Reform UKâs âBoriswaveâ: 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 â because who doesnât want a seismic immigration makeover to tackle the mysterious 'Boriswave'? The plot twist? 'Boriswave' isnât just Brexit breezes â itâs 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 âBoriswave,â then claim itâs just politics. Next up: banning âKarenwaveâ 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 UKâs policy pitch: If you canât catch an immigration narrative, create a âBoriswaveâ and surf the racism tsunami â fingers crossed no one reads the fine print.
