“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

Susanna Reid, "Successive governments have failed to tell a positive story on immigration"

"We rely on immigration to run our public services, to grow our economy"

I wonder how much more of this shit can we let slip by, before it’s too late?🤔

Massive away win for the little fella.

This is unbelievable 🤦

So if it's a trade choice between:

a) chlorinated chicken, plastic cheese, nasty chocolate and

b) European food, beer & wine...

...I confess, I have a strong preference for the latter.
