossings, but the young men kept coming and coming.
I want my country back and the country I am talking about would not tolerate this stupidity.
Many people remember the 1970s when East German female shot-putters had to undergo a sex test to see if they were really females. Have no fear as sex tests are not needed these days. A six-foot 6 hairy arsed bloke can put on an ill-fitting wig, a charity shop dress, and a bit of lippy and enter sporting competitions alongside women. To make matters worse on his way home he can then nip into a lady's boutique and try on a pair of size 16 stilettos whilst sat in a lady's changing room.

Back in the 80s and 90s if you applied for a council house you would get the choice of three houses but nowadays you have literally no chance of even being considered for one, yet we are letting over 1 million people a year into this country. That's hundreds of thousands of people putting extra pressure on our public services and whilst decent hard-working Brits struggle to get a GP appointment, a dental appointment, a school place for their kids the politicians tell them that immigration makes us all better off.
I want my country back and the country I am talking about would not tolerate this stupidity.
Back in the day if we had civil unrest on our streets, you could be rest assured that our boys in blue would be quickly on the scene to get stuck in so as decent folk could go about their daily business. Imagine telling folk on the picket lines of the 80s that in the future that a load of under nourished grey-haired vegans in their 60s could turn up in their Jesus sandals and bring London to a standstill whilst the Met police stood by and did nothing?
I want my country back and the country I am talking about would not tolerate this stupidity.Don't even start me on the pro-Palestinian marches.I want my country back.

Ms Hammond'I am astounded by how many posters on here are closing their eyes to the many problems in our country that are being caused by mass immigration'. That's because they do not arise in West Putney.

John Hawkes ● 29d

Read Reform's contract if you want answers.  I am astounded by how many posters on here are closing their eyes to the many problems in our country that are being caused by mass immigration.

I am reminded of the Private Eye cover with a picture of Farage hailing a cab. “Where to guv?”  “1955 and make it quick!”  It’s well worn moan by 50p Lee but I don’t see the solutions he’s offering. I think the country has bigger problems than culture war “wokery”.

Jonathan Callaway ● 30d

It's just that you specifically said "white"?

Michael Brigo ● 30d

Well, believe what you want, Sue, but i wouldn't trust Farage et al with the NHS, or anything else https://bylinetimes.com/2025/01/27/nigel-farages-latest-nhs-comments-spark-fresh-scrutiny-of-reform-uks-health-policy/Anyone that close to Trump and Musk makes me suspicious.

@MI"My post is entirely relevant,  you're just having a mutual moan with you friend Lee: what's you viable solution? You think you life will be better if Reform get in power and start dismantling the NHS, benefits, pensions, consumer protections, etc in the same way their friends in the US are currently doing?"Now you really are spouting rubbish.  Please point out which of Reform's policies state all the things that you say are going to be dismantled?  Try reading their Contract before making such ridiculous statements.

Sue Hammond ● 30d

100% correct Mr Ixer.

Lucille Grant ● 30d

Ha, ha. I didn't say where they'd migrate to, Mr Hawkes. 

Michael Ixer ● 30d

Mr Ixer'The relevance of climate change is obvious: it's the next driver for change - when sea levels start rising and together with increased temperatures make areas of the world uninhabitable just imagine the mass migration that will generate'.If I noticed sea levels rising I think the last place I would want to try to migrate to is the ISLAND that is the United Kingdom !

John Hawkes ● 30d

Mr Brigo'what about black britons? any reason we are excluded from the above statement?'No.The issue is really about the effects on housing and other social services of recent high levels of immigration from countries that have no particular association with the UK.

John Hawkes ● 30d

Oh god Pollyanna is off on one again!  The thread is not about wanting to turn the clock back🙄it is only of comparison.  You reminiscing about your childhood and the way things were then has nothing to do with what Anderson is saying!  I don't think you're too thick to get it, so your disingenuous/patronising post must be a deliberate attempt to make it all about you.  I have noticed this before and it's very tedious; you may think it's riveting reading but I can tell you that it is not.

Sue Hammond ● 30d

Sue. Mr Anderson has just had a big whinge about things that have passed him by while he's an MP with more influence than any of us to change things. I see nothing he's said that promises a way to make things better. The world has been changing for various reasons including those i mentioned, we just have to learn how to adjust and influence the future direction.  As Mr Hawkes said, the world Anderson dreams about is lost - some things are better, others less desirable.The relevance of climate change is obvious: it's the next driver for change - when sea levels start rising and together with increased temperatures make areas of the world uninhabitable just imagine the mass migration that will generate. Sadly, you're probably correct; we've missed the target for net zero - you and I probably won't suffer the main consequences of that but future generations will. Sadly, it will be the poor who suffer most.My post is entirely relevant,  you're just having a mutual moan with you friend Lee: what's you viable solution? You think you life will be better if Reform get in power and start dismantling the NHS, benefits, pensions, consumer protections, etc in the same way their friends in the US are currently doing?

Michael Ixer ● 30d

That's good coming from you Philippa, while you still live in the past.

Barbara Stevens ● 30d

Sue, me too.

Barbara Stevens ● 30d

A great idea to want to turn the clock back to all the things we reminisce about enthusiastically but you can't - life has moved on - so it's a load of cr@p.As I listed somewhere else when I was a baby I travelled with my mother on a BOAT across the world - and not for fun and leisure - but that was how people travelled across the world for work.  At one time I understand there was a lot of travelling on those on the port side on the way out and starboard side on the way home in order to keep cool. Then came planes with propellers and many refuelling stops en route and then jets with fewer stops and now there are many non-stop flights.  We didn't have air conditioning.  We had generators the size of a patio and as loud as a train.  We learnt to empty our shoes before we put our feet in in case of snakes or scorpions and at boarding school back here we learnt to empty our wellies in case of scrapings from the last meal.  There weren't telephones in peoples' houses abroad only at the offices and this continued for the next 40 years.  When there was a phone you had to book trunk calls and send telegrams.  Sometimes once there were planes they were only every few weeks and no connecting flights and sometimes just boats.flights and if you missed it you'd have a long wait.  Communications have changed tremendously!  Just look at those discussed with typewriters and computers on that thread.  Can you imagine life without these things?We didn't have supermarkets and we had to queue and wait for the bacon to be sliced and everything to be weighed out at the shops.  We didn't have all the exotic all year round imported foods we have now because most fresh stuff would not survive a long boat trip and all the distribution handling without being refrigerated for the long journey.  Bananas of course ripen en route.  People sometimes travelled on those boats.  We had no central heating and had chilblains every winter.  The Right to Buy was an attempt to turn everyone into home owners with the idea that they would then vote Tory.  What happened was that the money went to the Treasury and could not be used to build more homes - which is where it is still needed.  Many of those Council homes sold were then rented out to the private sector and not maintained by the landlord and neither were they replaced by either Govt or Councils so we still have a huge shortage of housing which has created a lot of stress, homelessness and high rents.Due to less mechanisation and computerisation of jobs there were more  of them to choose from and less unemployment.Still want to go backwsrds?

Philippa Bond ● 30d

@MIMore irrelevant cr@p that has little credibility to address the issues that Anderson is talking about.  And what the heck has climate change got to do with how our society has seriously degenerated?  I realise that you and the other zealots on here worship at the altar of net zero but a) it's impossible to achieve and b) it will not improve the chances of *ordinary people getting somewhere decent to live, get their children school places etc etc *not rich

"Who knows if this has any impact on indigenous white Britons seeking social housing."what about black britons? any reason we are excluded from the above statement?

Michael Brigo ● 30d

It got lost in the past. Manage and embrace the change, there's no going back because of the drivers and influences that changed it: we can't un-invade Iraq, Afghanistan, etc; de-develop social media; lose the medical knowledge that enables surgery and drugs to modify gender; bottle up attitudes from modern entertainment and artistes that are more inclusive and diversive - or deny the science and fact of climate change.

Michael Ixer ● 30d

@DAIrrelevant obfuscation.

Sue Hammond ● 30d

Mr AinsworthWe all know how you see nothing wrong with how this country has changed.Probably doesn't affect rich Putneyites.But regarding Anderson's changes of political allegiances I would remind you what the great economist John Maynard Keynes said.“When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?”As regard occupancy of social housing, apparently of Somalis in the UK, 72.0% lived in social rented housing - 58.8% were living in overcrowded accommodation.Further about 34 per cent of British Bangladeshi people lived in social housing, which is seven times higher than the number of British Indians, who had the lowest number of people in social housing of any group, with five per cent. An estimated 16 per cent of British Pakistanis live in social housing.Who knows if this has any impact on indigenous white Britons seeking social housing.

John Hawkes ● 30d

Ms Hammond'I want my country back'.I am afraid it has gone forever.My only consolation is that my grandchildren, having grown up in the 'New Britain' and knowing no better will at least see through the falsity of the more extreme examples of the social crap you describe.I hope they will cope without their common sense being too warped.

John Hawkes ● 30d

This is the Lee Anderson who:-Supported Labour (1983–2018) thenSupported Conservative (2018–2024)The 2 parties of government in this period.But he is not responsible for anything?--------------------"Back in the 80s and 90s if you applied for a council house you would get the choice of three houses but nowadays you have literally no chance of even being considered for one,"Oooh, where did they all go? Remind me who brought in the Right to Buy.
