I highly recommend checking out the new UK census results. A really cool feature is the interactive map here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/census/maps
With how much fuss British people made about the Polish immigrants before Brexit, you’d think at least 5 milion settled there, but we didnt even manage to break 1. Meanwhile there are some 2+ milion Ukrainians in Poland right now and no one bats an eye.
And they complain about Albanians…lol
I’m surprised Germany isn’t up there or that Ireland isn’t above Italy. A ton of people got Irish or German passports (including myself) after 2016.
No hordes of Syrian invaders then, so Nigel Garbage can fold up his binoculars and go home.
Here one can really see the effect of the 2008 crisis…Spain and Italy went from a few to hundreds of thousands.
I suspect that the amount of Poles, Romanians and Lithuanians would reduce quite drastically in the upcoming decade due to quickly improving situation in those countries in terms of economy.
They (or we, as I’m Lithuanian) would be replaced by south Asians and Africans instead, as very few Europeans would migrate to the UK after Brexit.
