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.
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.
Peak Lemmy to be downvoted for this comment.
It has more upvotes than down, so it’s an improvement over Reddit I suppose…
