Well clearly they’re hurt. Low income, high cost of living, high rent, the NHS is overwhelmed, impossible to find affordable living space, stuff like that. I think even Lemmy would agree that no one is doing well.
The thought is that it’s intentional, that the politicians are deliberately importing cheap labor and deliberately failing to protect domestic industry. Which imo, probably is.
The migrants are just pawns, but they’re much more accessible and seen as a symbol of the new awful British way.
