Immigration wasn’t an issue in 2014. It was used as a tool, by those wanting to retain opacity over their offshore banking, to swing the referendum. Trouble was once you fire up the anti-immigrant base they can’t be doused out - they feel they’ve been validated and they’re never going to drop it - the genie is not going to go quietly back in the bottle.
EU immigrants were the perfect immigrant: they were bright, hardworking and happy to regularly hop over back home to keep in touch with family. Now we’ve sent a clear message that these people aren’t welcome, the new post-brexit immigrants are asian/southeast asian - much further away from home and much more likely to bring their family over with them. And there’s no way thectories are ever going to announce an immigration policy - half their base now have a Net Zero attitude to it. As Mark Twain said “You can never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience".
You thought you’d voted to take back control - that was never going to happen, and now we’re £140bn - per year and every year down - and you’re still not happy. Well suck it up coz you played a part in it.
The DA existed to return migrants that had been deemed to arrive illegally. You’ll to ask your local tory MP why they didn’t use it. Maybe they were trying to stoke up the issue.
