    my view is that immigration on the scale we have seen, does harm to the quality of life of the people in London and the SE in temrs of housing, access to essential services, massive costs of infrastructure etc.

    London saw it differently to you and so voted to remain.

    London has had significant investment in things like infrastructure.

    It makes it easier to cope with large changes in population numbers.

    Places like Boston/East of England have not had the same level of investment, and the signs of strain were clear to the people. They voted to Leave.

    Personally, I think you need a plan to cope with hundreds of thousands of new arrivals each year. You need to be able to direct significant funds to boost local resources before people come, in the areas where it is needed.

    what is the wonder of democracy

    London is about 40% foreign born so probably wouldn't share my view as to what is best for the people born in the UK

    Exactly; the problem isn't migrants, it's our governments unwillingness to provide the infrastructure we need.
