In a vote that became about hate & fear v's love & hope, hate won. Like many immigrants waking up in Britain today, I'm not feeling the love.
My Independent article this week (below) unleashed a barrage of hate. Outrage at the temerity of suggesting that austerity, not immigration, is the cause of the shortage of school places, GP appointments and social housing. Immigrants didn't cause the global economic crisis & without our taxes the UK's debt would/will rise and, as for austerity? You ain't seen nothing yet.
Britain is broken. A piece of my heart is broken too.
