Net Migration To UK Falls By 49,000 After Brexit Vote. - BIAD - 02-23-2017 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.

'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...' SOURCE: 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.
