Your agenda is anything but open and transparent.

He's only doing this so he can brag to business contacts in the states. He doesn't give two f***s about Travelers or immigrants.

I'd love to see all independents getting elected but unfortunately we have so many stupid people in this country who still vote for FG and FF religiously like they follow football teams.

There are immigrants who come here for benefits and immigrants from poorer countries have lower wage demands so, companies prefer them over natives. The UK is experiencing its highest wage growth in a decade because of a cheap eastern European labour is drying up since the referendum. People who parrot that phrase think they're being clever and witty, but they're just degrading themselves by showing their ignorance of the laws of supply and demand and lacking comprehension of people's arguments about immigration. The vast majority of people who complain about immigration can make the distinction between welfare tourists who come here for benefits and low wage immigrants from poorer countries who are responsible forwage stagnation due to their low wage demands.

And Casey's vote with have noting to do with the so called "anti-traveler sentiment" that's just more of the usual slurs and spin. It's pro ordinary law abiding people sentiment who are sick and tired of being told what to think, say and do by a patronising spinning media, who do not have their interests at heart.
