Because there is a martial law prohibiting men from 18-60 from leaving the Ukraine.

Believe it or not but I know about this.

The question was how would women and children migrants get here without men. So I answered with the example of Ukrainian refugees, who managed just fine.

There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that the people who are coming in and working as delivery drivers were actually neuroscientists in their own country and just waiting to get an appropriate job here. What the data actually says is that they are low skilled workers.

My original point that you quoted was that many do but are taking low skilled jobs until they secure a higher paying one that utilises their skills better.

How did Ukrainians managed this? escaping real war? I believe there were almost exclusively women, children and elderly

that's impressive stats, thank you for sharing.

So in a year we lost 111k 16-34yo, the exact demographics every country wants to attract. I can bet it's not NEETs leaving the UK.

Anecdotally, my DCs former classmates, now mostly doing A-levels at top selective private schools, are all considering leaving and going to unis abroad. These kids are amongst the very brightest in the country

I didn't say all immigrants are 'scrounging criminals', but the attitudes towards women, girls and the rapes and attacks aren't filling me with optimism. We have enough home grown problematic men to begin with without facilitating even more of them. Can't we have women and small children instead?

ruffler45 · 27/11/2025 15:21

Depends on who has left and who has arrived?

I doubt the government knows...

Why let facts get in the way of a racist generalisation?

smallglassbottle · Today 14:30

So we're swapping skilled people for unskilled, possibly criminal people who may or may not pay tax and who cost the country money anyway.

ie. All immigrants are scrounging criminals

YABU for saying "It won't be shouted about in the news" - I usually have 24hr news or radio on as 'background noise' when at home. It's been on every single summary, hourly report etc. There is no conspiracy to hide such news.

GentleOlive · 27/11/2025 15:17

203k is an insanely high number. But because the public has been conditioned to be shit on by those in power and then have an ice cold bucket of water poured over them and left out in -2c, the public is stupid enough to fall for ‘good news’ stories like this. 900k people came into the country last year, mostly low skilled, bogus students and some high skilled. On the other hundreds of thousands of high skilled, high paid locals left because of the state of this country and the constant assault on them for actually working and paying their way. Imagine that, 900k immigration.

In other real news though, asylum applications hit a record number. Yippeee.

Yes, it's depressing. Let's hope the future population see fit to not only contribute to the country, but also preserve its historical sites, countryside and wildlife. Although, Labour are planning on trashing those anyway, so they'll beat them to it I guess.

Many immigrants have high skills . They are qualified to do the high skill jobs. Many do low skilled jobs because they need to eat. They do not lose those skills when they take a temporary job. So when the job becomes available they can do it because they have the skills.

I am not sure I can make it any simpler for you.

So a UK doctor leaves and a low skilled immigrant can just upskill themselves?
You really don't understand the demographics here. I am out now. But yeh sure it's really easy to replace all of the highly skilled + high earners who are leaving UK. Their jobs can just be filled my newly arrived immigrants. Problem solved!
I give up.

If the immigrant has the skills as they come over (which many do) and the job becomes vacant because of the incumbent emigrated the job at that pay scale is still there for the immigrant to do and be paid for. Unless you are suggesting that immigrants should not be paid the same for the same job....

Yes. I wonder why the BBC didn't include this in their report? Net migration going down is good news but if a significant part of that is talented Brits leaving and taking their assets with them, then it's bad news.

Having nearly a million NEETS who we have to pay benefits to while swapping skilled Brits for low skilled migrants is bad news and the govt need to get a grip.
