non-EU net migration was the highest since 2004; this follows a gradual increase in immigration of non-EU citizens over the past five years for both work and study (Office for Natiuonal Statisics)

I couldn’t give a hoot as long as they’re decent people.

One of the arguments that Brexshitters wouldn't listen to, but as you point out has been proven correct, is that ending freedom of movement in the EU will increase migration from non-EU countries.
The notion that migrants 'steal' jobs is, and has always been, an utter nonsense. You need only view the 'cottage industries' that grow up around festivals and sporting events to see the effects of an influx of people.
The concessions stands on Wembley Way aren't all there on days when there are no people there and producing 60,000 burgers for one man and his dog who probably brought a cheese sandwich with them anyway isn't going to do anything but bankrupt anyone stupid enough to try to open when there is no market to sell to.
However that gets into the economics which I didn't want to do. Brexshitters are convinced that closing Britain off from a market 1.5 times the size of the USA is a good thing

Perhaps Stooo could include a few special effects to accompany the mood on here. Maybe clicking on the politics forum could trigger Mahler's Funeral March? Or some wailing banshees?
Some Dignitas ads, and links to the Samaritans might be appropriate as well.

The British fear since the 17th century has been that Ireland would be the trading crossroads between the Americas and Europe that the English needed to be in order to survive. Keeping either Ireland or Scotland from joining with Europe to make England irrelevant was always a focus of English politics but now they've turned that around. English politics is now specifically aimed at becoming as isolationist and irrelevant as possible

The Scots are planning a 2nd ref as early as next year, and the omens are looking good. With a fair wind the EU may let them rejoin sooner rather than later and I will be in the delightful position of having my Scottish/EU citizenship back and an EU border just a few minutes up the road.
I'm trying hard not to count my chickens.
