When you’re being smacked over the head with everything that’s wrong in your life is because of immigrants, it starts to set in.

Probably difference between the rate of immigration vs number of immigrants. Number of them is still rising.
Tories raise net immigration to 1 million per year: I sleep
Labour drops net immigration down to 200k per year: omg why is immigration so high under Labour
The tories managed to raise the percentage of immigrant's being illegal... By making it harder to enter the country legally.
doesn't make sense
I was surprised that two thirds of folk here think to be fair.
I gave up thinking years ago. I got bored of the smell of burning.
Why are we using a picture of illegal immigrants on small boats as a picture to represent a general story on immigration? This is extremely dishonest
a post-pandemic low
It's peak guardian to ignore that it's still higher than pre-pandemic, and not have a graph in the article. Then have a classic "the poors are dumb" headline https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration/bulletins/longterminternationalmigrationprovisional/yearendingjune2025
Peak Lemmy to be downvoted for this comment.
It has more upvotes than down, so it's an improvement over Reddit I suppose...
it's also peak guardian to claim we are "post-pandemic" as covid continues to run completely unchecked
Well not really. It ceases to be a pandemic and just becomes endemic at a point. Just like the flu. We don't say we're in a flu pandemic. Because it's normal at this point. It's endemic.
It should rise I always find it unbelievable how "anti-immigration" and "population decline" people overlap.
@theuniqueone @okwithmydecay I don't. The unspoken bit is always race. "I'm anti [brown] immigration and I'm worried about [white] population decline" are not incompatible.
