Brits started brexit because of too many immigrants, left the EU, twice as many migrants per year, Great success

Mad. It was mad when it was 250k and its mad when its 750k. 250k shouldnt be “normal” and shouldn’t be an achievement to get it back to those levels, despite what future governments are going to say.
EDIT: Mad that i couldnt go to my Grandfathers funeral in 2020 but 200k+ people could move here.
From fig. 3, it seems that the vast majority of non-EU immigrants are due to studies or work. The number of students (and dependents) have grown by around 250%, and workers by 600%
Why is the Y-Axis label „Annual Inflation, Percent“?
Also interesting that migration by British citizens has changed completely, from net emigration to almost 0 and or year of net immigration. Guess it’s simply because it’s harder to move to Europe now.
But I was told conservatives were hard on immigration and liberals let everyone in!
Lithuania flag 🇱🇹
This is what EUracism looks like.
We’ll know the real consequences of this in 10-20 years.
They wanted out of the EU, and the EU – out. That’s what they got. We’ll see how it would pan out.
Gee, I wonder why the Tories have been caned and Reform picked up far more voters than Labour…
Poles out
Pakis in
Well, they got the Eastern Europeans out of the UK. Mission accomplished?!? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m British, mixed race my mother is from the Philippines. My mother must have come after Blair relaxed Spousal visas, but they made it more difficult now. EU migrants often came but many left, most retired in their home countries. Now we get so many from India and Africa it will have huge consequences. It will enable the far right sadly, just as they wanted. I think many of these won’t want tor return to their home countries.
Exactly as planned.
If this graph is correct its hilarious. I would absolutely want to hear what politicians and brexiteers or russian shill Nigel Fartrage would say seeing this.
Now you see actual reason for Brexit. Will not go into detail. Average Redditor might not survive it.
Why is the y axis saying annual inflation percent? makes no sense…
It’s kind of funny how xenophobic Britons managed to kick us EU citizens out just to have more non-EU immigrants, which would probably be more bothering as they are not white as they think the world should be.
this is why uk is such a safe, clean place nowadays
Damn they sure took back control.. /s
It’d be interested to see what countries they came from, because clearly a good chunk of the non-EU migrants are Ukrainian and I’m guessing Hong Kongers are make up another decent chunk.
Thanks for the graph, which illustrates things excellently. I sincerely hope that our new government gets a grip on this soon, otherwise we will have a Reform government in 2029, and I can guarantee that no one really wants that – either in the UK or in Europe.
It’s just ridiculous though, the high level of immigration has been sustained for years, and was only ever going to end in one way. Increasing things substantially to historic levels is self harming taken to an extreme level. We are now facing truly exceptional levels of immigration. There are some half hearted attempts to justify it, but the honest thing is the only time we have seen such levels of immigration is literal invasions. This sort of level has never ended well, and it really does need to stop.
191,000 of the non-EU immigration since 2021 have been Hong Kongers, and 169,000 since 2022 have been Ukrainians.
Colin from Portsmouth is absolutely disgusted.

This chart can’t possibly be accurate. Either the counting methodology changed or numbers are being changed somewhere in the pipeline. It barely accounts for covid, and although EU migration went down it’s still happening.
Oh that control we took back looks amazing…
Oh you guys are doomed. Good luck.
Bringing cultures to Europe in such a **massive amount** with such different views on women and lgbt+ rights is a threat to our society. That’s actually funny women and lgbt are voting for pro-immigration policies.
I’d show this to my colleagues that just voted reform, but it’s seriously damaging my mental health having to talk to them at all right now.
