You are the one making that comparison, not me, and that's only for asylum seekers. Net migration to the UK is still near historic highs, with migration from outside the EU actually increasing, and the predicted exodus of EU migrants far smaller than was forecast. The UK is still a dream destination for many migrants.

For some reason a points based system is deemed OK for Australia etc, but when the UK looks at the same it's not long before the accusations of racism start flying.
