    Which was extra dumb when you learn that the UK was never part of the open-border Schengen Zone in the first place, bc the EU allowed them to have an opt-out. So they had strict border & visa controls the entire time they were fear-mongering illegal middle eastern refugees coming in from the rest of the EU

    And like in the 2015 EU Refugee Crisis, Germany received over 2 million migrants in a single year, while the UK only received 1/3 of a million, and the large majority of the UK’s weren’t even from the middle east!

      I specifically remember that Farage’s original targets were Poles, Romanians, and other Eastern European people. He is doing the exact same grift except against a different group now.
