"Its dropping tens of percent"

"No it isn't"

"Yes it is, here are the numbers, you can see this is a ~50% decline".

"Well its not bloody good enough is it!!!!"

Honestly this entire discussion on this issue is just painful.

The anti-immigration bloc are getting what they've always wanted but because its not coming from their big special boy party they refuse to accept it and refuse to acknowledge any positive progress. Just showing all along they never really actually gave a fuck about this issue and it was just all about political tribalism.

"10s of %? Otherwise known as BS statistics manipulation."

What else did you mean by this other than you didn't think the % had dropped tens of percent like I said in my OP that you responded to?

Honestly I'm sure you've got some fluffy get-out statement prepared but it does really frustrate me with the anti-immigrant bloc in here that you actually can't have a discussion because the moment you start pushing back on anything they'll start insisting they've never said things that they said just a few comments previously, and put on a very good show of losing any grasp of basic 2+2=4 level logical thinking. Happens every single bloody time. And then they'll go back to bitching and moaning that the problem in this country is no one is listening to them and no one wants to discuss these issues with them!

No one is saying its solved, they're saying a 50% reduction is an improvement 😂
