      1) The majority of migrants to the UK came from outside the EU.

      2) The majority of EU migrants to the UK were young people, healthy people, who did burden the NHS.
      Well, given the point 1, I suppose there will be a call for referendum so that we can also vote to leave the "rest of the world" too then?
      Jokes aside, This was well in our full control, and we did not control it, did we?

            How might we best facilitate the transfer of all of the EU's poorest workers to the UK, given the clear relationship between population growth and GDP? Surely, anything else would be economically illiterate. What are the arguments against expanding the EU to include Russia and China or perhaps to use a more disparate geographic frame, such as qualification for the Eurovision?

              Get better subsidises from the government and have higher parking charges, library fines etc than nearby boroughs throughout the borough. I'm certain there is not a road in Wandsworth that doesn't have permit parking there as in Lambeth there are roads you can park freely on though they are money grabbing as well.
