BORIS Johnson was quizzed over whether Brexit would result in an increased number of visas made available to Indian workers in hopes of securing a deal with New Delhi.
Tory MP Sir Edward Leigh questioned the Prime Minister over immigration policies and possible Brexit trade deals with India. Sir Edward told Boris Johnson that working-class Brexit voters did not want more immigration from other countries outside of Europe after voting for the UK to regain control of its borders. Mr Johnson leapt to his feet with a rebuttal to explain that the Government will not relax rules to entice Indian workers to come to the UK.
Sir Edward said: "Apparently, the Government is thinking of relaxing visa controls from India in order to get a free trade deal.
"Whilst a free trade deal is valuable in itself, we should not be held to ransom.
"Would he agree with me that our new working-class voters who voted for Brexit did not vote to replace immigration from Europe with more immigration from the rest of the world?

Mr Johnson said: "Yes, yes Mr... I don't recognise the account he's given at all, we don't do free trade deals on that basis.
"And I can tell him, actually that net immigration since we took back control has gone down Mr Speaker.

The UK has a Deep State, too.
And it’s every bit as pernicious as ours is...
Their government doesn’t care what the people want. The deep state gets what it wants no matter who the people vote in or vote out. That’s how it works.
And since the deep state doesn’t like how you vote, the deep state has decided to replace you with foreign invaders.
Brexit has turned into “Poles out! Pakis in!”
Indians aren’t Pakis...there’s a *big* difference.
The State is a crime syndicate that exists for its own benefit only. Third worlders understand and accept this.

“Apparently, the Government is thinking of relaxing visa controls from India in order to get a free trade deal.”
Then it’s not ‘free’ is it?
I could share a couple of experiences that I’ve had, but I’ll choose to just leave it at that.
The "Deep State" is a trans-national oligarchy with plans to establish Global Neo-Feudalism by 2030 ...
it would be free trade then, with lowering or elimination of tariffs
I think ‘Brexit voters’ like myself have a problem with uncontrolled waves of immigration coming in, regardless of their skills, culture or even whether or not they are criminals or extremisits.
Legal visas for skilled Indians aren’t a problem for most people.
We just want the dingies stopped and the pseudo-refugees deported along with the criminals and terrorists who come here whom idiot judges often refuse to deport because human rights.
