    I don’t think the immigrants are to blame. They make a really easy target for politicians to blame, but… I mean, we both saw Boris Johnson campaigning for his fucking life on ‘SAVE THE NHS SAVE THE NHS, JUST LET ME BAN ALL IMMIGRANTS AND RESTRICT HEALTHCARE SO I CAN SAVE THE NHS’ and then he didn’t give the NHS any money or support or investment, he just slipped a an absolutely fat bonus to all his tory friends and big businesses.

    We should have invested in ourselves, yes. Just, please don’t be fooled into thinking we invested into immigrants. ‘We’ (the Tories) invested into the offshore bank accounts of the 0.1%.

      They’re easy to blame though. No government is going to say “you are suffering because of our policies” and the Tories will always point fingers at some group to spread the blame.

      I didn’t say we invested in immigrants. We didn’t invest at all.

      It’s a cost saving exercise at the expense of the everday person.
