The Bear @bearlypolitics.co.uk

As a migrant to this country, I’d like to issue a formal apology for the pothole on your road. It was selfish of me to move here, personally prise up the tarmac, and weaken the A-roads with my foreign footsteps. I promise to do better - perhaps next week I’ll only destroy a minor B-road.

Rupert Lowe MP ≥ @RupertLowe10 x.com Our road network has been absolutely crippled by mass immigration.
