The dream held by the Brexiters seems to be well and truly dead.

Excuse me? Didn’t they get to hurt brown people a little bit? I thought that was the whole reason they were so enthusiastic about losing so much

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 33 points 1 year ago

Not just brown people but also Eastern Europeans. You know, the ones that kept their shit going over there.

Polish people aren’t brown

They're just more polished

They helped them to recolate to other countries that actually appreciate their hard work.

That's a silver lining I hadn't known about! Glad to hear it. The most vulnerable of us rarely receive any support when the fear-mongering flares.

I still don't wish burden upon those who supported Brexit despite the evidence suggesting it wouldn't work in their favor. At least they didn't get to cause as much pain to migrant workers as they may have intended. Ugh. Some people's kids.

Depends which brown. They facilitated immigration from India and Pakistan.

the immigration the current minister wants to stiffle with tougher laws, acknowledging that her family wouldn't have been able to migrate to Britain under these new laws?

If i understand correctly they just want people to come to work for cheap but not actually immigrate or have a perspective in Britain.

True and from anywhere outside the EU effectively.

Sorry, but this is just divisive bullshit. They also got blue passports.
