You will find that those who have a weak argument against a point of view will resort to name calling...virtue signalling, whatever you want to call it.
Call someone'racist' or 'homophobic' or 'islamophobic' shuts down any meaningful discussion very quickly and lets the one who is doing the name calling off the hook...it is calculated to do just that.
The history of the school holidays in September, was so that everyone could help out with harvesting.
Whole families would head out of their city homes into the country to fruit pick.
It was a way of them getting a paid holiday(jobs did not come with holiday pay) and it was a time for families to have social time together...yes, they worked hard, but they also had fun too.
Londoners used to head off to Kent to farms where they got lots of fresh air good wholesome food and they all enjoyed themselves.
In later years it was students who did a lot of this work.
We do need some immigration, but not in the volumes that was encouraged by TB's Labour government.
That level was on a par with social engineering and it was done with no real thought about long term impact or consequences...other than securing a firm Labour voting base...that is unless you subscribe to the Coudenhove-Kalergi plan.
