Tighten a hose (jubilee) clip or an exhaust clamp around the bottom of the pole or drill a hole through the pole and the swage and screw in a self tapping screw of a decent size.

drilling a hole through both and putting a screw in should sort that fella

The jubilee clip/hose clip/ exhaust clamp is a better solution than the drill hole and screw in reality as the clip tightens the whole whereas with the screw method if you get any wind movement eventually the hole will wear bigger and the screw gets loose but if you do do the screw method you need to screw in 2, opposite each other and one above the other, not inline.

The assumption is that you want to be able to take them down and put them back up again regularly..... if you're talking about a permanent install then get a proper single-piece pole for the job. No need to worry about wear/tear then

use self almalgamating tape and maybe also a screw.
