You realise that as this is not down to any sort of legislation but rather is down to choice, right? That means that the reduction in people coming is due to no longer feeling welcome in Britain. So it's not the refugees and unskilled labour who have stopped coming. It's the people who have a choice on where they want to go. The professionals and skilled individuals. The people who we not only WANT to be attracting to the UK... But who are essential. Well done Brexit. Clappy clappy clap1. You've successfully made Britain unattractive to skilled migrants and they're going elsewhere.

This is only good news for people who simply "don't like foreigners", because the drop almost certainly represents migrants who would be overall net contributers to the UK economy.

Hypothesis. And an extremely likely one.

If you were a foreign professional, and had the choice of working anywhere in the world, would YOU move your family to the UK in 2016/17?
