DARK SECRETS: The immigration problem that really concerns me us celebrities | Vintage Vibes

With September around the corner, this feels the right time to admit how I’ve spent the summer: tracking the invasion of foreigners to Britain. Tempted by our culture and a stable democracy, swathes of immigrants are coming here for a new life. While the rest of us toil at work and struggle to get on the housing ladder, many “foreign nationals” are enjoying luxury accommodation and hanging out idly in the streets. Still, it’s nice that Ellen DeGeneres has found happiness in the Cotswolds now that her chatshow has ended.

Having relocated from the US after Donald Trump’s re-election last year, Degeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have spent the summer effectively doing full-time English cosplay. In recent weeks, DeGeneres has shared with her 135 million Instagram followers such idyllic countryside pastimes as: buying sheep, riding a horse, mowing grass, the sheep escaping, naming a chicken Linda, taking a dog to the pub, and the sheep escaping again.
