The insufferably sanctimonious virtue signalling by the twat Lineker and Brand reaches new heights.
Fried fish was originally introduced to Britain by Jewish refugees fleeing persecution in Spain and Portugal in the 16th century. Chips were likely brought over by French protestants in the 1600s.
Fish and chips – that perfect marriage of beige and batter – were first put together by another Jewish immigrant, Joseph Malin, who opened the nation’s first known fish and chip shop in London’s east end in the 1860s.
If you want to watch the video it’s available online, but I warn you it is vomit inducing.
Certainly the Huguenots were refugees. Following the repeal of the Edict of Nantes, they were subject to persecution and fled France. These people were mostly the tradesmen and artisans and they took their skills with them to their adopted countries – here and the Netherlands.
I have absolutely no problem with this. I have absolutely no problem with this country providing succour to those who are fleeing persecution.
However, the people currently landing on the coast of Kent are not refugees. This is where Lineker and Brand are being disingenuous. These people are invaders. They have been recruited by people smuggling gangs from sub Saharan Africa and brought here illegally. They will then end up in the kind of sweat shops recently uncovered in Leicester. There they will toil to pay back the gangs that brought them here. Unlike the Huguenots they will not be adding to this country’s wealth of talent and knowledge. They will be a drain.
Also, given that their first act upon arrival is to break the law of the land, I fail to see why we should welcome them.
Meanwhile, Lineker and Brand and the other smug, self-righteous virtue-signallers are actively enabling an international criminal enterprise. Indeed, it is one of the most foul types of criminal enterprise as it involves enslavement. Rather than seek to stop it, these nasty wokerati prefer to lecture us on the origins of fish and chips in an attempt to guilt trip us. God, they really are utterly vile.
I don’t think that they are bright enough to be guilty of said vileness, they just don’t know any better.
As an aside, have you seen the latest post over at Samizdata about a spat between The Specator and the Co-op?
Yeah, nice reply. I notice that the Co Op seems to have deleted the tweet in question.
Ha ha, you would have thought that they would know by now that deleting stuff doesn’t work and just makes you look like an idiot.
In record time! I suspect their socmed manager is now looking for another job…
Good post Mr LR
I’d add:
Good post Mr LR
I’d add:
Huguenots were refugees (if word existed, it’s late C17 & assylum C18), but meaning was different: no Gov’t handouts, free board and lodging. Also, they knew and accepted they were guests and would be dispatched if not beneficial
Today’s illegals are criminals pure and simple. They’ve raped and pillaged across continents and continue here
Bear in mind the numbers are only those ‘caught’
I bet Lineker’s ‘refugee’ will be stealing and selling items within days How many weeks before Lineker returns to his Barnes mansion and finds ‘refugee’ and entire contents gone or trashed?
Farage nails it
The French are complicit in these crossings. Their navy escorts ngo/smuggler dinghies from Calais to Dover every single day.
Border Farce must stop accepting these illegals from French Navy. Say NO and keep nudging the boats back – accepting encourages more
Furthermore, the 416 are only those intercepted, real number is at least x2
Intercepted this year is >48,000 – that’s more illegals than ‘with’ Covid-19 deaths we’re locked down for
They were. They brought their skills and expertise with them. I am a descendent of one of them.
Well, looking at Jo Brand… I don’t know where fish and chips came from but I can tell you where all the fucking pies went…
OT and feel free to move.
The farcical nature of the whole Covid farrago intensifies with the discovery that Fauci / Mad cow ferguson have their decimal points in the wrong place:

Also the Huguenots nipped over the nearest border and stayed there, unlike this lot traipsing around Europe looking for the most generous handouts.
Wasn’t it Cromwell who readmitted the Jews? Last time I looked he lived in the seventeenth century. So they got that wrong for a start. But why let the truth get in the way of your virtue signalling?
Yes, it was Cromwell.
Fish and chips might have been invented by someone Jewish. Fine.
So apparently we should therefore import millions of the demographic most devoted to wiping out the Jews?!
Well said there JohnS. British Jews have everything to lose by importing shedloads of people from cultures that have ‘kill the Jews’ as their cultural and religious mantra. It’s why the willingness of the small but noisy Jewish Left in the UK to climb aboard the ‘refugees welcome’ bandwagon makes me seriously angry at their utter and complete stupidity.
BTW did you hear about the disturbances in Malmo Sweden? Some Swedes burned a Koran in protest at Islam and the response by Sweden’s Islamic thug population was to riot and shout ‘kill the Jews’ in the streets even there doesn’t seem to have been any Jews involved in the anti Islam protest.
