"After parents being told by schools to fill in forms to identify their kids as 'foreign born', the home office suggesting firms should keep a tally of non Brit employees, HMRC cutting off online tax returns unless you have a UK passport and landlords being threatened with imprisonment for renting to unregistered 'foreigners' I simply don't recognise my country any more!
It's more like China or North Korea than what used to be Great Britain.
I want MY country back!"
To be fair, these things may not be unprecedented, but they mark a very different Britain than the Open Britain my friend was used HIS Britain to be.
He is a liberal democrat, of course.
