The Poles have been heading back to Poland in droves. A proportion settled here but many have and are returning.
This is correct - but then Poland has had decades of solid growth since it joined the EU. Its GDP per capita is now 80% of the level in the UK. With average house prices about half that of the UK it is much more attractive for Poles who’ve been living in the UK. Overall a huge success story - million or so Poles came to the UK, found work, paid taxes, spent money here … and, yes, saved and sent money back to Poland. Poland grows into a proper first world country, gains wealth and the Poles in the UK return. Win-win. At least while the UK was in the EU.
The EU helped to make the UK a third world country, hence the Poles leaving. I can’t speak for anywhere else but there were lots of Polish around Doncaster but the open door policy allowed lots of Bulgarians, Romanians and others to flood into Doncaster and Rotherham. The Polish hated the Bulgarians and Romanians and many street battles broke out between different races.
There are still many no go areas as well as lots of sex gangs operating that police daren’t approach for fear of being called racist. So thanks to Angela Merkel and the EU you’ve turned Doncaster and Rotherham into a Sh$thole after once being the most productive area in England…I suppose I could always move to France…
so what about Brexit? it’s been ten years and the population keeps growing. It’s not down to the falling birth rate.

Patently not true. Since we left the UK growth has suffered and our standing in the world has fallen. And be honest, the towns you mention have been pretty grim since the demise of large scale industry - and you can look much closer to home for the cause of that. In fact you just have to look at the title of this thread.

There have been 9 Prime Ministers since Mrs Thatcher with three of them being Labour, so are you saying that none of those nine could not sort out the UK?
Well only one truly sold the UK down the river, out of the EU and into medocrity.
What about mediaocricty ?
what about whataboutism?
Is that about boxing?
Let’s face it none of them have. In fact at least one has made the country poorer and they gave him a knighthood and a job as foreign secretary

Yup. I remember around Brexit my Polish next door neighbour, a doctor left after Brexit, but was happening before…but the whole debate about immigration have pushed people like her away - EXACTLY the people we need!

Its probably a case of six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Henry The Green Engine certainly uncoupled the runaway train of Brexit. Maybe we need to drag The Titfield Thunderbolt out of the museum to get back on track and lead us into the station!
Really?
Don’t state as fact, whilst a situation is still unfolding

Yes, really.
I could share an article that confirms 11,000 scientists warn of accelerated climate problems. Which is ten more than you’ve come up with.
But I prefer the below bit of fact checking about your 1,100 so called scientists signing a so called declaration. It was all fake, sorry.

So what’s happened to all the British Doctors?
They’re probably at university getting qualifications in Media studies, advertising or textile design…Because there’s more money in it and it’s easier.
Quite a few go off to America, Canada, Australia or New Zealand. The NHS has been ground down for so long that a career there looks like underpaid endless frustrations. That is a decision made by the 2010-2022 Tory government to reduce funding to the NHS…
Edit - I’m aware of the problems here in France due to the government wrongly reducing the numbers of medical students a couple of decades ago. This means so called doctor deserts in some places where the coverage of doctors and dentists is too low. So I checked to see what happens in the UK. Yes, there are caps on students doing medicine and dentistry. Perhaps some of the problems start here?
