"No one is illegal on stolen land" says @billieeilish
The applause she receives would suggest that most of humanity has given up on the idea of borders; national identities; structures that keep people protected and systems that keep civilised societies turning...

The entitled ignorance on display is deeply worrying and shockingly arrogant.
Polanski says “stop running and look around.”
Fine. Look around:
• Illegal migrants rewarded for breaking into the country
• Benefits rising while you work harder
• Towns transformed beyond recognition
• Sex crimes at record highs
• Sectarianism infiltrating parliament and your councils
• Two-tier policing
• Courts having to declare what a man and a woman is
• NHS waiting lists through the roof
• Schools crumbling
The solution isn’t more socialism and globalism. That’s what got us into this mess. But the Greens want you to focus on the 55 British Billionaires, not the government under cutting your wages with cheap labour, putting your safety at risk with open borders. Need I go on.

Taxing you more, pushing more wealth out of Britain and importing cheap labour isn’t the solution, it’s literally the problem.
