Ok so firstly, to suggest I haven't spoken numerous times about the absurd levels of privilege I've enjoyed, shows that you're making sh1t up.

I hate to break this to you, but we are way down the list of numbers of refugees and asylum seekers we accept compared to our nearest neighbours - a FACT.

Here's what you don't understand - being in the EU afforded us free movement to also go to other european countries to work and live and we took advantage of that too, but we've killed that now, so your rights have been taken away from you, because the far right gets mad about people coming here. It's also weird, because when British people move abroad they are ex-pats of course, but people coming here under the same rules are immigrants. These are the subtleties that you don't seem to grasp, and that's why the racist propaganda has left us with worker shortages, leading to future potential food shortages.

We've cut our foreign aid budget, and we're making it illegal to rescue asylum seekers dumped in the channel.

I don't moan for my privilege, because my privilege remains the same regardless of who resides in number 10, I moan about the injustices for the poor, for the homeless, and for the people we've displaced over decades.
