The saddest thing is that this is just perpetuation of the class war that’s been waged on the poor since time began, save for a brief period following the Second World War, although that did manage to kill a huge number of the working class, so their stock and value briefly rose.
Then Thatcher destroyed almost all the jobs that many of these peoples forbears would have done and the suppression of the working class began again in earnest.
We had years of ‘it’s all the fault of the EU’ then it was freedom of movement, then the even greater divide began as we Brexited.
Government then demonises migrants, whist issuing more visas in the last 3 years than ever before. Importing cheap labour instead of paying proper wages for people in the caring profession, was their answer. (Another thing Brexit was supposed to solve). Of course, most ‘care homes’ are owned via shell companies in tax havens so why would their owners (in a good number of cases Tory MP’s or donors) want that?
Now, after years of under investment (and sadly it looks like Starmer and Reeves are a Cameron and Osborne tribute act, even when all the evidence says that we’re here, absolutely because of them 2), everything blamed on ‘illegals’. Apparently they’re all single young men, who are purely economic migrants, but who are also stopping us getting a GP/hospital appointment and making all our schools full..
If any of the ‘patriots’ ever started to join the dots, and realised they’ve far more in common with many immigrants, there would be chaos.
Far better for the non=elites, men of the People, like Farage, Tice, Johnson and the like to wind them up and send them out to do their bidding.
On that note I see Farage has now appointed himself leader of the opposition and inciter in chief. After his performance on Monday suggesting ‘they’re keeping things from us”, he’s now surrounded by flags saying; “I tell you what. What you’ve seen on the streets of Hartlepool, of London, of Southport is nothing to what could happen over the course of the next few weeks.”
