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

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.

Migration benefits the globalists and oligarchs by suppressing wages and diluting the political power of native populations.

There is a reason that the 100+ IQ native populations are being replaced by 85 IQ migrants.

“Europe is burning”

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

Europe is burning, to some level yes...
America as well... I’ll never forget the “Summer of Love” horror, 110 inner cities burning and vandalized, dozens of innocents assassinated, our cultural monuments destroyed...
Waves of illegals are still coming in from Mexico...
And it’s war in Ukraine and Israel...
Russia is burning too... they have lost 300.000 young men in a needless and crazy forever war launched by Putin...
So.. the world is burning... yes.
