My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

But it's Government policy which is causing this...
"...BBC Radio 4's File on Four found asylum seekers were being issued with a bus pass for one return journey per week. For other necessary travel, like doctor's appointments, taxis were used."
Extend the free bus pass to, maybe, 2 journeys?

There is not the faintest indication that cows, pigs, or chickens suffer less than dogs, cats, or people. A fair and cautious mind should take it for granted that their pain is just as real.

At some point, surely, the penny will drop with the British people and they will realise that it is rich people who have all their money, and not immigrants, refugees, sick people, disabled people, unemployed people, trans people, single mothers, black and Asian people, gypsies, jews, or witches.
