The dirty little secret that those seeking to re join the EU are hiding – plus-British youth make up a large part of those leaving the UK
The UK would need to take 182,000 refugees if it re joined the EU and pay £17,500 per refugee that it does not take below this “quota”.
PETER HALLIGAN
Earlier today, I posted this:
“The number of Brits leaving the UK permanently remains at around 500-700 every year – meaning that 5 million Brits have left in the last ten years whilst around 8 million immigrants have arrived for turnover of 20% against the UK’s population of around 79 million”
There is a little more detail on the make-up of the emigration here:
“Record numbers of young Britons are turning their backs on the UK.
It is estimated that 136,000 more British nationals left the country than returned in the year to December 2025, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Among young people aged 16 to 34, 75,000 more left than returned in that period, the highest number on record since the ONS started using new methods of calculating net migration for UK citizens in 2021.”
There are consequences for all that minimum wage and other labour law plus the hike in employer national insurance aet down by the “chicken ranch “ that is the modern Marxist Labour government. Kids can get hired in overseas jobs far more cheaply and easily than in the UK. Their prospects for advancement and their ability to have a higher standard of livin are far higher also!
Now for the dirty little secret that proponents of rejoining the EU hope you never find out – from Brave AI:
“If the UK rejoins the European Union, it would likely be forced to accept EU refugee quotas and adhere to the bloc’s Asylum and Migration Management Regulation, as rejoining requires accepting the entire body of EU law known as the acquis communautaire.
- “Mandatory Acceptance: Unlike its pre-Brexit status where it could opt out, a rejoining UK would be subject to the EU’s “solidarity mechanism,” which calculates refugee redistribution based on population and GDP.
- Financial Penalties: Member states that refuse to accept their allocated share of asylum seekers face fines of up to £17,500 per person.
- Political Context: These concerns have been raised by EU diplomats and former UK ambassador Sir Ivan Rogers, particularly following statements by Labour leadership hopefuls like Wes Streeting, who has suggested leaving the EU was a “catastrophic mistake” and that he would seek a new mandate to reverse Brexit.
- Historical Contrast: Prior to Brexit, the UK successfully negotiated an opt-out from mandatory EU asylum quotas, a privilege that would not automatically apply upon re-accession to the bloc.”
“If the UK rejoins the EU, it would likely be required to accept a share of the bloc’s minimum annual quota of 30,000 relocated asylum seekers, calculated based on its population and GDP, or face a financial penalty.
- Solidarity Mechanism: Under the new EU Asylum and Migration Management Regulation, member states must contribute to a solidarity pool of at least 30,000 relocations per year or pay €20,000 (£17,200–£17,500) per person they do not accept.
- Estimated Share: Because the UK represents approximately 13% of Europe’s population, political critics have estimated this could equate to accepting up to 182,000 migrants annually, though Labour officials dispute this figure, stating exact terms would be subject to negotiation.
- Opt-Out Status: While the UK previously had a legal opt-out from asylum quotas as a member state, sources indicate that rejoining would require adhering to the full acquis communautaire, effectively removing that opt-out and forcing participation in the new migration pact. “
Onwards!

The bleak truth about falling net migration
The government has been in a celebratory mood since the release of the latest immigration figures. The Home Secretary tweeted that the latest ONS figures show that ‘net migration is down 82 per cent’, to 171,000 people a year, and ‘asylum hotel use is down 36 per cent since last year’. But these headline statistics hide bleak truths, and in reality the picture is dire for Labour and for the country.
In truth, ‘net migration’ is a misleading measurement, because it is produced by subtracting departures from arrivals. The ONS estimates that 813,000 people immigrated to the UK last year, with 627,000 (77 per cent) of them arriving from non-EU countries. These included 138,000 Indians, 56,000 Pakistanis, 54,000 Chinese and 47,000 Nigerians. Meanwhile, 642,000 left the UK – including a quarter of million British nationals and 118,000 EU nationals. This represents substantial population change – almost 400,000 Brits and Europeans left this country last year, to be replaced by 627,000 migrants from some of the poorest countries in the world. This matters because all populations are not equal.
Denmark collects some of the best statistics on migrant criminality and economic activity. Their data broadly tells us that migrants from the Anglosphere and Western Europe are more economically productive and less likely to commit crimes, while those from places like the Horn of Africa, the Middle East and Pakistan are relatively unproductive and more likely to commit crimes. There is no reason to imagine that such groups would be less criminal or more economically productive just because they’ve arrived on the other side of the North Sea. This means that the population churn we are experiencing will likely continue to raise crime while making our economy less productive and place a greater burden on productive taxpaying members of society.
This kind of churn is also harmful because societies, or indeed islands full of strangers who do not share a common history, culture, religion or sometimes even language, tend to be inherently less cohesive, less happy places. This is a conclusion which even the British government reached in its latest ‘Cohesion Strategy’, titled ‘Protecting What Matters’, which describes an integration ‘emergency’, in which migrants live ‘parallel lives’ and trust is ‘fraying’. This should be pretty obvious to anyone who has spent time living or doing business across the world. Human beings are not interchangeable economic units.
High net migration is not the problem – it is merely a symptom of the rapid and destructive pace of population transformation. Between 2021 and 2025, some 5.6 million people moved to the UK.
[…]
This is the other problem for the government and the country. Even if net migration falls to zero, and even if immigration falls further, a huge number of migrants are already here.
