Europe on the day we joined the EU, and the highest on the day we left – this alone speaks for itself and it is well known that the Bank of England predicted disaster and advised Boris against such a foolhardy exercise which was merely to kick out European foreigners. The evidence is clear that the damage was done before Covid, and if we were still in the EU the huge immigration in the channel would not be happening.
