[QUOTE="HatsOff, post: 8164593, member: 158216"] Yeah - and I'm saying that a disingenuous argument because the party in charge and the leave campaign were saying that would lead to decreased immigration. This is a Boris statement from before the referendum - granted he does say he is pro-immigration, but the clear subtext here is that voting leave would lead to less immigration (deleted from the voteleave website hence the archive link): [URL unfurl="true"]https://web.archive.org/web/20160606220455/http://www.voteleavetakecontrol.org/boris_johnson_the_only_way_to_take_back_control_of_immigration_is_to_vote_leave_on_23_june[/URL] In the 2019 Tory manifesto it says ' overall numbers will come down': [URL]https://www.conservatives.com/our-plan/conservative-party-manifesto-2019[/URL] I get it - they used 'take back control', but my argument is that that was widely understood to mean that brexit would be mean lower immigration (as promised in all Tory manifestos for a decade) and that has not happened. I don't particularly mind that it hasn't - I wasn't concerned by EU free movement because the rights were reciprocal and immigration is largely driven by market demands. But if we are measuring the 'success' of brexit, then on this measure, it is a failure. [/QUOTE]
