BBC: NET MIGRATION TO THE U.K. HITS RECORD LEVELS
BBC ^ | 23 Nov | BBC

Posted on 11/23/2023 4:27:35 PM PST by RandFan

Suella Braverman has said the pressure on public services from migration is "unsustainable", after figures estimated record levels last year.

The former home secretary said the government must "act now" to cut the numbers coming to the UK.

Net migration - the difference between the number of people coming to live in the UK and those leaving - was a record 745,000 last year, ONS figures show.

No 10 said migration was "far too high" but it was acting to bring it down.

The prime minister's official spokesman said this included clamping down on dependants of students coming to the UK and increasing visa costs.

But Mrs Braverman, who was sacked from her cabinet role last week, said the record figures were "a slap in the face to the British public who have voted to control and reduce migration at every opportunity".

She added: "The pressure on housing, the NHS, schools, wages, and community cohesion, is unsustainable. When do we say: enough is enough?"

As home secretary, Mrs Braverman said she had called for measures including an annual cap on net migration, closing the graduate visa route, and a cap on health and social care visas.

"Brexit gave us the tools. It's time to use them," she added.

We’re talking nearly a million a year (these are “official” figures likely underplaying it too)

They’re trying to collapse the West

So the Brexit vastly augmented the migration apparently...
I thought they voted for the Brexit to effectively END migration.
So what’s next? Will the Brits demand to come back to the EU, to come back to the lower migration numbers ?

The globalists are daring citizens to rise up. Unfortunately, for Europe, a major race war is already starting. Maybe that’s the only thing that will wake up North America...Europe in flames.

I dare any white American try to immigrate to the UK or Europe. Not a damned chance. I went through years of headaches just living in Germany. The UK was worse. BUT. Be a violent muslim with no skills, illiterate, and promises to kill the infidel? “Come right in, is the house to your liking? Are you getting enough halal food! Can we bring your entire family here for you?”

Europe is worse...proximity to Africa and Muslim world...less space and way less Muslims per capita alraafy in Europe. But I’m with you... it’s gotta stop here too. Europe is going down very soon if they don’t stop them NOW.

There is a hidden hand at work, in this. One of the jumping off points to Europe is the Libyan port of Benghazi. Gaddafi clamped down on the people smuggling business, and he frankly told European leaders that their people would be replaced, if they did not act.

They acted, all right. He was brutally killed and his country overun - which led to this open door into Europe. This series of events cannot have been accidental.

“Literally dumbest post I’ve ever read.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You didn’t agree when I said that the Brits voted for the Brexit mainly because they wanted to stop immigration?

Well... read this then :

Brexit: People voted to leave EU because they feared immigration, major survey finds

So what I said wasn’t so dumb after all huh...?

England betrayed by their local leaders the same as Brussels. Not a shock. But you used “augment” improperly, like someone who doesn’t speak English.
