The country felt obligated after getting involved in HK and Boris's charge of the light brigade venture so two of those years were skewed, but yeah the difficulty of melding people together is an issue, it's obviously someone's decision,wonder if the place this all gets planned in Davos every January?

That’s not really true. Boris won the 2019 GE by a massive landslide and therefore a massive mandate. Part of their manifesto was to change immigration requirements post Brexit to what let in so many people in. Side stepping all that people didn’t know what they voted argument I think the truth is Boris and his advisers didn’t have a clue what they were doing and what their policies actually meant in real terms. Just think how much worse those figures from 2020 onwards would have been had Covid not landed curbing mobility. It should be a lesson on trusting politicians, especially those with word salad slogans offering dumbed down solutions to complicated problems.

I call bullshit. This is what they said. Some quotes from their manifesto.

"A future, where national, border, energy and food security are put first, not taken for granted, and immigration is never allowed to run out of control.

The alternative is we go back to square one. To a fragile economy under Labour driven by unfunded spending, higher taxes on working families and debt piling up for future generations to pay of. And where immigration, crime and defence are not taken seriously.

On 4 July, choose lower immigration, lower taxes and protected pensions. Choose a secure future with the Conservatives."
