As Brexit doubled immigration:
It led to record race hate crime.
Violent street riots.
The rise of the fascists.
And an explosion of racism.
We'd be foolish not to recognise that Brexit has made the UK a distinctly more unpleasant, racist country.

How Brexit has made studying abroad less accessible
Freedom of movement enriched the lives of many young people before Brexit; it's far more complicated and therefore restricted now

You might consider people who travel about a lot in Europe to be quite “niche” but it brings the UK prosperity to allow proper Freedom of Movement of goods, services, capital and people.
If we are serious about EU membership and mobility then we should be celebrating people who live/work/study/retire across European borders…
Not mocking them, belittling them and saying they’re just “holidaymakers” who deserve Brexit.
EU membership gives people more choices.

When we were in the EU, there were signs all over the place showing how the EU was investing in our towns and regions. And best of all, EU funding was shared out EQUALLY and FAIRLY across all parts of the UK, regardless of which party was in power.

Hillary Clinton warns Trump ‘stupidity’ will leave US ‘feeble and friendless’
Former presidential candidate writes op-ed excoriating Signal leak and White House’s ‘dangerous’ actions
* US politics live – latest updates
Hillary Clinton on Friday called the Trump administration’s approach to governing both dumb and dangerous in an essay excoriating the Signal chat scandal and the Elon Musk-led mission to slash the federal workforce, and concluding that Trump would make the US “feeble and friendless”.
The former secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate wrote an op-ed for the New York Times that has been given the headline: “How much dumber will this get?” and opens: “It’s not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the stupidity.” Continue reading...

So what next? Accept that Freedom of Movement of people is gone forever?
Or do we explain to politicians why mobility matters?
Or do we explain to politicians why mobility matters?
For many years fanatics have been telling us that the FOM of People, Goods, Services and Capital are inseparable and that we were wrong to focus on improving public acceptance of FOM of People.
Unsurprisingly to me, UK and EU look like they may now contemplate Single Market without FOM of People.

In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".
