      Want really pushes Reforms power is believing that immigrants in some way make it harder for you to find a job. Of course they don’t, that’s bullshit. Companies like Tesco’s are not allowed to hire people who aren’t documented, and the thing is, they don’t. Literally no one ever has lost their job because a company hired an immigrant at bargain in basement wages, it doesn’t happen.

      You just believe it happens because you believe Nigel.

      If you were going to berate people you really should look up what you’re talking about.

      Also

      when you are looking at not far off a London a decade, immigration is simply not sustainable.

      What on Earth does that mean?

      You should watch Gary Stevenson on YouTube. The problem is wealth going to the rich. Immigration is the ruse.

          Speaking as a Brit, though, it is not generally the Londoners who are complaining about the immigration.

          It is the rural counties, who get the least of it. Speaking from experience, as someone living in a county that is (as per the 2021 census) counted as 95.2% White British, and yet has a strong Reform showing, and having to deal with countless friends and relatives complaining about “the immigrants”. The ones that simply don’t exist here.

          It helps put into proper context that Reform’s popularity in many places is more cultural than demographic - based on feelings more than facts.

          You can argue that immigration is a legitimate problem, but you should also have an answer to give in regards to people like the ones in my local area, whose view of immigration isn’t representative of any sort of lived reality, but is completely manufactured. People like the ones in my locality rightly delegitimise concerns about immigration for many people, because it shows how people can irrationally fear it without any experience of it at all. It shows how concern is often an issue of false perceptions, rather than being grounded in reality.
