Because of the inhumane, xenophobic and despicable migration policies in place to stop them coming in.
Thank you for proving my point.

@neiloport @SurreyStandards @BingoDemagogue @EstefanoWorth @2351onthelist I am happy for you to have your own opinion.
When it comes to accusing me of hating your country, I am asking you to provide evidence that I do because, of course, I don’t.

@neiloport @SurreyStandards @BingoDemagogue @EstefanoWorth @2351onthelist Not only you tweeted at me: “I'm voicing my opinion on another foreign citizen that hates our country” but you have just repeated your accusation by tweeting that I hate your country.
Is it something I said?
Any evidence that I do?

@SurreyStandards @BingoDemagogue @EstefanoWorth @2351onthelist There is no flag shagging commitment to division in my name, bio & TL.
I have flags after my name and what?
I was not a candidate for a racist party. Not only I don’t associate with racists but the t-shirt I am wearing would irritate many racists.
Now, is it anything I said?

What is it you don’t like about this particular politician, that she is a woman or something else?
