Seriously?
I don't think a single article in The Telegraph and some kunley_drukpa-adjacent Twitter chatter makes this term a thing. Immigration to the United Kingdom is a totally decent article that does everything this page does, except sans the snazzy Twitter terminology...and if you're unhappy with it, then just edit that article.

- Quite agree. The article should be deleted. John Smith's (talk) 13:35, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
- Reputable sites I found using the terminology:
- https://www.adamsmith.org/blog/britains-ilr-emergency
- https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/10/19/britain-must-kick-its-addiction-to-migration-led-growth/
- https://conservativehome.com/2024/12/12/sam-bidwell-the-immigration-slow-motion-car-crash-that-is-coming-and-how-to-stop-it/
- I think it's entering the lexicon. Maybe the renaming of the 'Brexit and COVID' section of https://en.wikipedia.org/Modern_immigration_to_the_United_Kingdom to 'Boriswave' would be better? 2A02:C7C:7CCC:7A00:C862:50D2:90F7:AD5E (talk) 13:39, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, and I'm sure the intent is to help drive it into the lexicon via things like this page. John Smith's (talk) 13:46, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
