This sums it up. He only sees angry posts about migrant rapists - so he doesn't realise that the vast majority of rapists are not migrants.

"The politicians basically serve the rich, the wealthy, and their self-interest." Listen to this man in Nigel Farage's constituency.
Do Londoners remember this thing we used to have called “rain”?
Farage is a massive raging hypocrite who is trying to deflect from his £5 million gift from a foreign crypto billionaire. Pathetic
It’s such a blatant attempt to distract people from his donation scandals.
The UK has had rolling heatwaves. Nearly 3,000 are estimated to have been killed by them - so far. Half of England is in drought. Much of the south has had no significant rainfall for 33 days. And there's no sense of how serious this is - at all!! - from those in power?!
Why does Nigel Farage still command support in Clacton? Because its people have been robbed of hope. My column from Clacton 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
I’ve seen what can confound Farage on his home turf: optimism. People need a politics that offers them that | Owen Jones
You can’t blame his constituents in Clacton for their pessimism – because they have been let down for years, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Elon Musk isn't saving the West. He's helping to destroy the West: www.owenjones.news/p/elon-musk-...
This is exactly the opposite of what was supposed to happen.
The answer to hate is not more hate. This was a heinous attack on Berlin's LGBTQ+ people by a suspected ISIS terrorist. For British LGBTQ+ people, it evokes memories of the far-right Soho nail bomber. Both attackers wanted to turn entire communities against each other.
Trans people have been marginalised, demonised and attacked. Britain now has one of the worst records on trans rights in Europe. But they have so many allies who will never give up on them.
There’s a recurring problem here of Andy Burnham making promises that he either doesn’t understand, or has no intention of fulfilling, or both
I finally finished writing my book - and to celebrate, you can get it 25% off! @waterstones.bsky.social are doing a discount for THE FALL OF THE WEST - but only until 24th July! How the West has been plunged into crisis by greed, war, bigotry - and genocide 👇 www.waterstones.com/book/the-fal...
Wes Streeting has been made Defence Secretary. In his released correspondence with Peter Mandelson, he said: “Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes.” Journalists should ask him: 1) Does he stand by that? 2) What legal obligations does the UK therefore have?
Appointing John Healey as Chancellor is a big red flag. There's no evidence he supports any sort of transformative economic agenda. He does support hiking diverting money from the NHS, education and frontline services in favour of bombs, though!
50% of British voters think that Israel is committing genocide. Just 17% disagree. 55% think the UK should no longer consider Israel an ally. 15% think the UK should be an ally of Israel. That's the latest YouGov polling. Support for Israel is a fringe position in Britain.
You either act like Palestinian life has equal worth - or you don't.
