They don't understand basic things about "net immigration statistics" and have a completely warped sense of what is going on.
It is up to the government and the media to educate, but both are too busy batting their eyes at Nigel Farage's voters.
Regrettably, this is 100% true.

Today in my tiny world:
Commissioner of labor statistics fired bc president did not like jobs data
Staff at education science agency terminated
Portugal says it plans to recognize the State of Palestine in September.
With the slow rollout of all these announcements there’s clearly been a lot of discussion and co-ordination behind the scenes.
Poor woman.

The tweet reads: “Despite what Labour are claiming, Scottish water is world renowned. 87% of Scotland's entire water environment is assessed by SEPA as having a 'high' or 'good' classification for water quality - up from 82% in 2014. Public ownership is not just possible, it works in Scotland!” The tweet is quote tweeting another tweet, which reads: “My letter to UK Gov Minister Steve Reed asking him to retract his false statements about the condition of water in Scotland. IWC was able to report we’re in a much better position than rUk with 87% “high” or “good” status. Public ownership works.“
🏴 The SNP will always keep Scotland’s water in Scotland’s hands.
The current fiasco in England shows that public ownership works.
Scottish Water delivers a better service, reinvestment not profit, and 20% lower bills than England. 🚰
All societies contain psychopaths. If you give them a 'cause' to unite behind to 'validate' or 'justify' their murderous urges, whether religious, ethnic, cultural or otherwise, they will embrace it and loudly proclaim their entitlement to act in the most debased, inhuman fashion.

I wonder about the relation between tax/social security contributions and pension entitlement. Our pensions here in France are higher but so are our social charges. Many (most?) British people I know are ferociously opposed to paying taxes they feel they won't or might not benefit from.
