#fed up of racist dickheads who don't know shit

All of this absolute debauchery kicking off in the UK right now with the far-right protests against immigrants leading to utter carnage is honestly sickening. It's also laughable. Why? The percentage of English people who are here because of historic immigration is HUGE.

Let's take your humble author here, for example. I'm here because of one of the most famous examples of historic immigration. My ancestors on my mother's side were Viking. They were the fellas who sailed their longships up the Seine and clouted the utter living shit out of Paris over a thousand years ago, eventually invading and then settling. Generations later, those ancestors settled in Ireland, and then my family moved here. Does that mean I shouldn't be here, because my roots are Norse?

Ahh, no. Because my ancestral family were white invaders, of course. Those boats? Absolutely fine. Boats containing brown people? Not so much. Do the far right see how silly it is when they have this distinction pointed out to them, though? Nope. It isn't like the Vikings asked nicely either. In Layman's terms, it went something like this -

"We like it here. We're staying."

"Oh, no you are not! Shoo! Away with you, Northmen!"

"Nah. Tell you what, we'll fight you for it."

Refugees are here because their homelands have been war-torn to the point where they cannot safely remain, in areas destabilised by our military. They are here begging for our mercy, to integrate into our society and be allowed the simple luxury of living without fear. To raise their children in safety. We made these people homeless, and now we reject them. Now the hard right uses them as the scapegoats for why our society is crumbling, instead of blaming the real cause. The stupidity and willful ignorance are honestly shocking, but that's exactly what the politicians and media at large who whipped up this frenzy in the first place were always banking on. Blame brown people and they won't see who the real cause is.
