#4  Britain is losing people who have the money to move abroad. I presume they are: educated, or business owners, or wealthy.

Britain is gaining two-fold people who: Dont speak the language, don't have technical skills, don't know what the hell toilet paper is for.

How can that be good?

#2  At the rate they are losing native British, they will have a real problem in the future.

I wonder about that phrase? Remember in 1776 ALL the people here in America were "British".
(Yes I'm ignoring the Spanish and French to make a point)Britian "Lost" them all.
All were "Lost" to the empire.
