More nauseous xmas food opinions as they come in...

By the way everyone, what right-wing politicians say about immigrants is literally also what they believe about you.

You having an ordinary job is a kind of favour your generous employer and the nation has done you, allowing you to reproduce your existence despite not being AN ENTREPRENEUR
