Apart from Indigenous Australians aren't we all descended from immigrants?

The main reason we won't rejoin the EU any time soon is because too many Labour supporters who were Remain (maybe even supposedly "strong Remain") have now tucked their ambitions to rejoin away on the dusty shelf marked "maybe one day eventually" for fear of contradicting Labour's Brexit maximalism.

Mosque finds union jack tied to railings and puts it in window - BBC News A Muslim centre in Wirral said it is flying the union jack in to show it is proud to be British.

You don’t see this👇🏼news pushed by the BBC on its main news page like they “report” when Farage opens his mouth or a migrant lands etc..

#RightWingScum put a Union Jack on a Mosque to intimidate them..

So its leaders put it in a window saying 'This is our flag... we are proud British Muslims”👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼

So acc to a very agitated Malcolm Rifkind on Today we are in a national crisis re Immigration and the only solution is to leave the EHCR. - This won’t solve anything. It’s just Brexit 2.0.
The absolute hysteria that has engulfed some politicians and the U.K. media is astonishing. To put it mildly.

Most Brits Now Believe The UK Economy Has Got Worse Since We Left The EU It comes as Labour look to strengthen trade ties with our European neighbours.

"Nearly three-quarters of Brits think the UK economy has got worse since Brexit, according to a new poll."

Nearly three-quarters of parliament remain silent on the subject.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. 

That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation
