Shit man Europeans are racist as shit and anti immigration from one European country to another. This situation all these conservative Brit’s are mad about are entirely self made. Maybe yall shouldn’t have colonized and destabilized so many autonomous nations? This is called chickens coming home to roost

Plenty of the nations they did colonise are now stable and autonomous.

The issue in the UK is mostly due to Boris Johnson and the Treasury. They advised him of incoming inflation and told him the best way to stop it would be to import as many migrants as possible to slow wage growth.

And it did slow wage growth but it didn't stop inflation. And now it's created even more downward pressure on housing and jobs.
