Reform’s call to deport ALL people who legally make a life here - paying taxes, forming families, volunteering and even being elected - needs calling out.
Contrary to Farage, ILR doesn’t = criminal. They ARE net contributors to our economy.
An expensive, hateful & stupid plan.
Understand what this means.
I work alongside a foreign national. We do the same job side by side for five years. We pay the same income tax and national insurance.
We get made redundant. I can claim unemployment benefit. My former colleague cannot.
This is racist.
I’ve got a Croatian friend who has been in the UK since 2004. She married here & has brought up 2 kids. She runs a small business, pays her taxes and makes a positive contribution to her community. And Farage thinks it’s clever to threaten to deport her, does he? He can fuck off.
Abolishing ILR is a revolting proposal - particularly the threat to do so retrospectively.
A personal example: my wife, who has ILR & has studied, lived, worked here since 08 would be under threat of deportation. We have a son here. There are hundreds of thousands like us.
You guys are just desperate to find reasons why chappell roan is "problematic" but so far the reasons are just normal things like "you should form ur own political opinions instead of blindly following what celebrities think" and "even though i'm famous i still deserve respect
chappell roan speaks candidly for 30 seconds on the weird political standards we hold our celebrities to and the entire internet decides she’s never again using her voice to speak up for what’s right because now she’s just a privileged out of touch pop star
Instead of fucking around with ghibli, I dare these cunts to use disney properties in their AI. Let's do mickey mouse holding a Palestinian flag and see how quick laws will be enacted.
