Net migration to UK falls by 49,000 after Brexit vote.

'Migration figures show that 12,000 more east Europeans left UK in three months
after EU referendum.

Net migration to Britain fell by 49,000 to 273,000 in the immediate aftermath of the
Brexit vote, partly fuelled by 12,000 more Poles and other east Europeans going
home, according to official figures.

The latest quarterly migration figures from the Office of National Statistics show
that immigration to Britain fell by 23,000 to 596,000 in the 12 months to last
September while emigration from Britain rose by 26,000 to 323,000.

The fall in net migration to the UK below 300,000 is the first significant drop in the
politically sensitive figure for more than four years and will come as a relief to
Theresa May, who has recently renewed her target to get it down below 100,000.

Home Office figures show that the number of EU nationals in Britain who had their
applications processed for UK residence documents to secure their individual
status post-Brexit doubled from 92,289 in 2015 to 201,287 in 2016.
More than 140,000 were successful...'

We haven't left the European Union yet, so why are all these people who're legally
allowed to stay in the UK leaving...? What's changed?

'Hundreds of thousands of Polish people living in Britain will leave after Brexit,
the country's deputy prime minister has predicted. 

Mateusz Morawiecki suggested almost a quarter of all Polish citizens living in
Britain may be tempted to return to Poland given the country's growing economy
and low levels of unemployment...'

Ah... that explains it. This wasn't about families fleeing war-torn Syria, this was
all about migrant workers forcing the minimum wage to be seen as the maximum
wage for many in the UK.

And the rich get richer and their countrymen get left behind.
Thanks Big City.
