Fifteen years of ideological choices to strangle & gut the public realm - NHS to schools to social services to local museums - is what underlies the anger "tearing our country apart"; immigration is simply the scapegoat that the far right are pushing people toward.

When you behave as if the current UK asylum & refugee situation is normal or unavoidable, you are completely failing to understand that the Tory party literally made it happen, on purpose. Not just in the broad sense of Brexiting us, but in actually breaking the existing asylum process.
Remember, always, that the post-Brexit-vote Tory government, and specifically Home Secretary Sajid Javid, deliberately and with malice aforethought reduced to almost zero the timely processing of asylum claims in the UK. They literally created the "overwhelming backlog" that traps people in hotels.

In 2014, 87% of asylum claims were processed within 6 months.
At the start of 2017, that figure was still 70%.
By late 2018 it was 26%.
