An author, Mr John Lanchester (HERE) has written an essay on Brexit and makes some very good points. He says of the 330,000 migrants that came to the UK last year, 169,000 were actually students who came to study. I hadn't realised the figure was as high as that and I don't believe it was widely publicised. These cannot surely be thought of as long term migrants.
And he also thinks the most likely outcome is a Norway style arrangement to avoid damaging the economy and because the majority would prefer this:
it will be a profound betrayal of much of the Leave vote. If we do anything else, we will be inflicting severe economic damage on ourselves, and following a policy which most of the electorate (48 per cent Remain, plus economically liberal Leavers) think is wrong. So the likeliest outcome, I’d have thought, is a betrayal of the white working class. They should be used to it by now.
