Britain has succeeded in its primary goal of reducing immigration with the Brexit vote - by about 63,000 people.

They also succeeded in losing 40 billion pounds of GDP with the vote, which means they’ve paid....635,000 pounds to keep EACH immigrant out.

Xenophobes are stupid.
I mean, it’s their money. So if that’s how they want to spend it...at least it’s not on war machines, I guess?
Maybe they’re counting on amortization over time. If immigration falls to zero, assuming they lose no further GDP, they’ll only have paid 120,000 pounds (about $150,000 right now) for EACH person they kept out.

What a bargain! Good job brexiteers!
What a ridiculous clusterfuck that whole thing is.

It’s so bad I can almost forget, for a few minutes, about the insecure, stupid, violent person we have running this country.
If he succeeds in building the wall, I look forward to similar stories on how we paid like $7,000,000 for each Mexican refugee we kept out 🙄
