A listener on an LBC radio program expressed complaints about immigrants. Complaining about the high number of immigrants, the listener said he and his wife had to wait six hours at the hospital, attributing this to the immigrants.
He concluded by saying he himself was an immigrant.
In the recent local elections, a significant number of immigrants voted for ReformUK, a party hostile to immigrants. They voted knowing that Nigel Farage and his team were their enemies. While there’s no definitive explanation yet, we have been able to find one.
Let’s go back to before Brexit. At that time, Nigel Farage said that Brexit would make the country’s borders more secure and that the money we paid to the EU would now be used for internal problems. He and former Prime Minister Boris Johnson misled the public, essentially lying. After Brexit, both the number of immigrants increased uncontrollably and the economy plummeted.
The same thing is happening again today, and this time immigrants have once again voted for an anti-immigrant party. The reason is this:
Immigrants who voted for Brexit essentially thought, ‘If EU citizens return to their home countries, the council housing they occupy will directly belong to them. Councils will give these vacant houses to applicants. A significant number of those who didn’t receive benefits will apply again, and this time they will be told ‘Yes’.’
So, their issue was actually selfishness. They particularly hated Eastern European citizens and thought they were usurping their rights. That’s why they said yes to Brexit.
Immigrant hostility has become the number one fear among immigrant British citizens. Again, their selfishness is at the forefront. They see the ever-increasing number of immigrants as jeopardizing their interests and believe that the reason for the decreasing benefits is the privileges given to these immigrants.
If new immigrants didn’t come, applications for council housing would be processed faster, and there would be no need to reduce benefits.
So, it’s hidden in selfishness. The increasing number of immigrants frightens them, that’s why…
Meanwhile, here’s some more good news. According to new Home Office data, 171,000 more people immigrated to the UK last year; almost half the number projected for 2024.
This figure is the lowest since 2012; however, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said “there is still much to be done”.
The data also reveals that 93,525 people will apply for asylum in the UK in the year leading up to March 2026; a 12% decrease from the previous year, but more than double the number just before the pandemic.
