People are angry with this government

For many reasons, but the migrants are a major target of that anger due to crime and a perception that they are parasites. (At a time when living standards are dropping and taxation rates are rising).
This could get really rather nasty over the next few months, driving around the country I’ve noticed lots of Union flags and St George’s flags being put up as a protest.
Starmer and Co need to get to grips with this one soon or it will explode.
