Net migration is the difference between those foreign nationals entering the UK and the foreign nationals AND indigenous Brits leaving the UK.
Those leaving the UK are immaterial; we should be focusing on the number coming here and not those leaving, over which there is not a shred of control.
What's plain is that there simply aren't enough Brits leaving the UK for Australia, Canada and New Zealand. If the government could just persuade more Brits to leave the UK, then the net migration figures wouldn't look so bad.
Actually, they're doing a sterling job of persuading more to leave.

Indeed they are, but the economic 'refugees' from S.Asia are welcome but not the real refugees from our recent interferences or AGW.
