All right now, for all you boppers out there in the big city, all you hard people with an ear for the action, I've been asked to relay a request from Mr Fox. It's a special for the hard men, that real live bunch made from the hard times, and I do mean the hard men. Here's a hit with them in mind. 🎶

The reaction to the riots and rejection of populist arguments at the ballot box are big steps towards being able to have a reasonable conversation about immigration. People saying otherwise are just upset that they won't be involved in the reasonable conversations.
