The great con of #Brexit was #Farage convincing a nation that ending freedom of movement would stop them having to live next door to anyone from Eastern #Europe, as well as Black & Brown people. None of this happened.
If anything, the #UK lost millions from northern & central Europe, to be replaced by migrants from #Africa & #Asia. Businesses who relied of cheap seasonal minimum wages EU workers collapsed overnight, hence the floodgates opening to the southern hemisphere.
