Very strange why we have not heard anything lately regarding the African migration to Europe.

Have we seen an end to it?

Strange also that since immigration was the main reason for the referendum, immigration does not seem to have been discussed during the Party Conferences.

But it is being discussed by the Brexit negotiators.
"since immigration was the main reason for the referendum"
Was it?
Who says?
Found this from a few days ago, but may not be what you're after.

Presumably AOG's main reason.
we hear about immigration on an almost daily basis from you, aog; isn't that enough?
a. Because the Media editors have decided to concentrate on other issues.
b. No.
c. Not for me, it wasn't.
You can thank French President Emmanuel Macron, but I'm sure you won't.

Most migrants were leaving from Libya which had been in chaos since we encouraged their Arab Spring in 2011. But good old Macron, as soon as he was elected, brokered a ceasefire between various warring factions in Libya, some of whom were funding their war by trafficking migrants. The Italian navy have been given permission to enter Libyan waters, and smuggling through the western Sahara has also been tackle.
The problem hasn't been completely solved, but it is a good step in the right direction.

Thanks Mamyalynne and Gromit for your very interesting links.

Gromit, I would have though such good news as that would have been more widely publicised, seeing that it was beginning to be quite a problem?

And Mamyalynne your link is frightening and I hope we won't be lured into taking part of that 50,000 in, while we are still officially members of that frightening union?

// and I hope we won't be lured into taking part of that 50,000 in,//

yeah they are all coming near to you soon AOG
so get voting again or something
