@sp-lash.bsky.socialThank you for acknowledging that even if we disagree. I’m sorry if I was a bit shirty. Slightly sensitive subject, for me at least.
Show PostAs I say, small boats are clearly the most salient aspect and that isn’t surprising, people really don’t like the idea that the gov can’t control the border.
Show PostI think that’s a plausible reading, but alternatively you could say “the real concern is that it didn’t jump to 900k and then fall back to 200k or less. It’s still running at way above average and maybe this is the long term trend”
Show PostIt wouldn’t be inconsistent for someone who is upset at net migration going to 800k from 200k to say 400k is still too high.
Show PostWhile I would agree that if small boats crossings stopped tomorrow the issue would clearly diminish, it’s also true that the 2024 net figures are substantially higher than even recent the historical average.
