The political left get what they want: vacuous virtue signalling.
The political right get what they want: highlighting two tier justice and the unfairness of it all.
Us? Well our views clearly mean nothing. I'm deeply saddened that a country once considered one of the most liberal and welcoming has been reduced to this by politicians of all stripes taking the pee in regard to those tolerant values. Polite discourse requesting restraint on immigration has led nowhere and promises of immigration control have been broken spectacularly for over two decades.
It's now race to the bottom stuff, with a stagnating economy and rising unemployment, there's no bandwidth left to accommodate more and more migrants. Distributing them to the shires will engage an otherwise sleeping cohort of people, not ordinarily known for protesting.
Those old enough will recall the Poll Tax Riots and how it was intrinsic to the downfall of a tin eared government, too long in power to properly sense the mood of the nation. We're at that point again: the political class are talking to themselves, unwilling and probably unable to address the things that really matter to people. I can no longer bear to listen to them, hence my presence on X has diminished because I often can't bring myself to engage in the bs.
We slide steadily into more frequent, mass civil disobedience, and 'they' fiddle whilst Rome burns.
