ONS figures on net migration into the UK show that the numbers in the year to June 2025 fell to 204,000 compared with the record of 944,000 to March 2023. You'd imagine this would be a huge cause for celebration among the millions of people who have been so concerned about the numbers.
You would imagine that if people are so concerned about immigration they'd be interested enough to check out the facts.
Bearing that in mind, can any of you explain why it is that when asked by pollsters 67% believe that the numbers have increased while the percentage of Reform voters who believe it has risen is 80%.
So again, can any of you explain why those people aren't interested in facts ? It appears that they simply believe what they believe and don't want facts getting in the way of those beliefs ?

Johnson & Co let more people into the country than 50 years worth of boats.
Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Well they are not actually, the most ardent Labour supporters are still blaming past governments for everything. Deluded springs to mind.

They all blame each other That is my point Blaming Johnson etc doesn’t wash This shower will see our country disintegrate without question Islam is what it’s about and it’s where the votes are It’s why Muslim cities are being targeted It’s why Powys won’t because few Muslims there
Blaming Johnson absolutely does wash. He threw open the gates to an extent that not even Blair did.
Most of the major problems we currently face as a nation can be laid at the feet of New Labour of course. I hope the architects of the damage done live long enough to face justice. However five Conservative Prime Ministers since then have done little to fix them.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Decent reply It does wash Johnson not alone It’s been going on for too long and Johnson was the one singled out on this thread

Blair did open the gates in his tenure , albiet with his Human Rights lawyer misses having a word to the good in his ear . Likewise another lawyer looking the other way in the hot seat looking the other way and denying everything , not my fault guv , the last lost screwed up on everything now wrong .

The decrease in overall numbers is good news, but there are also negative aspects. As well as higher emigration, the figures show:
Near-record number of irregular arrivals. Rising numbers of asylum family reunification visas. Fewer skilled worker visas.
The proportion of total arrivals likely to make a net fiscal contribution appears to be falling.
This Government blames the Welfare costs so out of control on us oldies drawing a State Pension and still working gladly as a drain on finances for Rachel to solve .
A bad back sick paper was an excuse for a week on the sick if I seem to remember but mental health and associated issues have overtaken all funding were these costs are going .
Reporting close to a million youngsters are NEET and need help for jobs here .

Two main reasons youngsters are finding it hard to get jobs. The rise in pension age means people are working longer and not freeing up jobs. Why not have a two tier retirement, 50% pension at 60 but only if you stop working and full pension at pensionable age. The other is the cost of employing youngsters in particular because they normally start on the minimum wage. Throw in NI, holiday pay and the new employment laws and businesses can't afford to carry staff like they used too (its very hard to get an apprenticeship). Now staffing levels are kept very tight and even then its hard to survive.

Do older workers cost an employer more ?

So your point #2 does not quite tie in with your "the cost of employing youngsters" analysis.
Clearly you know nothing about people working, how am I not surprised. Younger workers are often the ones you carry or take on apprenticeships, in the past you persevered and carried them for possibly long term gain for employee and employer. Employers I speak to regularly are reluctant to do this now because of costs.

In the areas of places I've worked there has been no 'carrying' of workers, so one has to wonder how common a practice is it.

STAGGERING! Thirty six Turkish barbers, fourteen vape shops, that is the high street in Accrington in Lancashire.
The Government don't care because that's fifty businesses that were previously empty shop fronts now paying rates, VAT and other assorted taxes.
If this was the US the local councils would be just as culpable as the criminals under RICO statutes.

Good to see hard working people are able to get a haircut on a Sunday these days. Even on a bank holiday Monday. It used to be almost impossible for people working 8 til 6 to get a haircut.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Boris might have worn a Conservative badge and been a posh public school boy but he is by a long long way the most liberal (small l) Prime Minister we have ever had.
Can’t think of one Conservative value he ever held. Maybe economically you could make an argument but that’s about it.
