I did 23 years in the medical services of the Navy. Retired from such last year.
In 2020 we were treated to a zoom online visit by Captain Steven Henry MBE, a co chair of the army BAME network as part of the madness following the death of Floyd.
He wanted to tell us about his lived experiences of life in the UK seeing as he had Jamaican ancestry.
He built up a picture of insults and slights which were open to all manner of interpretation with no context. His crowning experience however which he built up during the session was that of an incident on a train from london to Peterborough the previous year. In it he describes being sat on the busy train and made room for a white bloke to sit down who appeared to have ignored the invitation, Henry tells us that no words were spoken it was performed with body language which Henry instantly interpreted to mean "racist" and insisted on using the egregious microaggression word. He used this ridiculous incident to paint the picture that the UK still has far to go. I was seething at this attitude.
Later he decided to pick on me out of the group of a dozen on my table to hear about my thoughts and I could barely contain my anger at this.
I decided to ask him about the train incident and why he instantly assumes racial connotations. He replied that he gets this "all the time" and that was answer enough. I asked him had any white people ever held a door for him, or let him out at a busy junction in the car, or generally shown human courtesy to him? Of course he relies yes, so I ask why then are you choosing to pick nebulous incidents which may or may not have racial intent to describe the distance this country has yet to go? He waffles about inherent inequality for a time, to which I point out that he holds a MBE. The session ends quickly after this.
Later I was approached by one of my line managers, a major of east asian descent who politely asked me if I was "alright", that people on my table had commented on my "discomfort" with the discussion. I informed her that I took much discomfort from the discussion as led by Capt Henry. She was not present at the discussion table so I told her what I had said. She replied "you have given me much to think about" and left me be.
I retired 8 months later.
I should point out here that I am from Ireland, I love this country and always since a child admired how much it has done for the world. Coming from Ireland I had many moments which I could interpret as "hate" in the modern thought of today, no doubt some were but they are a vanishing minority, most are simply "banter" such as being called a potato picker, paddy, muck eater, etc etc all fine they received banter in return and it washes over me, mostly because these "incidents" are vastly dwarfed by the incidents of common respect, opportunity and decency I have received here in Britain. I am ever thankful for it and pay no mind to the rest.
My boys are being brought up BRITISH but aware of their ancestry in Ireland and more than anything else to feel proud of the country they live in.

I dont understand this Afghan relocation at all. I served 3 tours there and the fact of the matter is that these people dont deserve this opportunity. Take interpreters as an example, They were paid very well for "working" with the UK forces. They were in the majority untrustworthy and especially in the final years we spent much of our time wondering if they were going to attack us or dick us with giving information to the Tali's.
As for our end of Afghanistan there, the country rolled over when we left in a matter of days, they didnt want us there, if they wanted our way of life they didnt want to fight for it! (See ukraine for real opposition).
So I'm left saying this, they didnt want to fight for our way of life in their country, they instead want to come to ours where they dont have to work for it, or sacrifice for it, or maintain it. These people are parasites of the highest order. They are no friends of the UK I can say that much at the least.
I especially detest our stupid politicians such as Tom Tugendhat, saying constantly that we owe these people a debt! WE DO NOT! Tugendhat makes great noises about how he was in Afghanistan and understood being in the forces, he must have served in very different places to mine and perhaps a different services to boot. He is a snake.

I'm Irish myself, came here 28 years ago, during that time I've "endured" plenty that could be considered "racist" these days, my general intelligence tells me that 90% of that was done in jest and for fun and i took it as such, the other 10% while more overt and a bit hurty I shrugged off. The reason why I shrugged it off? Because it is massively outweighed by the times that people in the UK have helped me, shown me kindness, supported me. I spent 23 of the years here in the Navy serving the country, married a lovely girl and have 2 sons that I bring up to be proud of this country. There are hurty words said to people and sometimes actions, but they are largely done by people that weren't worth your time in the first place. Grow a skin and be grateful for the ones that are worth it, emulate them, look to improve yourself not looking for excuses.

I suppose, playing devils advocate, that these countries would blame Britain et al for the slow decline by hampering their ability to succeed. I'm not sure how much evidence there would be for such a concerted effort.
For my part, Africans seem to only respect power, usually at the end of a gun. There seems to be little hunger for aspects of western life which might be seen on a Simon Webb video yesterday on white privilege. Things like being on time, perfectionism, strong work ethic, forward thinking, family, etc.
When I was in South Sudan several years ago I remember an elderly refugee and ex teacher, of the conflict there after the Muslim uprisings telling me that he wished the British would come back. He saw the entry of the Chinese into Africa as another colonial episode on a scale far more efficient and insidious than anything that came before.

5k of my households taxation goes to the NHS directly. This according to those tax letters explaining where your money goes that I haven't seen in some time now.
5k a year! Surely I'd get a pretty good package with private insurance for this money? I've never had cause to use the service outside of the birth of my sons.
I work in the NHS myself and the waste is everywhere. The main problem the NHS faces is the demographic that does use it. Taking a walk through AE dept is like stepping into another continent, I work in the laboratory so I see most of the names that come through the system at all points. The amount of shall we say "exotic" names is shocking especially with chronic disease, cancer, genetic disease, blood disorders, and reproductive assistance programmes.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that immigration is a huge cost to the NHS. This also affects the staff side, we haven't taken on a white bloke in my dept for over 10 years! The place is being held up by a handful of close to retirement white blokes. The last interview we held the band 8 manager admitted that HR had passed on 300 applications to her for review, all from the likes of Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda etc. She's as woke as they come but even she found her convictions tested when faced with this set of reviews. The rest we've taken on are a mix of the following:
Sickly, unprofessional, unqualified or qualifications unable to be verified, malcontented, unwilling to work to the rate and standard required, constantly pregnant, morale vacuums, prickly, I honestly could go on but I have 10 mins left in peace before I have to face another day of this.

I work in the NHS, surrounded by "minorities" our dept is 47 people, 24 are a visible "minority". There are 4 white blokes in the dept.
I detest working with the vast majority of them, they are a mix of the following: lazy, unqualified, unprofessional, feckless, sickly, morale vacuums, unable to integrate, cannot work in a team, liars, dangerous to patient outcomes, unwilling to be told what to do, prickly and obstructive.
The list not inexhaustible, neither are they all of those things but have a good old mix of them.
For my money I would tell viewers the following... do all you can to NOT be in hospital at this time. It breaks me how their behaviour is accepted by "management", I cant blame them in some ways, the 2 we have are diminutive middle aged women who are both feckless ejjits that do all they can to avoid seeing or hearing about dept issues. One of them is so averse to it, she goes the very long way round to avoid going through the main work area to get out of the dept. Pathetic.

@nicholasmorrill4711 I absolutely 100% agree on the failing to reduce immigration, they shouldn't promise what they won't achieve and they knew that when they said it. Again it has come down on to matter of numbers in power I think. I'm really not banging any drum for the tories here, but they are the only credible party at the moment to choose from. I dont particularly trust Priti and Boris at all, you only have to see how they issue strong words on the meagre numbers coming on boats across the channel, yet blind siding us with the numbers coming in from countries that wish our society harm, through current LEGAL means. See the history debunked channel for some words on this recently.
It comes down to competence and yes that really is a sliding scale as it applies to politicians. For instance I quite liked many of the views put forward by UKIP, at that time giving all things as equal, would I want them in power running the economy, services, industry etc, probably not they had some good people scattered in there but on the whole they were a one issue party like the damned SNP. See how well Scotland is going these days with SNP running the country, they're going to snap and splinter and fail eventually not on the One Issue but with everything else. Competence.

Our politicians are only that in name anymore, really they are jumped up civil servants who enact the orders of, and push responsibility to, the whims of others, others whom have very conflicting and unfriendly views about us.
This was a habit our political class got into with being the in the EU, Tony Benn MP said as much 40 years or more ago.
Push the blame onto these "faceless, nowhere people", we've heard it all by now....UNHCR, EU commission, EU courts of justice, all our politicians do is point at these things and shrug their shoulders. We have to get leaders back to those who want to make decisions and resist this global government idea.

Beautifully said Simon. I see it in my work place in the NHS, my dept hasn't hired a white man in over 10 years. We have only hired black, or south Asian women or men. From my seeing of the thing, they are one or more of the following: feckless, lazy, unprofessional, under qualified, grudge bearing, sickly...I could go on, but seem to think they work in a cat food factory rather than a hospital. They come and go, more get hired and time spent training them wasted, they leave, and the circle goes round and round.
We recently advertised for 2 Band 6 jobs, the band 8 manager we have tells me that HR passed on 300 applications to her for review, she says that every application is more of the same, the majority directly from African countries. Now our manager is female, white, and paid up fully to the right on age we live in here in the UK. Even she has started to feel the cognitive gears start to snarl up when faced with the realities. I suggested that she ought to select on the basis of VERIFIABLE qualifications and experience. That's all that is required.

Daithi, I have the same set of conceptions on the continent, mine bearing from my military service which took me to the continent on several occasions.
South Sudan particularly sits in my mind, what used to have a passable professional class with a basic educational system and some mobility economically. It is now a desolate wasteland not out of place in a science fiction story. The place riven with tribal fighting and corruption. It is now policed by the equally feckless United Nations, a more useless organisation there never was. It is a tax on rich nations, for every soldier a country provides the providing country is paid approx $120 per day, the "peacekeepers" being made up of the likes of the Pakistani, Mongolian, Angolan countries. The UN sorts precisely NOTHING out where they go, there is no incentive to sorting anything because if its sorted, the peacekeepers are not required and the money being paid could stop! The very definition of a "self licking lolly".
As part of group of UK peacekeeping and engineers (a very very rare thing, as the UN hates the UK being involved in their business) we achieved more in 6 months than thr previous 10 years of the UN. Figure that! What an awful indictment for this ridiculous organisation.
