And it got worst, for 14 years, under the Tories.
The party that had Saint Thatcher back in 79-90, when the overwhelming majority was local White, became the party of free money for immigrants and smuggling them in during lock-downs.
True, specifically Pakis and Jamaicans most of all. The UK has always been a "microcosm" of future America. Whatever happens there seems to take hold here a decade or so later, which is beyond scary seeing as they are 100% a police state today.
Thatcher is praised for her economic policies, but those policies were almost exclusively the product of (((Milton Friedman))), which brought rampant inflation, income equality, and the highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression. And the UK has never really recovered from any of it. Taxes were raised through privatization, but none of that money was reinvested back into infrastructure. Those policies also gutted Britain's industry to convert it into another bullshit "service economy."
I can't help but think that shutting down the UK coal mines in 84 had the same actual motivations as zero carbon, shutting down the water and farms today. What changed was the excuses.
"Close a pit, kill a community" Was the objective.
