>The UK had found a profitable niche as the transatlantic hub of finance and commerce, and threw it out the window in a fit of nativist pique over the wrong languages being spoken on street corners.
But we’ve imported millions of people that speak different languages since 2015 , why hasn’t line gone up?
I think this is sarcasm, but just to spell it out: this is a causation/correlation fallacy. Immigration is a result of global trade, not its cause. Brexit killed the trade part without actually doing anything about immigration policy.
The incredibly stupid part of all this is that the conservative government insisted on wrecking the trade side because reducing immigration was deemed more important, and then entirely voluntarily issued a lot of work permits.
(without even getting into the more obligatory areas of immigration like refugees and marriages)
