Re: Brexit

I actually quite like the xenophobic arguments for Brexit. At least they’re honest about not liking foreigners, despite the economic fact that EU migrants are net contributors to society. Indeed, if any party wanted to they could have operated greater controls on both EU and non-EU migration but didn’t.

The “great trade deals” arguments are generally dishonest, but at least the xenophobes generally front up about their ignorance. It’s quite refreshing in a way.
