Nobody will ever sell Britain out quite like the Far Right will.
It's amazing how keen they were to "get our country back", only to gift wrap it and hand it over to dictators and bullies.
Traitors with itchy fists and very poor impulse control.

Since Brexit, we effectively swapped hundreds of thousands of EU immigrants for non-EU immigrants.
But although all immigrants on average make a positive contribution to government coffers, not all contribute equally.
For each EU to non EU immigrant swap, Britain has effectively foregone £50,000.
