    It's a shame that questioning net migration numbers of 250k+ per year to a country like the UK instantly equates to Oh My God You're Racist in so many people's eyes these days.

    The rest of the world looks at Europe and wonders just what the fuck she's doing to herself, shrugs, moves on because hey - it's to their benefit if we implode. Sort of like how it's only really in the interest of the top social tiers to encourage and maintain high migration - because it isn't massively for anyone else here.
