"No-one has suggested stopping all immigration."
Within days of Brexit being announced, people of an obviously non-English background were being approached in the street and asked when they were "going home"
The number of racist incidents rocketed
The Uksick poster depicted "hordes" of beturbaned, robed, non-white immigrants queuing up to enter Britain - our resident ultra-right bigot has extended that to include the Slavs.
Brexit was sold to the British people on the "lets stop immigration" ticket - the banks and commerce all opposed it on economic grounds - there was no other articulate argument put forward other than to stop immigration.

You people have been so blinder by your Little Engladism that you haven't even begun to address the practical problems Brexit has brought about
A month or so ago, The Bank of England issued a statement declaring that the basic standard living of people in Britain (real people - not entrepreneurs, bankers and the elite) will continue to be effected adversely for at least a decade
Add to that the possibility of those working in Europe having to return home and join the already considerable dole queues.... economic and social chaos
Mind you - this might be relived a little by the extra employees needed to process those we might have to deport!!
"Oh to be in England now that Brexit's here"
