I don’t think Braverman has nearly as much support within her Westminster bubble as she does in the loud, vociferous, yet tiny minority of the country? We fought and scraped through a war to end the threat of people like her and the fascist mob she whipped up at the weekend. Most of the country gets it.
And, on immigration: WHEN will people FINALLY get it into their heads? We NEED population GROWTH! URGENTLY! The type of people who are willing to refuse the will of violent dictators and risk their lives to protect their families and get to Britain are primarily young, determined, honest, hard working, principled people, seeking to live in a democracy and contribute to society. These are the VERY PEOPLE Britain NEEDS right now. Young workers who will produce taxable income and prevent the growing aging population from facing pensions wipeouts and destitution in under funded hospitals, hospices and, “care homes,” in which a Health Secretary might well consign you to a DEATH SENTENCE, merely for existing, rather than spending a penny on your welfare!
Sorry to get so excited about this, but I sometimes feel like I have woken up in a nightmare, wherein everyone seems to believe the opposite of simple truth! We should be doing everything in our power to stimulate young population growth, for the sake of the economy, our position in the world and our future as a nation with some power at the negotiating table. And, let’s face it? We have SO MUCH left to negotiate! Not just with Europe either.
