To get some good news in this era of shite is something at least.
Surely as a developed country we should be the ones training people from around the world so they can help people in their own countries rather than depriving the poorest countries in the world of their scarce talent. This seems immoral.
The thought processes of folk in this subreddit boggle my mind.
They rage wildly that we should be accepting anyone who seeks refuge because “no person is illegal” and then lament the fact that “we are stealing people” from other countries.
I’ve come to the conclusion they have zero fucking clue what they actually want and just spin any slither of information to make it look like they have some sort of “saviour complex” and are “doing the right thing” whilst offering zero solution to this country’s actual problems. Basically, that’s this subreddit in a nutshell.
The ending of our Freedom of Movement and Erasmus have both lead to the significant drop in young Brits temporarily leaving GB for up to three years.
As net migration is a measure of the difference (not absolute numbers) between those leaving and those entering over given time this has had a counter intuitive and unintended consequential impact on the net migration figure quoted and that is being ignored (quite intentionally) for political purposes.
Simply put the gap has automatically increased as fewer Brits and others with leave to remain are allowed to leave with any ease .
The laughable thing is the home office know full well the impact of students on the migration figures through they ONLY consider those inbound and not those outbound such is the hypocrisy in the home office.
Exiting Erasmus alone has seen over 100,000 fewer students going abroad each year with the awefull Turing scheme .
That accounts for a VERY SIGNIFICANT portion of the so called rise in the quoted Net Migration figure !
