>The statistics do not include the number of Ukrainians and Hong Kongers allowed to come to the UK under refugee resettlement schemes, which are likely to add to the total number of immigrants.
>Nor does it include the tens of thousands of people who arrived by irregular means such as crossing the Channel in small boats.
1.3 million foreign nationals doesn’t equal 1.3 million EU nationals. The graphic is misleading.
“Granting asylum to those from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iran, Syria and Sudan would save the Government millions of pounds a day”
Lots of room in Scotland to have them.
For anyone wondering, the majority of the increase is students and skilled worker visas for health & care.

Well, from what I gathered the chief concern with Brexit was migration, but if the government is effectively just gonna circumcent the Brexit by simply multiplying migration from everywhere else, then it all feels a bit…..stewpid, innit?
If you’re getting fucked regardless, might as well re-join the union and make some money.
