Because they want us to believe that immigrants are baaaad.
Because the English and Welsh would much rather die of cancer than be treated by a foreign doctor or nurse. Genius.
Can we just go back to being obsessed with potholes please?
Unsurprisingly Immigration most important to Reform UK voters. 84% of this group say it’s an important issue.
What is notable is that growing importance is more driven by increase among Labour & Conservative supporters!
Wrong to say it’s just an issue for Reform supporters.
I'd hazard a guess that concern with immigration directly correlates with the intensity of negative mainstream media airtime it receives.
That says so much about people taking part in the poll when education is at the bottom of the list
Little England, where the people would happily give up free health care so they can burn down a Holiday Inn and loot a Greggs.
Immigration as an issue (US, UK) goes up because it's the only issue all of mainstream/legacy media writes and talks about. Farage and Reform are the only thing GB News, as an example, ever broadcast in shameless, endless promotion.
Propaganda as effective now as it was with Goebbels.
