Whatever the rights and wrongs around the immigration issue we are clearly being played by a govt that needs to find a polarising and populist issue to dominate the next GE and persuade large chunks of the population that have been shafted by them for over a decade to vote for them again. It's what they did with brexit, and it's what I believe they will try to do now with immigration.
On that basis I don't think there is anything stupid or I'll judged about what braverman said today- it's absolutely calculated.
I think the point here is that we're talking about people who are from an immensely privileged background despite their status as a racial minority. They are all the children of wealthy professionals who bought their kids an expensive private education. They have as much of an idea of what it's like for a poor black or brown kid growing up as George Osborne does a poor white kid.The most racist immigration policy agenda has been delivered by a procession of Asian home secretaries… if I didn’t have a sense of humor I would cry.
These cockroaches have no shame. They realized white people saying racist things polls bad but when it comes from a brown/black person is their version of “woke”.
I don’t know how and when as a POC you sell your soul to be someone’s puppet. Millions of their ancestors died for them to be where they are and they choose this. As a black man it really hurts seeing it in the UK and USA.
I don’t care if another black person or minority subscribes to a different POV from me. But at least do it with some self respect!

I'm sure large numbers of them are as you describe, but how do we suss out who's who and help the deserving? So far I've not heard any of our politicians come up with policies that effectively find a sensible middle ground between uncontrolled immigration and the 'send em back' school of thought.lol.
