Britain is a tinderbox: Hiring at its slowest rate, redundancies rise, asylum granted to thousands - this is dangerous Mr Starmer! - Kelvin MacKenzie

So, here’s a good test for Starmer. He should offer to pay their air fares to return to Damascus (a damned site cheaper than paying to stay in a hotel over here) and if they don’t take up the invite we should hurry them out.

I recognise that is not easily done under a Starmer government which is only interested in SIDS (Skint Idle Dim Socialists) but due to the gloom surrounding the UK economy I can see nothing but tensions between communities grow as the number of jobs available is seriously reduced by the massive NI hike in Rachel Thieves Budget.

There is a survey out today by KPMG showing companies are hiring at the slowest rate for four years. Demand for staff last month fell at its sharpest rate since August 2020 when the UK was still in the throes of the pandemic.

That report also showed growing numbers are looking for work amid reports of rising redundancies.

What did Rachel from Accounts imagine was going to happen at companies if there was no growth in revenues or profits but a sharp rise in costs which were imposed on them by a government which wanted train drivers to earn £93,000 a year. There were only three solutions; redundancies, a pay freeze or a hiring freeze. And they are all happening.

If more people are out of work and what available housing appears to be going to migrants ( a point raised by Trevor Phillips on Sky News with that idiot Angela Rayner) I can see difficulties arising between locals.

After all it is Starmer’s policy to push through asylum seeker application at a record rate, meaning tens of thousands will be legitimately looking for work just as the economy takes a nasty downturn. A BDO survey forecasts the UK will contract by the end of the year ie go into recession. Thank you, Reeves!

You don’t have to be a genius to work out the tensions when your son or daughter fails to land a job but somebody from say Eritrea, who arrived by boat illegally from across the Channel 18 months ago, does secure the post. Especially if DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) are involved.

The reality is there is not going to be growth in the economy and Starmer knows it. What he is banking on is that more and more jobs are created by the state and to that end he had made it more attractive through giving huge pay rises matching the private sector and at the same time keeping final salary pensions which haven’t existed for decades in private firms.

Throw in the fact that WFH is offered on a massive scale in the state – a story in the Telegraph said that a good number of NHS hospital bosses have a contract which allowed them to work from home ALL week- and you can see why being a civil servant or the like is so very attractive.

Put all this together and I fear for the cohesion of the nation. After all, look at the riots in the summer after the Southport killings to realise what a tinderbox world we live in.

A nation getting poorer, coupled with a huge number coming from lands of which we know not, and the result could be very dangerous indeed. All of it to be laid at the door of Starmer and Co.

The sooner they are kicked out the better.
