The regulation where we had to accept more than twice the rate of incoming requests than any other country? 2018 figures 63% for UK, 30% for Germany. And among the lowest rate of successful outgoing request, 4% for UK, Greece 108%. We may have been able to send 209 to the EU, but had to accept 1,215. 1 out, 6 in.

Now if we had figures like Greece, it might be a good idea, 18 in, 5,447 out.

Oh good, that will hopefully be the Doctors and Dentists we need.

Maybe.

Foreign-born UK residents are much more likely to be of working age than the UK-born — and thus less of a fiscal burden. They tend to be healthier than the UK-born, and are much more likely to have a university degree. Seventy-five per cent of them have lived in the UK for more than five years and 90 per cent speak good English. None of this suggests that immigration is likely to usher in any sort of financial, social or cultural calamity.

So that's each year.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
OK Andrew, at least you're trying 
Now be honest, how many on that boat (if it actually exists) will speak decent English, have their passports in hand, full details of previous occupations, a complete file on their medical history, and a full checkable list of their higher education?

None of them.
No doubt the ones referred to by Andrew are those entering the UK legally, not those coming over illegally on boats.
