Indian / UK trade deal

[ReganAndCarter]

I think they are trying to blame Starmer for failing to exploit the glorious opportunity that is Brexit.

And the UK Govt.

Maths not your strong point either?

The delay was 7 years, at about 100,000 per year. You work it out, see if you get a different figure to my 700,000.

Or perhaps you'd be better to review ReganandCarter's comment and see how it fits into your mistaken argument.

TBH, I have lost track of how this discussion started and what question was originally asked.

But if we are talking about Tony Blair's decision to take East Europeans immediately in 2004, then you are correct. The figures show that decision added about 700,000 immigrants.

So fillyboys figure include the period between 2011 and 2020, which would not have been affected by any decision to delay the acceptance or not, of migration from the extension of the EU.
Perhaps fillyboy will now accept that his, and ReganandCarter's, claim of millions is poppycock.
And our understanding of about 700,000 is a reasonable estimate.
Indeed, if there had been a delay and not accepting the migrants until 2011, there may well have been a surge in 2011.
A built up surge of 700,000.

Did I just read somewhere about 75% of statistics quoted on social media is made up nonsense?
