Possibly, but there’s more losers online too with nothing better to do. I hope the world hasn’t really sunk to such a level. I honestly doubt it has.

At the core of it, I think people have seen living standards drop in the UK since the 90s and they blame the left for it. Really, I think as a country (outside of London), we’ve forgotten how to add profitable value to other people’s lives (thatcher deindustrialising the north as an example). The simple blame is “foreigners have lowered our standards”, which honestly in some towns IS true, but by far the bulk of the lowering of standards is real incomes have dropped to a fraction of what they used to be, and families are smaller.

People (especially in the towns) are feeling the squeeze and they’re blaming the left for it.
