      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

      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.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
