alt Hacker NewsI find it crazy how the establishment will consider absolutely anything other than that Brits are legitimately fed up with immigration.

There's being fed up with something and there's fomenting civil war. The huge wave of immigration, which has since subsided, happened under the Tories.
Who/what is the "establishment"?
If they are fed up with immigration they are stupid. “Gee we have declining birth rates and we want to deny this pool of labor that might correct course because they are brown.” The american empire was built on easy immigration. Turns out the tired and poor that we took in can build empires and win europe’s major wars for them.
That seems like an inadequate explanation of why Elon Musk, who is not a Brit, is investing so much time and energy into this issue.
Imagine the irony of Northern Ireland getting mad over immigration.

New genocide hot take on HN: has anyone considered maybe it’s the $VICTIMS that's the problem! Wow I’m so freaking smart.
"No, the problem isn't our policies. Big tech is the problem!"
As a brit, I can confirm I am not at all fed up with immigration.
Your comment is unnecessary, unsubstantiated, doesn't add anything to the discussion and is just going to cause arguments in its current form.
You mean the made up idea of immigration as a problem? Sure.
What Brits probably want more is to rejoin the EU, get back some leverage on the world scene and dig themselves our of the brexit hole
Immigration has dramatically gone down in the past few years.

I think the real problem people are having is that a large amount of those immigrants are now no longer from the EU. But you have Brexit to blame for that.
