Social Media Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Successive pro-Brexit Tory governments have pledged to crack down on immigration, since Britain voted to leave the EU. Immigration to Britain lept by more than 15% with 1.2 million coming to the country for long-term stays in 2022, according to Office for National Statistics figures released on Thursday. Some 606,000 people were added to Britain's population – a record – despite 557,000 people emigrating from the country in the same time period. In 2021, net migration was 504,000, a figure that has increased by 20% now. The rise in international students following the lifting of the pandemic restrictions primarily fuelled the increasing figures, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Mickmanus Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 The reasons for the increase in immigration to the U.K is because of the Ukrainians fleeing to the U.K , Hong Kongers fleeing to the U.K and international students going to the U.K after a few years of Covid restrictions . No one begrudges Ukrainians, Hong Kongers or students going to the U.K and I disagree with the media using those people to to score political points . They are using Ukrainian refugees as a weapon to attack the Government Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to see the UK education structure is so well thought of, students are flocking to study in UK. Well done to all concerned. Think of the revenue received.
