    To summarise, highly skilled and well educated migrants who come here to fill well identified skills shortages are welcome. This is the Australian type system where you get points for education, English ability, professional qualifications and working experience. You are also background checked as best as possible for criminal record, you need professional references and you undergo health checks and tests to prevent known issues. All good, even if said persons are coming to take IT jobs.
    So thousands of highly skilled and well educated migrants come to the UK and take those jobs, what is there left for all those highly skilled and educated indigenous people?

    As it is, many of the highly skilled and well educated people from abroad who would have migrated, won't now due to (a) the way that their press has portrayed the British as racists who don't like foreigners and (b) their economies are on the up and so their skills are required in their own countries and they're being remunerated for them. There will be some, but not many.
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Well they must be doing something as large swaths of middle-class, middle England are not unemployed.

        The more intelligent, hard working people there are the more economic activity there is. The more economic activity there is the more jobs are created.
