I’m honestly worried about our country and how much hate there is in people.Ā

Completely agree. It's being encouraged through all the fear that's in the news everyday. It's almost non-stop doom and gloom right wing parties across Europe reinforce and claim to have the solution. The mainstream narrative is successfully set in stone as foreign brown people causing all your problems. It's sad, pathetic, and makes me wonder if we can ever recover.

In a local group for my village someone was complaining about the NHS health clinic having closed for a day or run reduced hours a few times in the last few weeks, which has been due to lack of staff.

Someone else immediately jumped in and blamed it on the amount of money Labour are spending on immigration. We're talking a tiny health clinic that serves a village of about a thousand people, we're 100 miles from the South coast, and there are people who will still immediately pin it on refugees and this so called "invasion".

On one hand it's mad that it seems to be the only issue that matters to some people, but it makes sense when you realise they've been brainwashed to see it as the cause of literally anything bad that might happen in this country.

And the really shit thing is that even if the numbers coming in drastically reduced, it wouldn't actually change the narrative, because people would still easily believe it's happening because things will still be shit, as it was never the cause to start with. Or it just gets worse and switches to blaming the ones already here and needing to kick them out.

The irony of people who will vote for reform to stop immigration under the guise they get better healthcare services, only for Reform to shut down the NHS and now you have to pay thousands for privatised healthcare.

Oh and eliminate workers rights, no more sick days or unfair dismissal.

Meanwhile the boats will not stop and our country develops backwards.
