To be honest, I'm just tired of all the stuff I'm hearing here in the UK, about how the Reform party thinks we being "invaded" or flooded by illegal immigrants left, right and centre and yet people believe everything they say and say they will vote for them, without realising that some of their policies are not just cracking down on immigration, but also scrapping the NHS, doing away with certain benefits that many working people rely on and so forth. It's made me think maybe it's better we have the government we have now rather than a reform government though I'm not a fan of Keir starmer.

It also disturbs me that in America, they've got a group called ICE which is just arresting anyone they perceive as being an immigrant regardless whether they are illegal or legal. Me and my mum's partner were talking about it earlier today, and I told him when on my way to work I saw graffiti that said "F*** Reform F*** ICE and it made me kind of smile and then think yeah you tell them. The stuff going on there as well as the policies trump has about it including tariffs is surely making things worse not better. I'm not an American here so maybe I don't know the full story. Even like here in the UK, there are lots of people who agree with trump and even with what ICE is doing. When will people realise that getting rid of immigrants is detrimental to a country's economy which relies on them because by getting rid of them it makes countries poorer.

Poor people want those high paying jobs.

When I moved to New England I took one of the best jobs in the town.
An engineering job that let me design and make stuff.
