Reform UK’s ‘Boriswave’: When Racism Meets Immigration Policy Remix
In a move that screams 'hold my tea,' Reform UK decided that September needed spice by axing indefinite leave to remain — because who doesn’t want a seismic immigration makeover to tackle the mysterious 'Boriswave'? The plot twist? 'Boriswave' isn’t just Brexit breezes – it’s a racial nickname cooked up by the 'extremely online far right,' freshly dissected by digital politics brainiac Dr Robert Topinka when chatting with Helen Pidd. Picture this: a freshly coined far-right buzzword wrapped in a right-leaning Twitter meme, masquerading as policy justification while quietly moonwalking around racial dog whistles.

Only in 2025 can you rename immigration policy after an extremist meme, blame ‘Boriswave,’ then claim it’s just politics. Next up: banning ‘Karenwave’ to fix grocery checkouts.
The colossus of common sense: Reform UK uses a far-right racial slur as parliament-approved immigration jargon. Somewhere, irony is guffawing uncontrollably.
Reform UK’s policy pitch: If you can’t catch an immigration narrative, create a ‘Boriswave’ and surf the racism tsunami — fingers crossed no one reads the fine print.
