| We Left The EU Didn't We? |
According to the Government and Members of Parliament, the UK has "left" the EU. Have we noticed? What impact has it had on mass immigration? The Conservatives' version of "Brexit" does not seem to match what people voted for in 2016.
Before the 2016 EU Referendum, people were promised that the UK would "take back control" of our borders.
Yet statistics published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show the:
"highest net migration since the Second World War and is far higher than pre-Brexit levels."
And it is the same old story with our economy as well as mass immigration, with Labour or Conservative governments "in control" (except they haven't been in control as it's been repeated failure and chaos):
- the cost of living has spiralled out of control, with people worried about heating their homes and paying for basics including food
- our economy has tanked after 12 years of mismanagement and chaos in Government by the Tories, who - let's not forget - took over from Labour's Gordon Brown who also tanked the economy
- massive strikes across the board, crippling our economy and with continued below-inflation pay increases
- mismanagement of our NHS and economy during the Pandemic
- threats of unemployment and a two-year long recession by the Bank of England
It doesn't seem to matter who is in Government, it is the people of Southampton who suffer.
Here is what the Southampton Independents candidate for Southampton Test at the 2017 General Election, Andrew Pope said at the time.

Andrew was not elected, but he listened to what the people of Southampton said, and represented their views.
So what about the current MPs for Southampton? There are three.
- Southampton Test has a Labour MP, Alan Whitehead. He voted against leaving the European Union. Has he acted to limit mass immigration?
- Southampton Itchen has a Conservative MP, Royston Smith. What has he done to bring mass immigration under control?
- Romsey and Southampton North has a Conservative MP, Caroline Noakes. What has she done to bring mass immigration under control, as a Government Minister?
Have these Labour and Tory MPs represented you?
They have not respected the vote at the 2016 EU Referendum.
These MPs and their Westminster parties have done very little to bring mass immigration under control. If they have done anything, it has not worked.
It's more Labour or Tory and the same old story.
Who do they represent? Because it does not seem to be the people of Southampton, or the views of the people of Southampton at Westminster.
These MPs put themselves and their parties first.
I think almost every UK citizen has had enough of this mass immigration issue. Whilst I accept there are legitimate claims to stay in UK, Why are the hundreds of thousands of applications taking so long to process? And at the same time, 'Thousands' of illegal immigrants STILL being 'Welcomed' into the country' and placed in 4 star hotels at OUR expense!!??
ReplyDeleteMy solution to this would be to put them ALL on a plane back to where they came from, including those here waiting for applications to be processed, but take the contact details of all the legitimate claimants and invite them back to UK when the processing has been completed.
Well written article, Andrew. More about your positive work locally and lobbying nationally would be great to hear. Marianne Overton MBE Can't seem to get a URL accepted to be a recognizable commentor.
