Rich Countries Discover Immigration, Still Puzzled By 'Why'
The Financial Times (FT) offers an insightful-yet-somehow-blind analysis of why 'small boats won't stop,' exploring complex routes and humanitarian crises. What it subtly omits, however, is the direct causal link between Western foreign policy—often involving military interventions and proxy wars—and the displacement of millions. It’s almost as if the FT believes these people simply woke up one
day, chose a leaky dinghy, and decided to visit Kent for the seafood. Perhaps the FT could assign a team to investigate the countries from which these migrants are fleeing. Coincidentally, many share a history of destabilization following interventions championed by various P5 nations, whose weapons manufacturers, *gasp*, often advertise in outlets like the FT. The 'small boat' problem, it seems,
isn't about the boats, but the oceans of chaos created by those who now feign surprise. One might wonder if the 'solutions' proposed involve fewer bombs, or just bigger fences.
