It would also have the knock on effect of screwing their credit score so if they can get a cc or a loan, far higher interest rates and that tqkes at least 5 years to rectify.

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works: 1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.๐งต

Something everyone needs to realise whether you're left, right, centrist or whatever is you may oppose 99% of what someone says but they are not always wrong. This opposing someone for the sake of it is allowing #fascism to march.
