It's hard for the Tories, they have to pretend they want to bring immigration down to appease some rabid members of their support base but we actually need them so they still have to have high numbers of immigration.
This is why the campaign re ending free movement is so disingenous, we have been able to limit immigration forever but have effectively chosen not to.
The leave campaign were happy to dog whistle and state there would be less foreigners knowing full well there wouldn't be. Because they needed to do something to get enough votes in addition to those who genuinely were against the EU.
But, fortunately for the leave campaign those Brexiteers who are anti immigration will see this as fake news and easily be persuaded immigration is fallen by Farage and his like. |  |

It's pretty insane.
Make a big hoo-hah about immigration while risking demonising whole sections of the population. Push for a Brexit that will damage the economy and our future prospects in order to "take back control". And then immediately let more immigrants in where we've always had control in the first place.
You get the feeling the left hand doesn't know what the hatstand is doing. |  |

UKIP policy was to allow business to determine immigration needs.
People chose what they wanted to hear.
Farage just hates the EU, and used immigrants as a target to gain popularity when times were tough. And the Tories just followed along with their immigration target. |  | | |

Precisely.

What I never understand is people who voted leave for the sake of immigration failing to understand that the people who they least wanted over here weren't European anyway.
I believe EU immigration is now the lowest since 2009 but that is mainly because the £ has crashed and the money they earn isn't what it was. |  |

The VoteLeave billboards and Facebook ads that showed a long queue of brown people queuing up to come here because of Turkey worked wonders. |  |

There's not much to understand. Those people are either dim, racist or both. |  |

They stoked those fears by saying Turkey will be joining the EU, that it has a land barrier with Syria and that 50m Muslims could now come here under freedom of movement.
Turkey are years away from being in the EU, and we have a Veto anyway - I expect that of Farage and his lot, but when Boris Johnson was saying it then I don't know how that chancer still gets away with being in Government.
Ironically less EU immigration means more 'brown people' and Muslims which will upset many | |

More importantly they were lied to, by people who knew they were lying.
It's much easier to get someone to believe a lie, than believe they have been duped. | |

One of Trump’s aides said, it doesn’t matter if it’s tue, it’s what they believe that matters.

Immigrants from the third world (non EU) expect less and require less wages.
A report about working conditions & wages in Leicester showed the Indian employers involved in the 'rag trade' never paid anything like the minimum wage, this, as reported, is known by the authorities.
None of the employers had been taken to court for not complying with legislation.

From Turkish stock himself:
"Boris's grandfather, Wilfred Johnson, had never spoken about the murder of his Turkish father in the 1920s." |  |
