UK Migration

The ongoing protests across England right now, come off the back of very high net migration figures. In 2023, net migration stood at 650,000. 

Study the below graph sourced from the House of Commons Library. During the 60's there was a net outflow, while the net migration gain only started to become meaningful during the 1990's. Then, during the 21st century, inflows have increased markedly, and become unsustainable over the last three years. 

Basically, the UK government created this mess. People find their cost of living increasing, jobs under threat and their neighbourhoods transformed overnight. The UK government have to bring these numbers down to 1994-98 levels.
