Dumb xenophobic, racist, populist rhetoric will always lead to self destructive consequences like this. My country disgusts me on so many levels.the U.K. is taking the express train straight to HELL and more disasters await us!
I'm afraid I cannot disagree with you. Listening to one of those talk show radio shows this afternoon -Little Englanders exorcised that 5000 EU lorry and tanker drivers will be coming to work temporarily in the UK to help them out. The only questions they wanted to ask were "Where are these people going to live?" and "When are they going to return home?" An Eastern or Central European lorry driver phoned in to say how badly he was treated by his work colleagues.Dumb xenophobic, racist, populist rhetoric will always lead to self destructive consequences like this.

I've been hearing about this on various YouTube videos today too. Apparently the total number of visas (5000) will be approximately half of what a major supermarket alone, has said they will require to just barely manage.I'm afraid I cannot disagree with you.

I doubt people here will have an epiphany sadly. We seem to be going through a bafflingly enthusiastic episode of self harm as a country. Doing obviously dumb things that are self defeating seems to be a matter of national pride right now. Also airing your narrow minded hateful views has become worryingly acceptable. It's like "V for Vendetta" is coming true!I'm in Northern Ireland and my only hope is that people in England have had an epiphany and not vote for these people again. Vote for another party, it doesn't have to be labour, or don't vote at all and take their power away, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
1 of our 2 main parties in Northern Ireland believes homosexuality is a sin and should be illegal. They also believe in creationism. So I know all about hateful/dumb views! I'm a Protestant and most Protestants vote for them. Not me though!I doubt people here will have an epiphany sadly.

Do you think all of this will eventually be reversed if a new party gets in? I think the relationships with Europe have been ruined foreverI doubt people here will have an epiphany sadly.

I might also be able to get an EU passport but I think it might not be as simple as it used to be :-(1 of our 2 main parties in Northern Ireland believes homosexuality is a sin and should be illegal.

They helped pushes Brexit through as well without caring about the consequences for us. But I got my Irish passport recently and I'm so happy I did. I think I'd be embarrassed to show my U.K. one if I went abroad!
