When in doubt, blame immigration

Professional trolls like Leo McKinstry make a living out of being hatefully provocative, writing shit like this:

In the past decade, Britain has lost its soul and character through shallow commercialism and mass immigration. We are constantly told to celebrate diversity and prosperity, yet we are a nation without any strong national identity or values.

The football Premier League, utterly dominated by foreign interests and spectacular greed, is the breeding ground for our England inadequates, who, in Oscar Wilde's famous words, know 'the price of everything and the value of nothing'.

The sorry consequences are there for all to see in South Africa.

There you go. When in doubt, blame immigration. If it's a story about the England football team, blame immigration. And yes, I know. I know. I know that by even mentioning this vile little cuntflap I'm doing exactly what he wants me to do. These people want to be flamebait as much as anything else - all links are good links, and all traffic to the article proves that they're doing their prolling job properly: they've got a reaction, and hurrah for that! They love the disapproval as much as the approval. "I must be doing something right, I've annoyed the right people!" - and there's another fat cheque to write more of the same horrible, deceitful, unpleasant thinly-veiled prejudiced filth. Maybe some people will complain about it and then they can hide behind their hands and say Ooh, these awful liberals are trying to censor me, they're the real fascists aren't they? Except look, I'm not trying to censor Leo McKinstry, cunt of all cunts, high priest of "blame immigration" lying bullshit: I just want to call him the vacuous prick he so clearly and resolutely is, and who he rejoices in being day after day, being paid for this kind of deviant wank.

Fuck you, McKinstry. Fuck you in the eye, in the face, in the skull, till your tongue pops out. You're a piece of shit and you know it. You've carved out a career as a despicable troll and you've managed to write article after article after article blaming immigration for everything - and people love it. The Express, the Mail, the Telegraph, they've all queued up for one of your "blame the immigrants" articles, and I daresay you've done very well out of it. That it's hatemongering shite probably doesn't concern you for a nanosecond: it's job done as far as you're concerned.

And yes, I'm painfully aware that even by writing this, it will give you a ripple of satisfaction for your words having hit the target and made someone somewhere so pissed off that they write a tedious swear-filled rebuttal like this. And yes, you've won, because you're the big man getting paid by massive news organisations for your borderline racist rubbish, whereas anyone challenging you just has to throw whatever we say into the ether, for it to be picked up or ignored. So well done to you. I know I'm not going to change anything by writing this, but I've got to. Because I've had enough of this kind of shit. I'm fed up with reading bullshit like this, unchallenged, time after time.

So it was immigration that ruined the England football team, was it? I suppose your ideal England football squad would be without Emile Heskey, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Ashley Cole, Ledley King, Aaron Lennon, Glen Johnson and Rio Ferdinand, given that they're the products of 'mass immigration'. I suppose the team would be so much better off without them. But why stop there? Rooney doesn't sound a particularly English name, does it? He doesn't belong there either! Yes, I can see the England team being so much better off, if it weren't for 'mass immigraton'.

Fuck you, McKinstry. I'm cheering on the pink, beige, brown and whatever colour players we have. I'm backing them. Yes, I'll celebrate diversity, you fuckstick, and I don't care what you say. I'm supporting England. Even if they're shit. Especially when they're shit. I don't care, they're still my team. And it's nothing to do with immigration or foreigners. And yes, I know your weasel fallback position will be that you didn't mean to imply that England shouldn't have any of those players in the team; but if you blame immigration for England's ills, where else do you expect people to go? And don't pretend you're entirely innocent if people might arrive at those conclusions, even if you haven't explicitly pointed to them yourself. You're not dumb. A complete scumbag, yes. But dumb? No, oh no, you're much too calculating for that.

So there you are. He's done his job. He's written the controversial thing. He's all happy and proud of himself. He wins. Shit like this is paydirt. He gets paid. He'll be asked to write more, and more, and more, because that's the way it is.
