The great retreat: Before Brexit, up to a million Romanians came to the UK to work as cleaners and builders… now nearly 40,000 are leaving each year to escape crime, the crumbling NHS and the cost of living

There are lots of Romanians who came here to work as doctors, nurses, managers, engineers etc. But that wouldn’t fit the Daily Mail narrative, would it.
Fun to see them switching attention to slating the UK instead of the immigrants though. Almost as if Farage would benefit enormously from a general negative sentiment.
So the Faage project to destroy UK was a success is what this article is saying!
Good work for Russian money?
Brexit supporters will see this as a victory. It’s exactly what they wanted, isn’t it? The Mail included
this can’t be a serious story, you think that Romania is less lawless than the UK, and has a better standard of living?
We ended FoM and they now pursue other EU options without having to get a visa/permit. Simple.
So what they’re saying is that this is a victory for Brexit because they’ve made the UK so shit that nobody wants to stay here anymore
It is a strategy.
Pretty soon Brits will be heading overseas to do cleaning jobs in those countries as the cost of living gets to high here.
But wasn’t this exactly what the daily mail was campaigning for?
The Daily Mail is presenting this disastrous Britain as something that only just began last year as a product of the Labour government. When in actual fact it’s very much a product of the 15 years of the previous Conservative governments, their incredibly damaging Brexit, serial policy failure, unprecedented austerity cuts, monumental economic incompetence and epic chaos and corruption.
Reading the daily mail has always been a comical experience.
R NHS is always “crumbling”, headlines during the Blair era were also that it is “one flu crisis away from collapsing” etc. It is its normal perception.
Daily Heil: Use Immigrants entering UK to attack government.
Also Daily Heil: Use Immigrants leaving UK to attack government.
Why does the daily mail get to be posted here? Its such an extremist inaccurate compromised rag it can’t possibly still be considered news
Ohh noooo a people that are our 3rd most jailed non-British are leaving… whatever will we do
Some fun data here tbh like how Black people are 12% of the prison population yet 4% of the British population.
Muslims make up 18% of inmates despite being only 7% of th population

i dunno guys, my naive uncle started a farm in romania and as soon as the crops ripened, the locals helped themselves over night. he was left with the shirt taken off his back and the police told him nothing could be done. i’m gonna stay in olde blighty.
The great retreat… that we spent over 15 years campaigning for.
I would put money on the reason for leaving being largely incorrect. I am sure they have saved up enough to return home and live very comfortably for a while. I work in a well paid factory with a lot of Romanian & Polish guys. Over the past few years they have slowly started returning home after having funded the building of new houses for themselves in their home countries. For most of them this was the plan from the start. Quite a few have decided to stay and settle down here though after starting families, with no intention of returning home.
It’s funny how immigration is collapsing yet we’re not any richer and homes aren’t more available and affordable, it’s almost like Reform are talking bollocks
Isn’t this what the Daily Mail wanted and told us to vote for?
It’s not cuz of brexit but their country economy doing better or being able to go to richer countries happens the same in Spain they are leaving
Is it because of Brexit, or because wages have increased by ‘700%’ in Romania over the past 10 years? It’s not easy to be away from your own culture, family and friends, and if life has become easier in your home country some will definitely return regardless.
