UK’s total of EU citizens dropped by only 12,000 last year – out of 6 million

We explode the myth of the great exodus of EU nationals ‘due to Brexit’

Facts4EU.Org looks at the latest net EU immigration figures issued by the Home Office

Official figures show that the net outflow of EU nationals was just 12,000, in the last 12 months for which figures are available. Compared with the almost six million EU citizens officially resident in the UK, this is a drop in the ocean.

Facts4EU.Org presents the official numbers from the UK Home Office which clearly show that the dire warning of a mass exodus of EU nationals following Brexit was yet another myth.

Brexit Facts4EU.Org Summary

UK Home Office data – resident EU nationals compared with net outflow

  • EU nationals resident in the UK : 5,909,800
  • Net outflow, 12 months to end-June 2021 : 12,000
  • Net outflow as percentage of total : 0.2%

Wait – the story gets even more interesting

Priti Patel’s Home Office has something called “The EU Settlement Scheme”, with the somewhat unfortunate acronym of ‘EUSS’.

Facts4EU.Org has analysed the statistics on this EUSS to see if the tiny net drop in immigration of EU nationals matched the numbers denied residence for whatever reason.

The answer is an emphatic “No”.

  • Refused : 306,300
  • Withdrawn or void : 133,000
  • Invalid : 124,600
  • TOTAL applications not accepted : 563,900

What the above analysis shows is that if the 306,300 EU nationals whose applications were refused had all left the country, we should be seeing a much larger drop in net EU immigration than only 12,000 people.

Observations

A dirty word?

Immigration is a topic that can get you banned – or ‘shadow-banned’ - from social media platforms. Newspapers didn’t want to touch the subject, except in general terms. Even today we know that articles by their journalists about immigration are subject to special editorial controls.

When it comes to the ‘open borders’ advocates who seem to prevail in our TV broadcast organisations such as the BBC, Sky News, and ITN, the word ‘refugees’ is still used, even when it is wholly inappropriate.

Facts4EU.Org continued publishing on the subject – despite the risks

Immigration – illegal or legal – is a topic of interest to millions of ordinary people across the country. This is why we have researched and published numerous reports about the subject over the years.

Our report today is limited to the topic of EU nationals. Readers will have been told of a mass exodus from our shores and the reason given is of course ‘Brexit’. With our report showing a net outflow of only 12,000 EU nationals from an overall total of almost six million in the country, we have exploded another myth.

More reports on other aspects of immigration

We would like to bring readers further information about immigration. In particular we want to update our reports on illegal Channel crossings, as well as on the continued overall population growth as a result of legal immigration. Some of this is not yet in the public domain in any meaningful sense.

Any readers this Sunday who are able to part-sponsor these new reports can do so anonymously or choose to be credited at the bottom of the articles. If you are happy to be credited after you have made a donation, simply tell us. Otherwise we will assume you prefer to be anonymous.

The level of immigration into the United Kingdom this century is of epic proportions. We believe the full story must be told.

Facts4EU.Org needs you today

We are a 'not for profit' team (we make a loss) and any donation goes towards the actual work, not plush London offices, lunch or taxi expenses, or other luxuries of some organisations.

Your donation stays anonymous unless you tell us otherwise.

If you value reports like the one above, please help our work with a donation. We have far more to do in researching, publishing, campaigning and lobbying Parliament than we have in terms of the financial resources to fulfil these tasks.
