Looks like net migration has still fallen from it's height 2014 to 2016. Trend's heading in the right direction, but a long way to go before it's negative and we get relief for the nation.

//Seem to remember a D/H of a Conservative P/M Saying, I will get Immigration down by tens of thousands , Can not remember his name.//
Slightly wrong.The D/H of a P.M. was Labour and he was a snake oil salesman,lying ,war monger and criminal called Anthony Bliar.
He and his cohorts trawled immigrants into this country by the thousands with no consideration to the so called benefits and skills they would bring except a cross on the Labour box.

OG,
In May '16, you wrote: 'The prime reason [for Brexit]has to be to regain control of our own country; and destiny. To make our own decisions/laws and negotiate our own deals with other nations. Immigration control would merely be a part of that, but in the present world situation, quite an important part.
Back in Feb last year: 'The interest of the Brexiteers is the same as the interest of all the people n the UK and all the UK counties. It is to allow us to govern our own Union once more, and return the freedom to control our own trade and borders.'
These would suggest you thought immigration was fairly central to Brexit.

Retrocop,
True that immigration grew sharply under Blair, which is why the Conservatives promised to cut it to the “tens of thousands”.
But the last 5 years have seen an even greater rise than under Labour. The net immigration rate is now far greater than under Blair with the latest figure of 336,000 equaling the all time worse figure (which was set by the Conservatives).

The Conservatives have consistently lied about immigration, and failed to reduce it, instead, setting records for new highs.

Would just like to know why some people think that European immigrants are better than non European immigrants. I would agree with Margarettom.
I voted for Brexit mainly because of what the EU has become. Immigration is a problem because of our lack of control. I have no problem with controlled immigration. Hopefully we will leave the EU and immigration will go down.

Those who thought voting Leave would drastically reduce immigration were sold a pup by fraudsters.
