Anyway, my point is, that journalists like Tom Harwood and various right wing grifters are all like "this is a lie and isn't a thing in the UK!" when in actual fact, they are just certain they are right because they actually haven't bothered to look. Or maybe don't want to believe its true. Or know its true and want to pretend its not. Pick one.
Reminds me of my home-counties dwelling Dad who scoffed when I mentioned children living in poverty in the UK - "There ARE no children in poverty in the UK!"

A good example of this is the pearl clutching over Trevor Noah's comments about Rishi Sunak.
Loads of right wing commentators saying that Sunak doesn't face significant racism in the UK.
However, those who pay attention to these sorts of things will know that the Great Replacement Theory is gaining traction in the UK and is popping up all over Twitter and Facebook. You only have to look at the comments/replies to any tweet about Diane Abbot and Sadiq Khan to see examples.
