Since Twitter has been bought by Elon Musk, my feed has been filled with the Far Right as opposed to those I actually want to follow.
A common theme which is tweeted on far too frequent as basis is the desire to deport foreign criminals. This leads to what is a foreign criminal. Not that he is a criminal, Boris Johnson was born in New York, so is he foreign born? King Charles had a father who was known as Phil The Greek due to his place of birth and a lot of his mother’s side of the family have German blood. Mo Farah, one of the greats of British Athletics, was not born in Britain and has no ‘blood link’ to our great nation. I consider him to be British and was proud to have him representing our nation.
I am not saying that foreign nationals should not be deported, I am just expressing concern about how people not accepting that this is already taking place may want this to end. After all, we have seen what can happen when people start calling for measures to encourage racial purity.
