    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

  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.

  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

      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.

  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.
