Don't mind me, I'm off to gut higher education, one of the UK's most successful and globally respected exporting industries, because I think doing so will let me defeat white nativism with immigration charts. I am the most naive human being alive.

What is the makeup of the UK migration reversal? Is it all talent fleeing the high living cost/high tax climate, plus potential talent unable to navigate tougher immigration laws? Or is there any progress at all in blocking those who will struggle to find jobs in the UK? UK deficit needs B not A.

My problem with the Labour Party is the left-wing fringe that can't have a conversation discriminating between useful/less useful immigrants without knee-jerk ideology. Most countries have "talent-based" immigration. UK is reduced to right v left slagfests like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2V2...

In 2025 "813,000 people migrated into the UK and 642,000 emigrated from it, resulting in net migration of 171,000." This kind of movement is bound to be disruptive, losing trained people and getting untrained folks. Chart shows flows both ways are huge. commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-bri...

1. The largest single component is students -of course flows both ways are large. That is not a problem 2. UK immigration for work is mostly medium-high skill. Other migration is *very* heterogeneous.

Immigration stubbornly seems to be the top issue for voters and obviously the right-wing media is to blame. It could be a final nail in the UK's coffin if all the talented/hard-working foreigners leave.

When not if Universities will close or at least merge due to lack of student visas
