They're graduates who could've worked in the UK, is the extent of the
implication, otherwise they wouldn't've been drainage.

There's a vast number who come to UK to study. Are they counting the
ones who return after qualifying?

Standing room only in these parts.

Incidentally all the talk of being at Schiphol 4 hours before check in
was rubbish. KLM etc. provided staff to help people with forms and
there were vast queues or delays.

"""
More than 1.44 million graduates have left the UK to look for more
highly paid jobs in countries such as the United States, Canada and
Australia.
"""
(ibid.)

Is your "vast number" > (say) 50,000? If not, it's not even a drop in
the 1.44 million ocean, is it?
