I, for one, think that closeted racists getting their comeuppance is the height of comedy.

Rarely do we get to see such direct comeuppance for shitty behaviour

They still blame other people for "not thinking about people like us" though, which must be a coping mechanism

"Nobody explained or probably thought about people like ourselves.“

You didn’t think, either, dumbass. This is what happens when you live in an echo chamber and don’t even try to learn about the issues.

“There was nobody looking after it or telling us, they forgot about the people abroad."

Oh, the irony. You wanted to make immigration harder, and you were thinking about “people abroad” then. Don’t worry, Joe. You won’t be forgotten again. I’m sure people are sending you thoughts and prayers.
