Douglas Murray recently expressed deep concerns about how the UK government and society at large view and treat working-class people, particularly when they speak out about immigration. He pointed out that if someone like a "Tommy Robinson character," who grew up in a place like Luton, faces numerous disadvantages in life, and happens to be white and working-class, they're met with strict limitations.
"What are you allowed to do about this?" Murray asked, highlighting the dilemma faced by such individuals. "What are you allowed to say about any of this?" For decades now, according to Murray, the government's attitude has been clear: "You're not allowed to do anything, you're not allowed to say anything." He argues that any attempt by the working class to voice concerns about immigration is swiftly met with accusations of racism and far-right sympathies.
Murray's comments shed light on what he sees as a broader societal issue—where expressing concerns, particularly on immigration, is increasingly stigmatized, especially for those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
