also you could curb immigration in half just by banning people from outside of europe. Just like that, without upsetting 27 neighbours

Using the Trump playbook... make the nation such an undesirable, unfriendly place for foreigners they don't want to come here. (This genuinely happened with Mexican immigration)

Hmm its been a sticking plaster for dreadful government policy.
