New Record In Spite Of Brexit
Remember how Brexit was going to stop us being swamped by immigrants.
Just another Brexiteer/Nigel lie, as the numbers are still increasing to record levels.

But I expect the mugs who voted for it are still in Denial.

Indeed. I don't often agree with you, Canary but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Would it be to much for you to put on a link from BBC where things are going right here like this one. Seems like we may be doing some things right or isn't it anti British enough for some on here.

No I don't. I remember being told that in the event of a proper Brexit, the 450m or so citizens of the remaining 27 member nations would no longer have the automatic right to settle here. That is slightly different but, of course, may not fit quite so nicely into your agenda.
In any case, whatever was suggested had no influence on me. I made my decision in 1992 that, given the chance, I would vote for the UK to leave and nothing I heard since then about immigration or anything else changed my mind.

But the Brexit posters didn’t feature European immigrants.

14 57, But they are still immigrants Bobbi and the wrong sort to help get the UK out of the Bog . By voting Brexit you sent all the Doctors, nurses . NHS workers Hgv drivers etc, out of the UK , yes, you got rid of the wrong immigrants, and shot yourselves in the foot while doing it. ...repent at leisure....OK.

I did, Zacs, and I can’t see anything about “…being swamped with immigrants.” The closest I can see the Indie article coming to that is this:
“Britain’s vote to leave the EU was the result of widespread anti-immigration sentiment,…”
Which is the result of a survey of opinions, not a fact.
The “Atlantic” article (which I believe was dated three days prior to the referendum) says this:
“It’s unclear if Brexit would actually reduce immigration to the U.K. About half of the migrants to Britain come from non-EU countries, and previous efforts to curb immigration have had limited success.”
Neither mentions Brexit preventing the UK “…being swamped by immigrants.”
But as I’ve said before, so what if the Leave campaign did give that impression? If voters are daft enough to believe what they hear from politicians then they must prepare to be disappointed. It was quite obvious that leaving the EU would have no influence on immigration by non-EU citizens (either legal or illegal) and quite why anybody should have believed that it would is bewildering.
The other aspect I find very troubling is that voters who did base their vote on their concern about excessive immigration (from whatever origin) are so vilified. The electorate is entitled to be concerned about immigration even if politicians seemingly are not. It has a huge effect on the country, which is currently struggling – and often failing - to properly provide many vital services for those already here. If that concern is mistakenly interpreted as racism then so be it, but the concern should not be swept aside.
