Braverman has the gall to say that "small boats" is the priority for majority of British people. Have I got news for her. It isn't, The priority for the majority of the British people is to sort out the shit show that passes for the economy that the so -called party of "fiscal prudence" has been responsible for, for the last 13years. And we haven't even touched on Brexit, the financial wrongdoings over Covid, etc....

@autumngirl27 I think it is used as a distraction...
@SW-User Of course it is. If there werent boat people, it would be another group of people being blamed and scapegoated. Disabled people, single mothers, "delinquent teens", etc. Tories and their right wing buddies love a scapegoat. They are so experienced and expert at gaslighting

@autumngirl27 broken families do destroy nations, though. And people who abuse their health and then claim 'free' healthcare paid for by the productive do destroy nations. Nothing to do with making them a 'scapegoat', they do cause problems.
@pianoplayingsteve I come from what you would dismiss as a "broken" family. . My so-called father was a total waste of space when he was there and when he left when I was12, Mum was on her own. She brought up my brother and me. Now my brother is a middle manager at a local council and I am a half-owner in a cleaning business. Mum taught us about how to be decent people. I know loads of "families" who have the "advantage" of both parents who haven't turned out anywhere near as well. So you will see from my own experience that when you say "broken families destroy countries", I can tell you you are totally wrong. The ones who destroy countries are the ones who preach one thing to the people and do the opposite themselves. Like the ones who dress up in expensive clothes, effect a "posh" accent and fleece the country for all it's got, then make sure they don't pay the tax they should be paying. Just because they are so greedy for money. And when these same people say "stop the boats" "stop single parents", etc, they are scapegoating and gaslighting. Nothing more, nothing less.
