Starmer has turned it around a bit, but still massive.
Say no to far-right charlatans.

And the number of Brits and Europeans leaving Britain doubled as well.

Theres roughly as many Indians living in the UK as there is welsh people (2m each)
The amount of people born in the Indian subcontinent now living in the UK is 3.6 million

Brexit was the dumbest political mistake ever.
Right wingers, Russia, USA…. all influenced for it to harm Europe as a whole.

When Farage, who was a major spokesperson for Leave, won, he stepped down from UKIP and pretty much went radio silent.
And now he’s back again spouting the same rhetoric that led to a worsening of the „problem“ he claimed to be solving.

It was probably the Swiss and the Norwegians

Fucked us with Brexit then did this. Unbelievable the amount of hate starmer gets compared to how little they got at the time
Having no EU immigration now is depressing. So much better than non EU overall, god I hate Brexit lol

How do those non-EU people immigrate to UK? Is that a bug or a feature?

Can someone ELI5 how did that happen? Im an EU national with a pre settled status so I never need to know the visa system but I thought the whole thing about the reform post Brexit was about making it much harder to come into the uk? What am I missing?

I see people making fan of Brexit but this here is solid proof of the UK government betraying yet again the democratic choice of its people.
They wanted less foreigners and they got even more and of worse quality than before. Without being asked or warned.
Anyone happy seeing this is a fool

This is why the future of a country should not be decided by politicians banking on populism and gut instincts.

Lithuanian here and my old friend lives in UK. I always romanticized UK, but he says situation is awful there and safety bad. He wants to come back. I still think UK is much more economically strong and nicer than here. Never been there though.

I hope they join back even though I don’t think it will happen. We have a lot more in common than we think

All according to plan. After all the (far) right feeds on immigration issues, which means that they first need to create those issue. So you ramp up immigration until there’s enough issues and then you start telling people that you’re going to do something about it and then you watch all the votes roll in. They’ll try to turn those immigrants into the enemy while they’re at it, because every fascist needs an enemy for the people to focus on (see the USA and ICE for the most recent example).

I’m so bored of anti-immigrant discussion.
It’s been **the** issue for 20 years. Yet most of the people advocating for it still have no answer for **how** it works/effects the country or the steps necessary to actually reduce numbers in a way that isn’t suicidal.
They just keep screaming a 2d meme where it’s presented as a magic panacea while opposing the prerequisites and wondering why nobody takes them seriously. Most of the people I talk to don’t even know how our asylum systems works. Just like how they didn’t understand how immigration from the Eu worked pre-brexit and are now screaming ‚betrayal!!!‘ when it **obviously** didn’t change anything and introspecting.

I hope at least half the Romanians who went there 10-15 years ago come back to Romania.

It’s the biggest betrayal in modern electoral politics. Getting elected on a mandate to reduce immigration to tens of thousand only to ramp it up to millions of people

Because it’s net, not gross. Huge increase in 2022 because there were no entrants in 2020/21 to depart (covid). In part, that has now settled down. But look at EU migration, the net started to decline in 2016 when EU citizens read the weiting in the wall. Uk has to fill a lot of vacant jobs and since EU migrants said “no thanks” only choice was non EU.

Funny how the right wing accomplished the disaster that the left wing wanted: a non-European GB. We really are in a fked up system.
beantherio on
I still don’t understand the shift from EU to non-EU migration.

That was the goal.
Some big powers outside and inside are working 24/7 to ruin UK as much possible. It’s insane.

And the sad part is that the man who played a major role in the leave campaign is now in the best position to become prime minister of the United Kingdom.
It’s shocking how people are unable to critically think about what politicians say, do and the consequences of their actions. Right wing, anti immigration politicians have never ever delivered on their promises. Not once. Why? They have zero interest in solving the immigration issue because if the immigrants are gone, there is nobody else to blame for austerity measures, incompetence, corruption and mismanagement. This would mean an immediate loss of power in the next election. So instead you just spew hatred and hope the peasants are distracted long enough while you and your buddies plunder the country
