🪬🧿 The fact flagshagging far right in the UK will not talk about #asylumseekers #benefitfraud #taxavoidance #inequality #politics #rhetoric #priorities #refugees

A brick wall has been written on with white chalk. The first line reads, "Asylum Seeker benefits cost UK £60m/year, equivalent to £2/year per taxpayer." The second line reads, "Benefit Fraud/Error costs £3 BILLION/year, £100/year per taxpayer." The third line reads, "Tax Avoidance costs £90 BILLION/year, £3000/year per taxpayer." The final line reads, "Why are the Right-Wing only screaming about the first one?" Above the brick wall is the lower portion of a brick building with a few windows.

A medium shot on a sunny day shows a woman on a beach holding a protest sign and high-fiving a police officer. The woman is on the left, facing right, with her right arm raised to meet the officer's hand. She is wearing a brightly colored, patterned top over an orange shirt and dark trousers. She has sunglasses perched on her head. The white sign she holds has blue text that reads "#PROTESTTRUMP2018" and below it, in larger letters, "TRUMP IS A CUNT."

The police officer is on the right, facing left, with his left arm raised to meet the woman's hand. He is wearing a dark polo shirt, black trousers, and a yellow high-visibility vest. He has sunglasses on and a checkered band on his police cap. Other police officers in similar uniforms are visible in the background, spread across the beach. The sea is visible behind them under a clear sky.

Farage wants to stop the boats, unless, it seems, they're megayachts youtu.be/cH7DKh1AqRI?... Farage says he’s for the people, but he’s part of the elite. His Britannia Card looks like a billionaire con trick, not a patriotic plan.

Maybe you think 'it will take decades' or 'they won't want us back' or 'petitions don't work', but if you believe deep down that our future lies within our closest trading block why not sign this anyway! You never know. If you don't ask you don't get. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
