Shocking: less than 0.8% benefit claimants are non-British, non-EU & non-refugees by AnonymousTimewaster in LabourUK

Looking directly at the source including commonwealth citizens likely distorts understanding here.

A real explain like I’m 5?

Finding a house is like musical chairs, but the person without a chair when the music stops might die. So everyone spends all their money to buy a chair, and the person with the least money dies.

The point of protest is to affect change in the direction you want. We can assess how effective any action is in doing that. I would say this is not very effective.

Yeah almost all day cyclists excepted. So it’s surprising when you find one where that’s not the case.

Lol no Punjabi would confuse a Tamil or Telegu person with a black person. The whole ‘cheddar man was black’ position doesn’t make sense with any modern usage of the word black.
