Net migration to UK drops 69% year on year, ONS figures show

🤔 So the UK's net migration is down, huh? About time, too - I mean, who doesn't love a good 'welcome back, old chap' from EU citizens? 🙃 And now we get to enjoy the thrill of hotel accommodations for asylum seekers... because, you know, nothing says "welcome to Britain" like a 13% increase in temporary housing. 😂

And seriously, 900 people in two barracks in Scotland and southern England? That's not exactly a comprehensive solution, but hey, at least it's a start. And I'm sure the local hotels are just thrilled to be hosting more 'refugees'. 🤦‍♂️ I mean, who needs affordable housing when you can have a fancy new barracks, right? 💸

Tougher measures for immigration? Oh boy, here we go again... like that's ever gonna happen. Politicians love throwing around ideas to make themselves sound 'tough on immigration', but at the end of the day, they're just trying to impress their base and look good in the polls. 🤓
 
I'm low-key surprised by this net migration drop tbh 🤯. I guess it's no surprise tho, with all the Brexit drama and the new rules on work and student visas 📝. But, like, what's next? Are we gonna see a mass exodus of EU citizens too? 🚫 And, omg, 36k asylum seekers in hotels is wild 😱. I get that it's not an easy problem to solve, but can't the government just, like, provide more resources or something instead of throwing up barracks and expecting everyone to be chill about it 🤪?
