Lancaster for Europe (on BlueSky) 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦

Here we go with the "they're all coming here" floodgates thing 👇 1 Poland today has a 3.5% growth rate, so not likely they'll "all be coming here" again. In fact maybe quite a few British people might want to "go there" to a booming economy like Brits did to Germany in the 80s 2 A lot of Poles "all came here" in 2005 because the UK and 🇮🇪 were the only countries which decided 𝐧𝐨𝐭 to apply a 7yr brake on FoM (negotiated by the EU) because Blair wanted cheap labour. It could have, but didn't 3 A whole lot more people "came here" after Reform's beloved Brexit, which quadrupled immigration 4 Over the years millions of us have, also "gone there" - free movement works both ways. How many Spaniards and French people have retired in sunny Clacton compared to the millions of UK pensioners who over decades have done so in the EU, incidentally clogging up their health services and hospitals and not the NHS ?
