    Just to add more context, this is currently the most popular open petition.

    This is very disturbing.

      welcome to the new world, where hating other human beings is government policy.

      in the united states this is primarily racist, ignorant conservatives.

      England is very strongly positioned on the right of the political spectrum. This still seems to surprise people. Brexit, Farage, Reform and Boris Johnson have/had majority support. England is very deeply conservative to the point that the Conservative party isn’t even enough for them. Anyone who is surprised by this is basically willfully ignoring news.

      Click on the map in that petition. England (outside London) and Wales are deeply red. London, Scotland and Ireland are quite light.

      Asylum seekers are a subset of all migrants, but they’re all considered “bloody foreigners”.

      The guy at work was mentioning immigrants and hotels today, I use him as a baseline as to what the sheep in society are thinking. He’s now actually blaming the previous conservative government and labour for the mess we are in., instead of just the labour government. It’ll be interesting if I hear about this tomorrow
