This new record beats the previous high of 947 in November 2022 and last year's peak of 872 on September 2.
Ian Collins speaks with political commentator Robert Taylor about whether immigration has fallen off the agenda as a major topic in the electoral campagin.

We still have all the problems we wanted fixing! Boris promised millions more every week for the NHS and would stop immigration. We are now at the highest figures on record for illegal/legal immigration. He was an utter buffoon. We are in dire straits & no one will address this madness because they will face the sanctimonious virtue signalling from the woke mobs.

[@Chris987-ew3qp]

Artificially increasing the population via mass migration ruins the environment and the economy (too many consumers chasing too few resources). After the Great Plague of the Middle Ages, which reduced the total population of Europe by a massive 1/3, living standards for the poor improved and workers were able to organize into trade unions for the first time ever! If the total population of Europe were comprised of only 1 million native Europeans, each European would enjoy an extremely high standard of living!

[@midgemagoo]

Not quite right my friend. The king at the time and the barons (the money men ) enforced a strict law which said that atrisans could NOT put their prices up for their work. The poor people were not allowed by law to put their prices up for their work. This was in the interest of the Barons and their farms. So in reality not much has changed, only now the Barons bring into this country cheap labour from abroad to depress the wages of the native Britons.

[@christinalayzelle832]

Yes! It is a priority,. So many things would be better if there were fewer people here.

My (Labour) MP told me that there is no such thing as an illegal immigrant. Everyone who sets foot in Britain without documentation or having gone through our Immigration Department, is an asylum seeker, fleeing tyranny and persecution or war or starvation, and it is the duty of Britain and every British taxpayer to accommodate them and give them a good standard of living.

This debate sounds like it was done here in Sweden 2010, UK must turn this ship around "no pun intended" if the UK want to be in the future an open secular society it must dramatically change the laws of what people can do within in the scoop of religion, UK must decide will be a state that has separation between state and church or will it become as before the enlightenment era where religion in this case most likely Islamism will be enforced on the people, with Sharia law, no freedom for women, Jews will be deported, gays killed or jailed for life, no pubs, no freedom of art or speech. Uk stands NOW at this crossroad and meanwhile several western countries have issued warning especially to gay men and Jews not to visit the UK and London in particular. Not in a million years would I have thought that the UK, the only nation in Europe standing free before the WW2 ended would be the first country in Europe to fall a "100 years later" never saw that coming. I hope the British people will wake up before it is to late and a more serious civil war breaks out than the proxy one that is going on now happens,
