Well, under the Dublin Regulation, we could have returned them…

I understand the Brexit-led immigration is such that they're hoping to build a mosque in Wokingham but the first attempt failed due to parking concerns. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd7v07yennpo.amp

A couple of hundred a year, but that’s because, when we were part of the Dublin Agreement, there were very few boat people crossing the Channel - it was a deterrent.
After we left it, though…

In its place we gained lots of Middle East-North African small boat immigrants. We definitely knew what we voted for in 2016, despite what those pesky Remainer told us!

They knew what they were voting for I'm sure of it or else why are the bullshit merchants in parliament representing people's interests and why are the rags that peddled it still in business, wouldn't make sense for this to be happening if such a large portion of the public had been hoodwinked let alone for them to be given another chance to fool them again.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Not sure why - yet again - Brexit is the 'raison d'ętre' for all things related to immigration.
The World then had to cope (badly if being honest) with Covid and it's knock on effects.
Shortages of raw materials, companies going bust, long term infrastructure projects going well over budget, online shopping making itself felt with the demise of high streets and smaller businesses.
Successive Government 'experts/advisors' trying to bluff their way through everything by guessing what tomorrow would bring.
Wars, ethnic cleansing, famine, natural disasters, global warming etc.
Governments and some celebrity individuals stating loudly and publicly "come to us, we welcome you with open arms"
People flee to Europe (and America) where they're told everything is milk and honey . . it's not just the UK that has problems.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Brexit hens coming home to roost.

UK steel industry warns of ‘biggest crisis’ due to new EU tariffs
European Commission set to propose a levy of 50% on steel imports
The UK steel industry is facing its “biggest crisis” in history, the sector’s trade body has warned, as the EU prepares to impose steep tariffs that could be more devastating than those levied by the US.
The European Commission intends to propose tariffs of 50 per cent on steel imports worldwide above a quota set at 2013 levels on Tuesday, according to a document obtained by the Financial Times.
The move threatens to inflict disproportionate damage on the UK steel industry, from which 80 per cent of exports go to Europe. Steel imports squeezed out of the EU could also flood the UK.
Gareth Stace, director-general of industry lobby group UK Steel, warned that the new tariffs “could be terminal for many of our remaining steel companies”, urging ministers to “recognise the urgent need to put in place its own measures to defend against a flood of imports”.
“This is perhaps the biggest crisis the UK steel industry has ever faced. Government must go all out to leverage our trading relationship with the European Union to secure UK country quotas or potentially face disaster,” he said.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Tariffs here, tariffs there, bloody tariffs everywhere.
What the hell happened to the 'global market' everyone was so sure would be brilliant?
Screw it, lock the doors and close the curtains, let's go self sufficient, nothing (including people) in or out for the next 6 months  
oh, and a P.S. - the UK steel industry = foreigners that thought a UK base would allow them better access to the European markets

Yes, but apparently it's costing China 500 zillion quid a week to run it
It also used to cost the Indians a fair whack too (after some asset stripping), and the Dutch also made a few bob from owning it.
I think what the UK Govt. needs to do is buy and take control of a concrete producing plant in Zimbabwe, and purchase an 80% stake in a Brick manufacturing company in Chile.
The cost of transporting finished materials to the UK will be easily absorbed by the ridiculously cheap labour costs involved

Since we import nearly half of the food we eat in this country, you may not have fully thought that through…
