I don’t know shit about politics. All I know is that in the UK the Labour party won, and the Conservative party lost.

I read some protestors are protesting against racism. What is this about? Protesting against new party that just won? I thought the Labour party was left-wing, meaning they are more on the social-equality side? I’m lost.

    They seem to not want immigrants. And I suspect “immigrant” means “doesn’t look like me”. In other words, it’s just “they took are jerbs!”

    The make-up and mindset of the citizenry doesn’t change just because the government changes.

      It’s a small minority from the far right rioting, with massive counter-protests. You’re trying to say the whole population is rotten based on a few negative examples, which ironically is just what the racists are doing themselves.

        I’m not trying to say that. I’ve no idea why you think I am.

          I think that because you’re attributing those views to “the citizenry”. I can only go on the words you’ve used, and you’ve used a word that describes the whole country’s population, not a small minority.

            I haven’t attributed anything to the citizenry. I wrote two distinct paragraphs, only one of which contained the word “citizenry”.
