On 24 June 2016, the day after the referendum, the Daily Mail warned that Brexit would lead to huge numbers of Poles leaving the UK.

Yesterday, the Daily Mail posted a piece moaning about the number of Poles who've left the UK.

In between, they published hundreds of articles attacking immigrants.

🙄 It’s the hypocrisy that sticks the most. The Daily Mail spent years attacking all migrants including Poles, they fought and gaslit the public to get Brexit over the line. Now they complain about the state of the country after cheering on its decline. Vile!
2016 Daily Mail: We want foreigners out! We don’t care if it makes us poorer. Brexit means Brexit!

2025 Daily Mail: Foreigners are leaving Starmer’s Britain because this country is poor and shit!

This country would be so much better off without this hypocritical, incendiary, irresponsible rag.

“Every bit of data shows that immigrants provide a healthy contribution to our economy, providing far more in return than they claim on benefits. So the statement is not only poisonous, it is factually wrong in its implications.”

Is the tide turning? New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog. Renewed talk of a customs union may well come to nothing, but rapidly changing geo-politics mean the UK needs urgently to face up to the failure of the entire Brexit ‘strategy’: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/12/is-t...

An interesting read, prompting the question why have the very elderly had such dominance in American politics recently?

And specifically, #Trump is clearly unfit to be President, both mentally and physically. What legitimate steps are being taken to remove him?

I'm not kidding: I reported on this FOUR YEARS AGO in "The Decade In Tory"

It also contained the entire COVID Inquiry (cost: £200m). And every single Brexit mistake (£140bn per year).

And it's £2.50 on Amazon.
