  • Has Brexit made UK a more tolerant nation?

    From prospectmagazine.co.uk

    Brexit did not have a single cause, but immigration was the primary one. The Blair government’s decision to allow immediate free movement from countries that joined the EU in 2004 and 2007 supercharged the issue. In 1997, just 2 per cent of people told the pollster Ipsos MORI that immigration was one of the main issues facing the country. By December 2007 it was 46 per cent. This gave Ukip, a party that had been fruitlessly campaigning against the EU for some time, a platform. It came second in the 2009 European elections. By 2015, immigration from the EU was outstripping that from the rest of the world and David ... (full story)

Immigration is not the major problem. The problems lie in the fact that Govt. use immigration to cut back on nurse and doctor training in the Uk by poaching nurses and other health care workers from overseas. Same applies to apprenticeships for plumbers, carpenters and other trades - the Govt. slashes apprenticeships ( The type where the young person is indentured for four years) in favour of poaching overseas tradesmen. Now we have a shortage of both and Boris thinks he can suddenly supply 5000 Doctors who will be trained in the UK. He forgets it takes some years to train doctors and tradesmen. But he probably knows but he promises great things and delivers little. He was taught rhetoric at Eton -how to sound good and be persuasive but forgets he has to deliver or people might suspect he is all piss and wind.

Because of brexit does that make us the most intolerant country in the world?
"Compared to where?" (Doug Murray)
This "immigration" argument has simmered for decades and we will be at the same level of resolution on the topic when I die as it was when I was born.
The end.

The human cost of Brexit has in many cases had a deep and negative effect on over 5mio people - both the 1.3 mio British in EU and the 3.5 mio EU citizens (3.5) in UK, whos lives and families have been impacted. It has certainly widely damaged Britain's reputation among the almost 500mio citizens of EU/EEA.
The flipside of the tolerance issue raised above is some qualitatie dimension on the impact of Brexit on British Citizens in EU.

New research from Migzen makes for predictably depressing reading
