The current fad among members of the liberal Left for wearing safety pins in order to show their ‘solidarity” with migrants is another example of virtue signalling guff promoted by members of the middle class Left. This middle class Left will never have to live with the problems that excessive numbers of migrants and inappropriate types of migration has done to this country. That dubious honour is reserved for the ordinary working class person in the UK who has to sit by watch whilst their traditional areas are turned into hostile ghettos. This latest bit of virtue signalling by the middle class Left is yet another way of arrogantly telling the rest of us to ‘shut up and enjoy the enforced diversity’.
Even though the ‘safety pin’ idea is a complete crock of shit it does have one genuine positive use. We now know that when we encounter those who are wearing this symbol then we know who and what they are. It’s a very effective ‘Twat badge’. It tells normal people that the wearer is someont who hates democracy, is quite happy to be ruled over by a foreign dictatorship and is very much in favour of Britain being flooded with all sorts of undesirables.
This is idiotic virtue signalling of the worst type. It will do nothing to reduce tensions, nothing to help the very small number of innocent migrants who have been attacked and is basically a device for the wearer to say: ‘look at me, look how caring I am.’ In a way it’s a good thing that these idiots are doing such a thing as it makes them easier to spot and means that I am unlikely to shout out ‘wanker’ to someone who doesn’t deserve it. I can now enter an unfamiliar pub and know exactly who I should bother to speak to.
Although I’m the first to admit that Britain has been assisted and genuinely enriched by those who’ve come here in the past as migrants, it also cannot be denied that the sort of immigration that Britain has experienced over the last 20 years has been profoundly destructive and economically draining. It’s very obvious that those wearing the safety pin motif either support such destruction or do not have to suffer the consequences of it.
I’m old enough to remember when wearing safety pins as decoration was a sign of rebellion. I’ve lived long enough to now see wearing safety pins as expressing support for the Establishment. How times change eh?

The BBC seems to be backing this safety pin campaign which is always a good sign that a campaign is ‘metro-Left’ knobwittery
