  What people are actually angry about is the poverty we're all going through right now. Fix the poverty, and the racism will fix itself.

  The Guardian consistently presents migrants and asylum seekers in a highly sympathetic light, the way they frame stuff can oversimplify complex policy issues, painting all migration as inherently positive or humanitarian, while dismissing valid concerns about social cohesion, housing, or security.

  Nigel Farage promised more money for workers, <br> and extra funding for the NHS if people voted for Brexit. <br>Now, with the BREXIT Tree bearing its fruits as cost-of-living crisis hits hard. <br>As the saying goes: <br>“Fool me once, shame on you. <br>Fool me twice, shame on me.” <br>Will the same people be fooled again?

  While the general public are preoccupied over skin colour and culture, the elites continue to get rich and bring in laws preventing you from getting a better life.

  &quot;Good people don&apos;t make the news&quot; very true. But then the news only reports what people want to hear.

  We need more facts and less divisive hate. Well done for making some reality accessible.

  Luton is an absolute failure of a town.

  Vulnerable people are easy to exploit, and as a Lutonian Its so frustrating to see the town sold off to faceless investors who&apos;s contributions won&apos;t really help our most vulnerable.

  I watched this video to try and get an alternative perspective on the issues described by Tommy Robinson in Luton. &nbsp;I appreciate the work of the journalist Taj for providing this perspective but remain sceptical. &nbsp;I have lived in numerous working class &nbsp;UK towns with large migrant communities and can form an opinion based on those experiences.
