The uk had an estimated net migration of over half a million people last year.

Well over 100k more than we have ever had.

Can we now please put to bed any idea that leaving the e.u meant we had less of an immigrant workforce last year to work on farms etc and "low skilled" jobs.

Why has migration increased ? And why are there over 1 million job vacancies

You can draw your own conclusions. But it's puts any idea to the sword. There were lss migrants to the uk which was the source of blame for a lot of drama last year.

Interesting conversation on a pod cast this morning suggesting that one of the possible reasons migrants head for England (apart from the obvious ones like language and post colonial affinity) is that the French have ID cards making it more difficult for migrants to disappear. Not totally convinced by this as I doubt it would do anything to prevent sex trafficking and even if people were caught without ID what would happen to them? Instant deportation?

Sort of has though given the claims pf 1m e.u citizens fleeing the country.

Originally it was estimated 3.5m err here. Yet 6m applied for citizenship.

Then over 200k net immigration this year.

Significantly more than most e.u years.

Really undoes the idea that e u citizens were fleeing the uk.

My observations:

It's driven by non EU. So doesn't support the idea that leaving brexit has had no effect on EU immigration

While work visas have doubled since 2020, the big increases are study and other.

We have no data on who the work visas are going to. It's meant to be skilled workers. If it's low skilled, than that suggests a big gap and so it's not clear if the gap has been filled.

TL;Dr not enough detail in the data to draw any conclusions

How do you get to that conclusion?

Do the figures you are quoting break down where people are from?

The difference is we have a different type of migration.

We have more people from countries not in the Eu and most of them are high skilled workers. What we are lacking is workers who will work in low paid low skill jobs.

Not really, no.

Most of that migration would have been on working visas. These would be 'skillled' migrants with job offers, and therefore wouldn't increase the pool of unskilled workers.

If those figures include people arriving by non-legal means, they aren't allowed to work, so they also don't increase the unskilled work force.

It's nothing to do with arriving by non legal means. Anybody arriving completely legally who wants to claim asylum cannot work.

True, but I wanted to include those that arrive by unapproved methods, and do not apply for asylum. Those people are probably in the figures, and they also can't work.

Of course, people that successfully claim asylum are able to work, and probably do increase the unskilled labour pool.

How do we know how many people are arriving by unapproved means and don’t apply for asylum ?

Listen to radio 4 news now and you might begin to have a bit of a more well informed opinion

Ukraine, Afghan, Students all increasing but EU migrants declining.

Seems pretty obvious but it’s too easy to blame the small boat people

Others have addressed this but higher levels of immigration doesn’t necessarily equate to higher levels of low skilled workers. In fact it could (and arguably should) be the exact opposite as a points based system approach encourages immigration based on workforce needs.

Not really clear on your point re migration from/to EU countries either? The Independent says this...

“Net migration to the UK has reached a record high, with an estimated 504,000 more people arriving into the UK than departing in the past year, new ONS estimates show.

It is also the first time since 1991 that more EU nationals have left the UK than arrived. Net migration of EU nationals is minus 51,000 for the year up to June 2022, new estimates show.”

Can you clarify the point you are making. Thanks

It is driven by non eu yes. As it has been for many years.

Study visas aren't work visas.

Regarding skilled visas vs unskilled fom. So what you are alluding to then is all e.u workers of net migration stats previously were all low skilled. But many are now well skilled?

We heard originally that 1m e.u citizens fled the uk. And this led to a worker shortage. Infact this never occurred. And that 2021 lack of immigration led to rises in food unpicked pigs not slaughtered etc.

But the basic data does categorically bot support that thesis.

So then each year you think the 200k migrants "net" that entered the uk were all unskilled. And then suddenly ll the 200k migrants from e.u became skilled and although the uk has been free to move to for 2 decades. Decided to suddenly come to the uk on a visa from june21-june 22?

That's definitely an out there theory. I'll give you that.

They haven't.

There logic has taken them to the point that.vall unskilled migrants didn't come to the uk during fom. But suddenly once the costs of a Visa arrived they decided to come to the uk

Now if that's true it completely undoes another remain argument. The for does NOT suppressed wages.

If the skilled have suddenly decided to unstick and move the uk at the cost of a working visa which was never necessary before and await an pllicstion process.

There must be a financial incentive for it. Because the process became much harder for them to move here. Yet this year their net immigration outstripped almost all previous years.

Apparently though the uk is bigoted and racist and they wouldn't come here after brexit.

All these points I am afraid have been shown to be project fear.

How does your 200k net migration from EU figure tally with what The Independent said...

The population of the UK in my opinion are bigoted.

Areas of the country are not happy, even hateful towards other areas of the country.

We have the left and minority groups being outraged and outspoken on all things they feel are the fault of privilege or lack of. The right are outspoken and outraged at everything the left and the minority groups are up in harms about, plus anything that doesn’t resemble a Sunday roast. Finally you have those in the middle that are fed up with everyone else. All bigoted, all equal in their scorn and hatred towards anyone who is different to them.

some points of clarity.

The half a million extra is entirely from increases in non EU. EU migration is negative 51k. 49k extra Brits left too.

Study visas and other are part of these numbers. Of the 700k of visas only 151k are work. Up from 81k 2020. Study is up from c136k to 277k. Other up from 92k to 276k

And I make no claim about EU skill type. There is no data on the type of work visa nor what the EU people were doing. I'm not arguing a position other than there isn't the data to argue a position. I can't see how you've reached any of your conclusions. Lots of versions of reality could lead to these numbers.

Can we now please put to bed any idea that leaving the e.u meant we had less of an immigrant workforce last year to work on farms etc and "low skilled" jobs.

"

Too simplistic…. Look at some of the factors behind the numbers

170,000 people have come in from Ukraine….. 30,000 have come in from Hong Kong…

They are included in the figures, there are obvious factors there…..

540,000 came in on student visas… they are included in the figures but not intended to stay, remember this is the first year these people have been counted in a while after covid!

45k left the uk permanently as in uk nationals…. 35k came in on illegal crossings across the channel….

This last year has not been a usual year. We have had around 134,000 Ukrainian refugees, 103,000 from Hong Kong and around 20,000 from Afghanistan. That is on top of the normal figures we would expect.

Though actually if there is a 100,000 more than normal migration on the whole it is down and would be if it wasn't for these 3 exceptions.

Well, no. I'm not sure you understand the situation.

I think that before Brexit the 200k EU migrants were mostly skilled, and now after Brexit, the situation is exactly the same (except that the skilled migrants now need a visa).

The unskilled folks that we used to use on our farms were seasonal workers that came over when they were needed, and then left again when the job was done. Because they didn't settle here, they weren't classed as migrants, and so weren't included in the migration figures.

Since Brexit, those migrant workers have needed visas, and a good chunk of them have decided that it's too expensive, or too much hassle.

So, to get back to your original point, no, the latest migration figures do not put to bed any idea that leaving the EU meant that we had less of an immigrant workforce to work on farms.

When the OP comes back, in addition to the various challenges so far in this thread, I would be curious for his views on this example from today...

(Bloomberg) Cranswick Plc, which supplies supermarkets with pork and poultry, is paying for 400 butchers to travel from the Philippine islands to work in Britain after staff from continental Europe flocked home following Brexit.

“It’s absolutely necessary if we want food on the plates,” said Cranswick’s Chief Executive Officer, Adam Couch. “Obviously it’s very expensive to bring them over, but it’s far better to bring them over than to curtail production as we did this time last year.”

Couch said that paying for each butcher from the Philippines cost between £10,000 and £12,000 -- equivalent to more than £4 million. Each butcher needs a visa, a flight to the UK, an English test and accommodation. Cranswick has an apprenticeship program to train up new butchers, but Couch said that there was just “not enough people”.

Until Britain voted to leave the European Union, 65% of Cranswick’s workers in the UK came from central Europe. That number has since plunged. Last year, the staff shortage was so severe that Cranswick had 25% fewer staff than required at its processing plants in areas such as Hull, northern England, and Norfolk, eastern England.

Were those areas mainly leave voters by any chance?

I have a couple of Chinese clients who tell me that the majority of people leaving Hong Kong for UK are of retirement age so it’s perfectly feasible that the Tories will have 30,000 more pensioners voting for them - perhaps Johnny Two Notes is right about the next election? Funny that the right wing press doesn’t mention them either

Still fail to see the issue. I have done that (and more) in the past, when necessary. I commuted by car 40 miles each way every day for about 8 years.

If several people from the fish factory get jobs in the meat factory they can car share to reduce costs.

"The uk had an estimated net migration of over half a million people last year.

Well over 100k more than we have ever had.

Can we now please put to bed any idea that leaving the e.u meant we had less of an immigrant workforce last year to work on farms etc and "low skilled" jobs.

"

This year has seen an increase but it's not always as clear cut as it seems. A big chunk is obviously the 170,000 people from Ukraine which I would say is not a typical thing to normally happen. An even bigger chunk is the 277,000 students that choose the UK to do their studies. Although this does happen normally, the numbers are likely higher due to the dropping of travel restrictions. In both cases, although these people may work when here they are likely to return home when the war ends and for the students, when they compete their education.

You didn't understand the figures, did you?

You have been provided with a lot more information on in the thread.

In brief, all of the immigration in these figures is through regulated routes, so we are choosing to accept them.

The comprise mainly of students and those with specific "high" skills.

There is a shortage of immigrants to carry out "low" skilled jobs to the extent that they are being flown in from Nepal and Indonesia and significantly higher cost.

"You are choosing to accept them"

What does that mean? You don't want to accept students and skilled workers and their families to the UK?

It is current government policy.

Are you saying that we don't want skilled people to do the highly skilled jobs that we have no people to do? Perhaps that we should magic up people with highly technical three or four or six year degrees and several years of working experience?

What do you want no immigration at all?

while I understand scepticism, it's as good a set of data as I can get.

Otherwise you simply dismiss anything that doesn't fit into ones views, rather than adjust views.

but you can use different sources of data to create a good guess. As they say, no model is correct, but some are more useful than others. I'd say the same of data.

Is there a lot of immigration or a little?

Is it a problem or is not?

Now you don't want to discuss the fundamental point that you are making about not believing any information from anyone.

Do you really not expect to be asked what you mean? Just for everyone to accept what you say and not ask any questions?

I still don't know what you mean...

TBF I thoughr she had explained the comment (as I understand it she meant accepting the data rather than visas).

The WMD has caused a distrust in government data.

Now, maybe there is some data she does trust more. We probably should spend more time clarifying her position if we truely wanted to engage. Which isn't just throwing a load of questions at her. Or statements about her presumed position.

"I don't need any questions answered"

What about if someone wants to ask you a question, maybe they should start there instead of jumping straight to suing you.

Anyway. We can get back to the topic rather than a discussion about how forums work.

How would you go about finding that out without asking any questions?

I didn't presume a position. I picked one possible option to respond to a hostile and cryptic comment. The reply could have been anything. Instead, it was nothing...

Let’s put the increase into context here.

Migration from people fleeing the commies in Hong Kong, the Ukrainians fleeing the evil Putin, people coming across in boats, and people coming to work in the NHS and tech industries.

Migration has increase in the skilled labour market quite significantly after brexit.

Problem is we need unskilled Labour which was being filled by European workers.

Does this answer the question?

"I'm taking the piss out of you It's the normality for some here if you disagree they demand a answer. Best to let the forum brigade do their thing.

Isn't that what a forum is for? It you disagree you ask questions.

Otherwise why bother posting up here if you don't want any discussion? hence why no one posts anymore lol. Then the same people whine over why no one is posting. So what is the point . You just disagree to have a what for it makes you feel better about yourself. Enjoy. It's a never ending circle of ignorance in this forum.

No one posts anymore because their opinions are questioned and they are unable to respond without being rude?

Why do you post on here so frequently? Why do you post almost daily ? Then degrade people if they disagree? Clearly you been called out on your rudeness multiple times. Yet your superiority complex gets in your way to understand. Circle of ignorance. You have a penchant of preforming for the masses to feed your ego. I'll just fade away and be myself. Carry on mien furor."

Post of the month! Agree 100%

Yet, he has the nerve to distract from his behaviour by accusing others of it! We have a short phrase for it here : the pot calling the kettle black. Or even shorter : hypocrisy.

Given that you reply far more to my posts than I do yours, this is further proof of your hypocrisy and twisting things round!

I blocked you first when it became apparent ages ago that it was an appropriate move

I've never messaged you. Why on earth would I?

What's your opinion on the migration argument in this thread? Do you have one?

Was there some other reason that you chose to post here?
