In the upside down world of post Brexit Tory far right rule



Sooooooooo lets get this straight

Things not to blame for refugees attempting to cross the channel and enter the UK including but not limited to: War; Tyranny, Starvation, Pandemic, Deadly Regimes, Economic destitution, LGBTQI in danger of imprisonment, torture and death etc et al. Oh, and let’s not forget the far-right home office closing down safe legal routes to apply for asylum and the utter incompetence and vileness of the current administration. NONE of these things are to blame for the refugee situation in the channel. Of course not. Of course, it is social media to blame. Good grief.

Take back control of our borders was one of the main themes of the Brexit campaign. Not a great look, when you are sending EU students to immigration detention cause they have the wrong paperwork, while refugees are posting their arrival by boat and so deflection is a must. However, blaming TiKTok for their utter shiteness is a new one. You could not make it up.

Pretty common job for newer migrants and most liked to talk. I figured they’d come to the US mostly for economic opportunity, which certainly plays a part. The most common reason I heard was for a safe place to raise their family. Americans by and large have no idea how good we have it. Plenty wrong here but I generally don’t fear for my life.

nations now they are sending their people to the nations to reclaim and retrieve the wealth stolen from them? Meanwhile China is stepping to steal a share for themselves.
