So sick of the ‘anti foreign’ rhetoric. #Refugees. #International #Students. #NHS staff. Every vote they think they’re winning by this is a vote based on lies and won’t last. They can’t turn back time. The #UK is stronger for its #diversity and weaker for its prejudice. Division is cheap and dirty politics. Always has been, always will be.

I remember going back home and visiting my grandma.

She said something something derogatory about immigrants.

I said "nana, I'm an immigrant now".

The following discussion completely changed her mind.

@Eric0Lawton @nisreen Astounding to me how my some of my relatives who are themselves immigrants or first generation from immigrant parents can denounce and use derogatory names about other relatives who are new immigrants or first generation, even from the same country/region. I tell them, what are you, royalty because you were here five minutes long?! I mean, come on.
