India demands more visas for nurses and care workers as price for free trade deal
I mean... The UK wants more nurses and care workers right? Why would it say no?
Because it's toxic for the type of brexiteers who objected to the EU because it meant there were more foreigners in the country. Even "worse", these people will mostly be visible minorities.
This is a crucial constituency for the Conservative party.
People were warned in the run up that we'd have to bring in workers from somewhere and if not the EU then probably the commonwealth. I personally wasn't bothered as I feel more kinship with West Indians and Indians than most people in the EU based on my life experience.
Exactly. And let's not also forget the Labour majority in the red wall that voted for Brexit. Equally abhorrent.
Because Brexiters are irrational. I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
I would much rather have relied on the workforce of the EU than selling our country off to the lowest common denominator.
That's pretty racist my friend. Why is your assumption that Indians are, in your words, the "lowest common denominator"?
That's a pretty outdated way to think.
We were relying on medical staff from India and the West Indies long before we joined the EU and freedom of movement began. Should we not have good relations with our own commonwealth?
You'd rather rely on the economic group you exited than the country you colonized?
