It is incredible to think that prior to 2010 in the UK – there had been no food-banks. The rolling back of Socialism on all fronts is creating intense poverty – but chosen incoming groups (not all) are being perceived as receiving preferential treatment – leading to the strengthening of the far-right. The Labour government not only forcibly deported 600 Brazilians (I wasn’t even aware Brazilians lived here as incomers – with some reports stating the number returned to Brazil could be as high as 10,000) but removed (cancelled) the British citizenship of the children born in the UK – so that they could all be deported as families! This is how Kier Starmer dealt with the problem of what the far-right terms “anchor children” – or those children who gain British citizen by being born to incoming parents (not born in the UK). I suspect this is illegal – but it will probably take decades for this to be ruled as such – by which time nobody will be held accountable (like the illegal Iraq invasion of 2003).
