"Keeping foreigners out of Britain was the sole objective of Brexit - it was its raison d'être - it had no other purpose"

Sorry Jim, but that's completely wrong.

The sole purpose of Brexit was, and is, to allow a small number of immensely wealthy individuals, families, and businesses to avoid becoming subject to the EU Anti-Tax-Avoidance and Evasion regulations which come into force in, IIRC, May 2019, and which would, amongst other things, make them pay tax in the country in which their income and profits are earned.

The rabidly xenophobic Leave campaign was the carefully thought-out tool which those with everything to gain from Leaving used to persuade the easily-influenced, the feeble minded, the disenfranchised, and the Union-Flag-wavers - those with little or nothing to gain - to vote for a result which would guarantee the ability of that small cadre of immensely wealthy people to continue their Tax-Avoidance activities.

The fact that the end of March 2019 is the date set for our departure from the EU is no coincidence, it is essential in order that those who drove, and are still driving, the Leave campaign - the tax-exiles (some not even British!) and tax-avoiding businessmen who give the Tory Party its instructions, and who gave Haddock-Face, Bozo, and Gove The Little Scottish Viper their direction in the Leave campaign - are able to continue to avoid paying taxes in this country on their vast earnings in this country.

Never, in the field of U.K. Politics, have so many been so successfully deceived by so few.
