    It’s a start. I want to believe they are seeing the issue but I just don’t trust them to not hand wave whilst still bending over for the rich and allowing them to screw us all.

      I don’t even know when I last saw a migrant and yet you think I should be blaming them on my problems? Seen plenty of fucking landlords though.

              We have had Indians here for a few generations at least, I mean, empire and all that…

              Mostly had experience meeting Sikhs and they are some of the nicest people you could imagine. They grew up in the same area as me, so did their parents.

                  anyone who questions or criticizes immigration is just racist

                  If they start making valid arguments instead of just “get rid of immigrants” then I might listen. Like we could talk about different visas, I generally think the skilled worker visa is alright and something to encourage. Extending or restricting some industries might be a point to consider in some cases too.

                  But when the people I see smashing up the street and leaving nails or broken glass in front of my house just complain about anyone brown, I won’t take them seriously.
