Brexit Fundamentalists must be in constant pain, walking around in circles with their hands permanently glued to their temples.
They vehemently opposed EU citizens coming here to work and contribute to the UK economy and society in general. And so they voted and urged people to vote to leave the EU in order to control our borders ourselves. The excuse was that the small island was already full, densely populated; public resources already strained. Nothing to do with stupid nationalism at all.
Now, EU citizens have gone back home in droves leaving the UK with a huge labour vacuum to be filled. The fillers? Well, letting back the same tax-paying, NI-contributing, retail-boosting, business-creating, private-renting Eastern Europeans would be a "betrayal of Brexit", wouldn't it? So, no, it can not be them -- it can only be international students who bring their families with them and/or asylum seekers who can't be returned to the EU.

Figures expected to show net migration reached record levels last year
A Home Office minister was being dragged to the Commons on Thursday over new figures which were set to show record immigration to Britain last year.
Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle granted an “urgent question” to shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper on the data from the Office for National Statistics.
It means Home Secretary Suella Braverman, immigration minister Robert Jenrick, or another minister will have to come to Parliament to answer questions about the latest figures.
The Office for National Statistics will publish data on Thursday for the year ending December 2022.
Analysis by the Centre for Policy Studies forecasts net migration could have hit between 700,000 and 997,000 in that period.
Those figures are substantially higher than the 226,000 level when the 2019 Conservative Party manifesto promised that “overall numbers will come down” following the introduction of post-Brexit border controls.
Rishi Sunak has promised action to bring down net migration, telling reporters on a recent trip to Japan that he wanted to be “crystal clear” with the public that the “numbers are too high” and he wants to “bring them down”.
The latest available figures showed levels are already at a record high.
Total net migration – the difference between the number of people moving to the UK and the number leaving the country – in the 12 months to June 2022 stood at an estimated 504,000.
This was up sharply from 173,000 in the year to June 2021.
The rise was driven by a series of “unprecedented world events”, according to the ONS, including the war in Ukraine, the end of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions, the resettlement of Afghan refugees, the new visa route for British nationals from Hong Kong and students arriving from outside the European Union.
On Tuesday, as part of attempts to attempts to curb net migration, the Government announced that overseas students will be banned from bringing dependants to the UK from January 2024. The change will not apply to those on postgraduate research programmes.
