Right, and now UK voters are increasingly opposed to immigration from India, Nigeria, and China. The UK government allowed a large increase in legal immigration, particularly to find more elder care workers. But that appears to be causing a backlash.

Certainly an interesting source of cognitive dissonance. Few would admit it, but in practice I can see many people feeling more strongly about foreigners than humane care for the elderly (we've alredy done a good job at putting them out of sight, out of mind!)


Maybe the UK voters are idiots who dont learn from their mistakes?
