I’m not going to call you an idiot for voting leave but perhaps I would ask whether you researched the issues beyond just accepting sound-bite headlines.
Education and training is something of a case in point - it is massively more complex than “the immigrants (remembering for a second that EU workers are not classed as immigrants but migrant workers) are taking all the school places”.
I looked at this during the referendum, sadly I didn’t keep the finished article as a document and can’t remember where I posted it. I don’t have time to re-research it so forgive me if the figures are only ball-park.
I think I came up with a need for an additional 220,000 school places. Now most (> 90%) of the children had been born here - relatively few, 10 or 15k arrived as school-age children. So the bulk of the increase was not directly due to immigration - some of it was down to immigrant groups settling and having families, some of it was an increase in the birth rate overall.
Now the important thing about a child born in the UK needing a school place is that the local authorities get 5 years notice of the need for a primary school place and 11 years notice of the need for a secondary school place. Thus the pressure on school places is due largely to the failure of local authorities and government to respond to an entirely predictable increase in the number of school places required.
Also given that, in the main, the kids were born here that means their parents are settled prior to and likely not part of the significant increase in EU migration following the admission of the “A8 nations” to the EU.
In fact migration from the EU has always been dwarfed by immigration from the rest of the world.
Which brings us to the Leave campaign mendaciousness - they just said things like “our schools are overflowing, lets stop immigration”. Never mind that immigration was the wrong term when discussing the EU, never mind that migration from the EU was, at most 20% of the increased demand for school places, never mind explaining the difference between migration, immigration and assylum - just show a picture of a large queue of people with non-European looking tanned faces, tell the voters that they are just waiting to swarm over us from Turkey and let people’s natural xenophobia do the rest.
I genuinely believe that a good few thought they were voting to end all immigration and to send anyone with a brown face “back home” - otherwise why did the number of racist attacks (mostly against people of colour) rise so much in the aftermath of the referendum?
