Daniel Hannan appears on Newsnight and dismisses the suggestion that immigration will reduce to tens of thousands

The second central plank of Leave’s campaign was the suggestion that getting out of the EU would reduce the level of immigration to tens of thousands. What they constantly told us was that you couldn’t get immigration down to the tens of thousands while we were in the EU with the clear implication that leaving would achieve it (otherwise why link the two points?).  

They omitted to tell us they had no intention of trying even after we left.  A small detail that perhaps escaped some of the Leave voters’ notice.  Mr Hannan said he didn’t think “anyone” thought that they would get EU immigration down to the tens of thousands. Really?  What not even one or two people down the Dog & Duck?

When the voters understand the sheer deceit that has been practised on them I fear for some of the Leave campaigners.  There is going to be real anger.
