    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.

  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 www.ons.gov.uk/…/yearendingjune2025

      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.

  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

  It should rise I always find it unbelievable how “anti-immigration” and “population decline” people overlap.
