"Immigration is the most important factor currently determining how people say they’ll vote in the referendum, and the argument that Brexit will stop “uncontrolled immigration” is being used with increasing frequency, most notably by Boris Johnson. But, as far as I can see, either the leave campaigners misunderstand the impact Brexit would have or they have decided to wilfully mislead us."

In all honesty, the country is so cumbersome and bureaucratic I'll be surprised if anything is agreed.
But they pissed everyone here off, so now they are in decline.
Trump is a loser.
The reports I have heard suggest that May has provided less arduous routes for some skilled Indian workers to enter the UK, and is prepared to make further concessions if the Indian authorities will be more co-operative in taking back those in the UK illegally, which is encouraging. Hopefully a few more meetings with other world leaders and trade ministers, all or most of whom will want concessions on visas as part of future trade negotiations, will encourage May to adopt a little more flexibility (and quietly feed the Cameron target through a shredder.) It will most likely mean that the numbers won't come down as much as many people would like, but what it will do is reduce disquiet about the mass entry of low skilled workers into the UK labour market, and the impression that this causes unwelcome competition for low paying jobs, rented property and public services, particularly in more economically distressed communities.

Roger/Tyson last thread - I think some Brexiteers are the nastier kind of nationalist and nearly all nasty nationalists are Brexiteers. But one shouldn't generalise beyond that. The instinct to control your destiny more effectively by national sovereignty is entirely understandable, even if (as I personally think) it's largely illusory in today's world.
Not naming any outsource firms but take your pick....
This is exactly the sort of deal we should be doing!
To go even further, one thing I suggested previously on here would be for the NHS to open medical colleges / teaching hospitals in places like Mumbai and Manila, working to British educational standards with lower local costs, and able to offer work places in the UK for the cream of the graduates while providing free or subsidised treatment to the local populations. Another win/win.
I have my own pet theory, which is that distaste for the English is so ingrained in left-wing thinking that it is expressed freely without any conscious thought. Have you noticed, for example, how Wales is almost always conveniently forgotten when distressed Remain-supporting commentators lash out at stereotypical Leave voters and Leave-voting areas, even though the Welsh also decided that they had had enough of the EU?
Voters are not deaf, dumb and stupid. They pick up on the fact that the Labour leadership is dominated by people who celebrated those who sought to murder us (some of those nastier kinds of nationalist I mentioned earlier) and they turn their backs on it in droves accordingly. Given this and other facts, it's small wonder that Labour is so comprehensively fucked in the majority of England, now is it?
I really dislike English nationalists...Brexit for instance.. and I despise Trump, Le Pen, Grillo, the Serbs under Milosevic, Hitler, Mussolini...and the Scots and Welsh nationalists.
You are all narrow minded bigots who do not see the bigger picture...some of you are simply more extreme than others...but nationalism is the problem in my book.
Addressing the American people from her office in Buckingham Palace, the Queen said that she was making the offer “in recognition of the desperate situation you now find yourselves in.”
“This two-hundred-and-forty-year experiment in self-rule began with the best of intentions, but I think we can all agree that it didn’t end well,” she said.
The Queen urged Americans to write in her name on Election Day, after which the transition to British rule could begin “with a minimum of bother.”

"A study earlier this year by YouGov and the political scientist Philip Cowley found that telling voters they will be better or worse off by as little as £10 a week, was enough to alter the outcome of both the Scottish referendum and the upcoming EU referendum. Interestingly, the actual amount of theoretical monetary loss or gain made little difference. All that mattered was the idea that voting one way or another would hit voters' pockets."
Hmm....

Incidentally, there's was a riveting 10 minute interview featuring former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani just after the start of Lou Dobbs Tonight on the Fox Business Channel yesterday as linked to below and well worth watching. I can't imagine that anything remotely as strong as this would ever be allowed on our TV networks.
Not that we'd ever be allowed have a right of centre broadcaster in the first place.

Nobody is ever guaranteed £10, and the vast majority of people assume things will get worse regardless.
The US says it is "deeply concerned" about the electoral process in Nicaragua a day after Daniel Ortega, the left-wing leader, won a third consecutive presidential term.

Just sayin'....
Personally, I regard myself as patriotic rather than nationalist. I do not take a "my country, right or wrong" attitude and nor do I consider it to be inherently superior to all others, but I do reserve the right to regard it as both special and worth preserving. Make of that what you will.
The fact that you can watch this kind of baloney and would want something in the UK says something about you quite frankly...
Would you want a radical left mainstream TV presence? Silly me....people like you already think that is the BBC. What a numpty I am.
But that's an aside. Nothing new has happened. Even the A50 court case is largely theatrics. From the very beginning by allowing leapfrogging and clearering Supreme Court diaries in December they have stuck to May's original timetable. It was May not the courts who extended the deadline to March 31st in her Conference interview. It's hardly surprising the poor woman has bought us a few extra months to sort through this clusterfuck**k but fundamentally nothing has happened. IMHO the courts are helping here by allowing frothers to ignore the fact it's the government who is voluntarily delaying things.
The whole issue is in hiatus until we have a government policy on the Big Ticket stuff. In the meantime we just have to wait. Let the devaluation work through to inflation. Let the complexities refuse to go away. Let them own it a few more months. Let the poison work through the body politic a bit further. Let the bed wetting liberal Brexiters sweat a bit. We'll see what the state of play is in mid January when no one has been paid yet and everything is grimly the same as it was. As it was always going to be.
