Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Just this minute witnessed the ludicrous spectacle of a remainer Tory, Anna Soubry, taking a LABOUR politician (John Mann, a troglodytic throwback if ever there was one) to task over the mythology of an EU immigration problem. He's up for a customs union but not for the single market, because he thinks that would be selling out the people who voted leave who would then have to "endure" free movement (of those people who keep our NHS on the road, clean our hotels, keep our restaurants afloat, pick our crops in freezing fields and wipe old people's bottoms at four in the morning). That immigration problem. In other words, he'd rather play politics than advocate solutions that are plainly in the interests of this country. And that's two bloody Tories I've praised in two days. I'm questioning my own sanity.
