Amidst rising tensions over immigration and social policies, political figures are focusing on contentious issues such as the treatment of non-British nationals. Kemi Badenoch's imminent speech on restricting benefits exemplifies a divide between those labeled as makers and takers. The political environment feels increasingly hostile and polarized, reflecting a broader mistrust within the electorate. In contrast, events like Glastonbury showcase a different, more progressive and politically engaged atmosphere, challenging notions about the festival's role in contemporary discourse.
Kemi Badenoch was about to make a speech about restricting non-British nationals' access to disability and sickness benefits, another instalment of her toxic quest to divide people into makers and takers.
