Residents only
It has become clear enough and has been said before, but a core aim of woke politics is to bury the idea of national citizenship. In woke world we are residents not citizens.
Here in the UK, it doesn’t matter if your genetic inheritance shows your ancestry going back over a thousand years. In woke world you are merely a UK resident with no more moral right to be here than the next boatload of migrants.
It doesn’t matter if you have paid UK taxes for fifty years, if your parents paid UK taxes for fifty years, if your grandparents paid UK taxes for fifty years. In woke world you are merely a UK resident with no more moral right to be here than migrants.
Not that this is admitted officially, but this is a consequence of woke politics. For all the hot air, the issue seems to have been an underlying factor in Donald Trump’s popularity. Many American citizens wish to remain as American citizens, including those with ancestors who didn’t actually come over on the Mayflower. They expect to be more than mere residents. Here in the UK, that ship has sailed.

Excellent post; which, as usual, means the sort of post which would be taken down if they had the means to do so.
The ship may have sailed, but with Brexit and a Borisian concentration on swamp draining rather than greenery, we might get it to turn around and return to port.
Residents become the 'proles' when the reds start getting nasty.
Luckily, it won't happen here, Joe Corrybin saw to that exactly a year ago!
Sam - thanks and yes we'll soon know about Boris and Brexit, but he doesn't give me much confidence. Ann Widdecombe has described him as a chaotic person who needs organising. Much of what we see does feel like the influence of conformist voices in his ear.
Scrobs - I hope you are right although to my mind Corbyn should never have been an MP.
