Re: Today's Brexit news
Curious question, which T Msy has never answered.
The government over the last six years (Home Secretary T May) has had power to reduce the number of non-EU immigrants. Given their views, she obviously ensured that the numbers would fall significantly. In 20111 the number was 314K. That fell to 260K in 2012 and further to 248 in 2013. Good work Mrs May! Oh, hang on, what's this? In 2014 it went UP again to 287K, and has stayed roughly even since them (Source: Migration watch UK, estimates only as the government doesn't actually keep accurate figures!)
So basically the Tories talk a lot and do nothing (not that I'm saying they should cut the numbers, but lies and hypocrisy are not something I like)
And yes, including students makes even less sense as including transit passengers at Heathrow. Students are a benefit to the economy.
