We have. We’ve chosen to grind the asylum application system to a halt, meaning we have to house the applicants for longer whilst their claims are assessed.Thank fuck we took control of our borders eh?
Seems we’ve got the worst of all worlds. A large number of migrants that we have to pay for that do not have permission to work and a large number of job vacancies traditionally filled by immigrants. Seems there should be quite an easy solution to this but it appears to be beyond the government to work it out.

Net migration reaches all time record of 504,000. Oops!!
That's net migration. How much is due to its being more difficult for Brits to go and work in the EU (and elsewhere if it's somewhere with a trade deal with the EU that no longer applies to us sovereign British citizens)?
You should have heard Gove's car crash interview this morning on Radio Four.Seems we’ve got the worst of all worlds.

Food rotting in fields is no longer news.Last year, the airwaves were fairly crackling with disgruntled farmers and producers whose crops and livestock were going to waste, yet this year I’ve not heard anything like the clamour.
Perhaps not the national news but it would make Farming Today on Radio 4. As I say, much less said about it this year.Food rotting in fields is no longer news.

……you’d think he would have asked to at least delay the news so he could amaze and astonish the nation with the revelation of impending riches and untold wealth and well-being about to descend on us unworthy plebs.If only he had actually gotten there on time, he’d have been able to reel off all the other benefits…
I’m yet to hear an interviewer drill down and ask a Minister to give specific details of how much Brexit has improved the economy. They’re still asking about ‘what benefits’ and not about ‘how much’. Ministers will say it’s far too early to say, of course, but it’s actually not, particularly when independent bodies are already pointing out the mounting costs. As I say, we need to hear more ‘how much?’ and then relate that to the lack of money to do other things in the UK.……you’d think he would have asked to at least delay the news so he could amaze and astonish the nation with the revelation of impending riches and untold wealth and well-being about to descend on us unworthy plebs.
Maybe he had something else to do.
He was asked what B has done for business and went first for freeing farmers from the CAP. But there's precious little certainty yet about what replaces CAP money. Then he burbled about other fringe sector stuff.I’m yet to hear an interviewer drill down and ask a Minister to give specific details of how much Brexit has improved the economy.

There’s also a shortening window in which interviewers will actually be able to pin things on Ministers such as Gove. Everyone basically knows that the Conservatives will be hammered in the next General Election and the open goals are only going to become unmissable, even for the BBC, especially when the threat to its funding starts to abate.Yep…obfuscation on what’s allegedly been achieved (or not) and nebulous guesswork on any future benefits, and yet no interviewer taking advantage of all the open goals in front of them.
Yes, the usual fluff and nothing of substance. No trade deal with your biggest ally so now you scramble around Africa looking to cosy up with countries you screwed for centuries, countries that are more likely to get in bed with China or even Russia, still.He was asked what B has done for business and went first for freeing farmers from the CAP.
