Population has grown 13M since 1990, of that approx 7M has been net migration and of those 7M the vast majority are needed to work in industries that support the population, health and welfare (the doctors and dentists that you want more of). We have an ageing population that needs immigration to make the system work. You flying a flag for a few months before it becomes tattered and torn will solve nothing.
I'm pointing out your talking of discourse sown by bots and politicians whilst at the same time believing discourse sown by bots and politicians. When I make a mistake I recognise it, you on the other hand can't see that you are doing what you criticise.
Labour have had just over 12 months with very little room to do anything and are trying to deal with problems that are being discussed - like the one you are discussing now. That's not a defence that's a reality.

Considering you couldn’t work out twice in one tiny thread I posted who posted what reply I wouldn’t be so quick to criticise others.
Labour are offering very little alternative to what Sunak offered, that’s a major reason that those on the extremes of political discourse have seized the narrative and Labour are left trying to do Bovby Davro style impressions of Tory and Reform rhetoric just in the forlorn hope they will attract those voters. It’s never going to happen and their is no alternative story being told for a better future under Labour.
