We are not home office officials, thankfully, the figures show a reduction in EU people and an increase in non-EU people.

So there are no benefits of reduced immigration due to brexit.

That's all.

Brexit hasn't happened yet so the government's new immigration policy has not yet kicked in.

In principle I have no objections to what they are proposing which is more about job skills than where you are from.

Now if that policy doesn't work then this or a future government is free to amend it, something they cannot do with free movement within the EU.

One more point

I would like to know where you get your figures from (I am genuinely interested). Just to make it clear non-EU isn't just people from the Asian sub-continent

I've said this to you once before, this is short term and short term thinking by you.

Being a lefty you don't want a reduction anyway.

Obviously we do.

So by taking any opportunity.....I repeat any opportunity offered to us to pushback against the policies of immigration by governments over decades we take it.

Once the reduction in the EU migrants has been achieved we can focus upon the far more important reduction that must be achieved on non EU migrants. This isn't once and done.

Governments use population increase as an easy method of GDP growth.....it's a ponzi scheme and I like many will take any means offered to us to reverse harmful short term policies.
