How's That Brexit Working Our For Ya?

Not a day goes by without the UK Government mentioning illegal immigration coming across the English Channel on small boats, but that's because they want you to look over there and not over here where the number of legal immigration has skyrocketed by 250% since 2022.
The Office of National Statistics today revealed that 616,000 work visas were issued in 2023
to fill holes in British care homes with Health and Social Care the largest recipients with 146,477
and with preferential status removed from people coming from the European Union courtesy of Brexit, East Asians and West and Southern Africans are the primary source of healthcare workers.
More than 18,000 came from India, with 7,000 from Bangladesh and Pakistan, 18,000 from Nigeria, 15,000 from Zimbabwe and 10,000 from Ghana.
It was barely hidden that the main driver behind many people's vote for Brexit was to stop immigration and 'kick out the foreigners' which was a huge own goal 'as the Europeans quite rightly told us to stuff our jobs and went elsewhere leaving our Hospital's and Care homes woefully understaffed.
Brexit will be the gift which keeps on giving until one of our political parties have the will to offer us a route back into Europe and not just for the foreign workers we so dearly need but the access to the World's largest single market which hit our GDP by 4% when we carelessly removed ourselves.
