The Spin

Left narrative

A billionaire who fled to Monaco to dodge billions in taxes now scapegoats immigrants for Britain's crumbling services. The real parasites aren't arriving by dinghy but by private jet, hoarding wealth while the NHS and schools collapse. Britain's own history makes complaints about being colonized laughably hypocritical.

Right narrative

Mass immigration has fundamentally transformed British communities, with a million residents unable to speak English and entire neighborhoods unrecognizably changed. Despite woke backlash, figures like Ratcliffe are finally speaking truth about immigration's impact, questioning whether new arrivals contribute economically while rejecting incompatible legal systems like sharia law.
