When Helicopter Moms Are Worse Than Whatever The Refugees Escaped From
I work in politics, taking calls from the constituents of our MP (Member of Parliament). Our MP has recently won an election. I take a call from an angry woman.
Caller: “I’m never going to vote for you again!”
Me: “I’m sorry to hear that, madam. Can I ask why you have changed your mind?”
Caller: “Because [MP] voted yes to bringing in a whole lot of refugees! I saw them on the news! They’re all men!”
Me: “Well, I don’t know what news channel you watch, but—”
Caller: “You don’t understand! It’s too many new men! My son still lives with me! He’s thirty years old and he already can’t get a date!”
Me: “I… am sorry to hear that.”
Caller: “You tell [MP] that as long as my son is single, she won’t get my vote!” *Click*
Yes, I’ll be sure she includes that as an urgent item on her next manifesto.
