Isabel Oakeshott becoming an immigrant and refusing point blank to “integrate” into her new country is peak Anglo right-wing behaviour.
The level of hypocrisy is out of this world.
Note the standard British exceptionalist demand of labelling themselves “expats.”

No plan for more tax rises, says UK PM Starmer.
Wrong pledge.
Taxes need to rise on the rich, cut for the poor to reduce inequality.
Top 10% have 57% of the wealth, bottom 50% own less than 5%, poorest 10% have 0.02%.
Can't build good society on injustice.
