This is about the UK leaving the EU; so of course it's about the UK only! The mere fact that one country alone comprises just under half of the migration numbers when compared to the EU alone makes it silly to try and make it look otherwise.

Don't talk to me of Greece. Greece was on a very different course from the current one when it entered the Euro. All it has done is bring a country that was fine to its knees. The problems it had before were few; very few indeed. But when it entered the Eurozone, its problems multiplied under the ineptitude of the European Central Bank. Even now, their solutions falter. Surely, there is a better way? That is a Greek way, and works for Greece, not a German way - that may work for Germany, but not for Greece.

Admittedly, I can't find the original source which said that - but that figure alone disputes your wild claims.
