Tbh I’m German, lived here for many years would consider myself well integrated but even for someone who isn’t “foreign looking” it’s exhausting and quite scary. We’re raising our son to be bilingual and I’ve stopped talking in German to him in public places like playgrounds because of the hostile looks we get from the flag shaggers that should visit the jobcenter instead of a 20 people protest. Don’t even want to know how it feels for people with a different skin colour.
It’s almost as though going on holiday and building a new life in a new country are two completely different things.
Boyle doesn’t understand the difference between living somewhere and a holiday, it seems.
The number of people struggling to see how this is remotely relatable says a lot tbh.

You go on holiday for a week, therefore you must take in millions of immigrants permanently?
Frankie Boyle blocked me on Twitter after I asked if he could start drinking again because he was funny when he drank.
Oh I completely misunderstood this!
My first read was “why would anyone want to integrate British culture, you’d end up having to only eat egg and chips whenever you’re on holiday!”
And the same people also accuse us Welsh speakers of speaking a “foreign language” on public transport.
Also, lots of these flag painting cretins are unable to even assimilate in their neighbourhoods, let alone their country. Just ask the people who have to live next door to them
Do the British “integrate” in Asia or Africa? They literally have entire towns catered to them. I’ve never seen a Brit in Asia behave like an Asian. These people are hypocrites.
A member of my family who goes on these protest things (I know, we’ve told him he’s a cock) said to me “if they keep letting these immigrants in, I’m moving to Australia”, so I laughed thinking he was taking the piss and he looked at me with a serious expression and wondered why I was laughing…. Some people have no idea what they’re saying or doing half the time.
If they sell it They’ll eat it
Unfortunately Mr Boyle is not as enlightened when it comes to people with learning difficulties.
His practice of using them for material is as hostile as the anti-immigration mob are to asylum seekers. It is actively anti-inclusion.
The message about the stupidity of the anti-immigration element is very valid, but would be better delivered by someone who wasn’t making money out of doing ‘Us and Them’ comedy routines targeted at another vulnerable minority. Because that is a pretty bad thing to be doing.
It’s wild how the people who shout the loudest about national identity are often the ones contributing the least to their actual communities. That constant, low-level anxiety about speaking your own language in public is so draining. You really hit the nail on the head about the difference between performative patriotism and genuine integration.
I dont really get why everyone’s complaining? We are the same, you see people from other countries questioning the same things we do in England, they want home country food to? My Mrs is Swedish and says it would be nice to have stuff from home and as a incredibly multicultural country already we catter to so much.
The fact everyone is saying its “Daunting” being asked were your from are wet wipes its part of every day conversation and opens dialogue 🙄
I’m British but I’m learning Lithuanian for my partner, who also speaks perfect English. I just want to speak Lithuanian in public so some flag shagger can have a go at being racist and I can give them both barrels.
Eggsactly
When I lived in Spain for six years none of the English integrated, they also sent their kids to an English speaking school so the kids could hardly speak any either.
Now I’m from Belfast and spoke fluent Spanish, took about over a year to a decent level.
Look at all the propagandists and foreigners doing nothing but attack local people yet they whinge and cry the devil when its on the other shoe. 🤣
Holidaying is a bit different to immigrating
Anyone living in any country who did not start life in that country should try to assimilate. Literally nobody expects or wants tourists to assimilate. That’s a whole different thing. Getting a visa is much easier than get citizenship for a reason.
Boy, of all the people to complain about voice annoyance at foreigners coming to your country. The British? Really? I guess it’s not possible to pillage self-awareness
I find it ironic. People want integration but if you look or sound a certain way they don’t want there. People can’t integrate by themselves or in a hostile environment
We got Frankie Boyle being Woke before GTA 6 😭.
His observations are clever and hilarious!
As a brown immigrant here, the taxes that I pay is more than the average national wage. And yet, I’m happy to pay these taxes because the UK has given me so many opportunities.
Having lived in 4 countries too as a serial expat, it’s given me a lot of perspective such as a low-tax country doesn’t necessarily mean a better place to live. So I gladly contribute in this country and also volunteer on my free time as well.
What sucks is that this is often the case for the legal immigrants. While many of the locals complain and whinge about paying taxes while at the same time complaining that they are not getting enough benefits.
It’s honestly wild because if these same people had their way and get all of us contributing immigrants out of the country, there will be no one left who are happy to do the work and pay the dues.
Flagshaggers: Fit in or f**k off
Me: *marries an English woman & has kids
Them: Not like that!
Bit of a dumb take one is visiting and the other is living there for good? Not exactly the strongest argument
There’s a huge difference between going on holiday and ordering egg and chips to moving to another country saying you want a better quality of life while actively trying to turn it into the shithole you ran away from and then start crying and calling everyone racist whenever anyone says anything to them 🙄 Seriously go drive through Coventry or Birmingham and you can instantly tell what ethnicities are the majorities in different areas there’s usually rubbish dumped 6 feet in the air up and down the road gardens are also piled full of rubbish houses are complete eye sores and the entire are absolutely stinks but yeah thats completely comparable to someone going on a week long holiday and ordering food
If you’re a Brit in Spain and you don’t speak Spanish, live in your own enclave etc then you shouldn’t be surprised if the Spanish government decides to deport you. Same goes with people in this country and any other country. Speaking the main native language and interacting with people outside your community is important for integration and just existing in that society in general.
People pointing at menus on their holiday is not the same thing as being an immigrant though is it, it’s a completely stupid comparison.
Immigrants should integrate, or they should go somewhere else.
I look at Frankie Boyle and know he’s probably got a few quid but in the words of Jim Royle when he was talking about Chris Evans ” he might be a bloody millionaire but he’s still got ginger bollocks !!”
Might aswell be the crusades with how horrible looking at the St George’s cross is these days
When will the funny memes come back. Like shit about Freddo prices or something. It’s always something to do with politics with this sub.
I am an immigrant (Australian) and my wife is south American. TBH we have had nothing but good interactions with every one in he UK.
She hasn’t had any questions on where she is from etc. I think 98 percent of people don’t give a shit. I know this is just anecdotal but it’s really not all doom and gloom. You should still be proud to be British
Who in the fuck wants to was eggs and ….chips? Put some Sambal Olek or Piri Piri on it at least
I don’t think that many Brits are pointing at egg and chips on a menu. And those that are, are reflected by every other nationality’s simple folk when they visit somewhere where they don’t know the language.
Holiday != immigration
The bots are out again
Ah, the classic move, we *deserve* to be destroyed rhetoric.

Right because being on holiday is equivalent to long term residency. You’re also getting your talking points from a racist who used to say the n word.
Edit: Boyle saying n word:
