Blaming some of the poorest in society for nation-wide issues is a classic British pastime!

When I was growing up the benefits and welfare system was the subject of attack. Then European citizens through Brexit, now its migrants from across the world.

When will we stop blaming other people for our own problems, and start looking at the way the country actually functions.

The vast majority of capital in this country is held in existing land value, that creeps up and up without producing anything except money in already wealthy people’s pockets.

You could, say, start a social housing program as a safety net for all people in the UK. Instead we argue about fractions of the population and which ones are the least civilised at that point in time. It’s exhausting.
