Indigenous Middlesbrough families......

The standard of people in local politics, is a reason i am sceptical, of starmers new "Take back control" policy of devolving powers from Westminster to local government when we have numpties like preston and houchen involved.
 
Maybe losing his highly paid "advisor", who no one knows how many hours were worked for his £2.5k per month of our money, and didn't follow the correct recruitment process to bring on board, means he's struggling with managing his social media channels. It can't be easy to be doing his "Who is the best Teessider" competition on Twitter, and doing his mayoral duties.

Perhaps he should stick to playing the role of poundshop Peter Kay, with his "do you remember spangles" posts?
 
I think this elucidates several things that some have long suspected, the main take is that people within politics, like Preston, are making equivalence between legitimate asylum seekers and people who are involved in criminality, a dangerous, racist and myopic view.

That despite claims by the Government to the contrary the Rwandan scheme is seen as penal rather than exculpational, this either shows incompetence in delivering the details of the policy or a more sinister and insidious motive of criminalising and punishing those with justifiable claims to be accepted.

That people like Preston are dog whistle politicians that will bend to whims rather than stand up for what they believe, the aim of modern politics has become a way of getting likes over making any real difference for too many.

And finally that the old adage of sometimes saying nothing and allowing people to think you're an idiot is a much better course of action than opening your mouth and proving it.

Oh dear :(

The indigenous thing is interesting (if that's the right word) as when I did some basic ancestry research I had a relative going by the name of Meelach Mulligan who settled in Linthorpe in 1838. I thought he might have been a bit posh living there but then I realised it couldn't say "Middlesbrough" cos it wasn't there then and he was in a house with 11 others.

He was from Cork (via Manchester). Is that 'indigenous' enough for the rabid racist?

There were only 25 people living in Middlesbrough in 1801. Most would have worked on the farm owned by the Parrington family. I hope their ancestors were not fearful this weekend.
 
My family ancestory goes back to Eire - came over to work in agriculture.
They must have come over on a boat.
So I better feck myself off to Rwanda!
They`d be no industrial revolution without the Irish and definitely no railways!
