Of those who left the UK last year, 196,000 were British citizens while 189,000 were "long-term migrants" who had been living in the UK for more than a year.

And according to the Migration Research Unit at University College London, it is the number of non-Britons, or the "turnover population", that has pushed up the figures for those leaving.

Isn't 196,000 citizens still a heck of a lot?

‘Isn’t 196,000 citizens still a heck of a lot?’

Less than 0.3 of a percent? Doesn’t seem high to me, especially when you consider that Brits can work legally anywhere in EU and many tens of thousands retire to Spain every month.

Do you know how many people are leaving the US?
