UK migration: Rise in net migration from outside EU

[original PM]

Ok everyone repeat after me

Nobody voted for brexit to stop immigration.

There was a view that we should take more control of who we let in and it was felt that in the previous few years there had been very lax controls on peoples entering the EU from the African continent which had led to an increase in unvetted people entering the uk which potentially led to the increase in radicalisation of UK citizens.

Absolute bulltulip...

Or... the UK government did nothing to stop people coming in and Brexiters blamed the EU for it, as usual.

And the phrase was not "take more control" but "take BACK control", implying that we used to have control over our borders but due to the nasty EU we had zero control over them now. Which was completely false. The EU were not the ones who reduced the size of UKBF, were they?

Here's a poster containing that phrase:


Here's another one:


Here's a Vote Leave advert, maybe a bit too subtle for some:


But no one voted for Brexit because of immigration, it was always something else, that undefined thing that is still undefined, that unicorn, that £350million a week that we give to the EU being given to the NHS, that option with no downside, that nirvana.
And almost 3 years later, not a single piece of detail as to what the new magical kingdom will be or how we get there.

Disoriented Brexiteers plead with Rees-Mogg as their strategy falls apart

[original PM]

But we have had the conversation guys - we agreed that many many people voted to leave not because of tulip written on the side of a bus - or nigel's posters

More it was that we simply did not feel that the EU had the best interests of the British citizens at it's heart - and in fact it was felt that the Eu was going to simply ride roughshod over Europe and we did not want to be a part of that.

The fact that you are all sat there complaining about the fact things may cost a bit more shows that you really did not think this through at all.

I am just disappointed.

Bulltulip alert

You may have had that conversation in your little head, but the evidence is all over the internet that the main reason people voted out was immigration.

You're pretending it's something else now that you've been shown that you were lied to and had the wool pulled over your eyes. You was fooled. You're an idiot. Get over it
