Keir Starmer has quite rightly been getting a kicking for his comment that Britain risks becoming an 'island of strangers' due to immigration although two people backing him was Nigel Farage of Reform and Kemi Badenoch of the Conservative Party.
As soon as Keir had finished, Kemi was on Social Media explaining that under her leadership she would have been a lot nastier to immigrants, we can only hope that she might be so strict that she may even deport herself. Fingers crossed.
Farage, the non thinking man's racist, when down the usual route of damn cheek of them foreigners coming over here, working for the NHS and paying their taxes. Whatever next?
While Keir may be doing some weird lurch in to a level of nastiness about immigrants that had always been the preserve of the racist right wing, a series of Labour MPs have stepped out to criticise Starmer for his rhetoric which is an echo of language used by Enoch Powell in his infamous 1968 'rivers of blood' speech.
Nobody has yet explained what would happen if foreigners stopped coming over here to do jobs us Britons refuse to do, leave the job vacancies unfilled possibly as they consider it better that our care homes and hospitals are understaffed than fully staffed with the wrong people?
Keir even started his lousy speech with: 'It’s time to take back control' but failed to mention that it is his Government that had out the work visas, so exactly who he wants to take back control from is a bit of a head scratcher.
Anyway, unless being British is all about feeling mistrustful, overlooked, isolated, powerless, and petrified of 'losing our identity’, i don't recognise it but i do recognise ugly nationalist politics and ugly nationalist politics where misguided souls cling to their national flag and look back to a better time when they will tell you that Britain was supposedly better, allegedly friendlier and purportedly more peaceful but certainly more white.

what is your point?
PS - your post reveals how little you, like marx, understand human nature.
1. people that come to the uk do so because they think it is better than where they came from
2. but, soon after they arrive, they want to make the uk more like the place they came from - ironic no...
3. however, people from the uk don't want the uk to become like other places... duh
4. every generation of humans wants to change the world they inherited, but only so much - there are significant limits
5. it is better for the uk when immigrants become "british" instead of expecting brits to become something else (arabic, syrian, "palestinian", indian, pakistani, et al) because without a lot of luck, the uk will decline as it becomes less the sparkling jewel that attracted people, and more like the sorry places they left...
Spoken like a true Trump supporter.
I don’t support Trump. But ok
