Those Uplands - Again

[Canary42]

The Daily Telegraph says, "Few would have imagined when Boris Johnson pledged to take back control of the UK’s borders that two years later Britain would be allowing in record numbers of foreign workers, students and families."

Perhaps Boris just got his electioneering slogan slightly wrong, it should have been "Get Britain Done"

Ah, the sunny uplands. How are the herds of unicorns doing up there? Thriving, I hope.

Really? Then simply tell me, how many EU citizens arrived to settle here each year before Brexit? Because that figure is needed if any meaningful comparison is to be made between the total (from any point of origin) who arrived to settle before Brexit and those doing so now (which is the essence of this question). We know the numbers arriving (legally) now. The 64k you mention forms part of the latest total of arrivals but apart from that it is irrelevant. We don’t know the numbers arriving pre-Brexit so no comparison is possible.

If you're talking about the mythical "Sunny Uplands" of Brexit, this question demonstrates one advantage - whatever the figures, we know who is arriving (legally) now and where they originate from. We had no idea pre-Brexit.

sounds harsh, but maybe britain needs a military junta to sort it out
end of woke for a start, black vans and steel toe capped boots...ouch i hear...any one have naother workable idea, yea ditch the echr, and all the other legal shenanigan loop holes, sleepy lords would say no and the liberal tards, thye would prefer a total breakdown while they fly off watching the chaos from above.

I don't think you'd find enough ethnic minority, LBGTQ, high rankers to pull that off!
