Are we really going to drown in six inches of water? The central far right claim - that our problems are caused not by those with power and wealth but by utterly powerless people (asylum seekers etc) - is obviously and pathetically wrong. Yet millions, once more, are floundering in that puddle.

It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure. It's capital. The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.

I hear what you are saying. We owe them, they owe us nothing. We should be mindful that we don't project a human perspective onto that "two way flow". We know very little about non-human culture, expression and communication. It's so easy to see their world through our eyes, less so from theirs
