Feb 23, 2016 20:21 Priti Patel, Britain’s minister of state for employment, believes exiting the European Union will provide a “massive boost” to relations with India, “I know that many members of the Indian diaspora find it deeply unfair that other EU nationals effectively get special treatment. This can and will change if Britain leaves the EU.
Haha. Outstanding. Honestly, I am all for political discourse and remaining amicable relations with people of differing backgrounds….
But I believe these people should really go and shut themselves in a quiet room and examine their own selfish motives, and possibly never enter politics again. At all. Not even a bit.
Brexit was very much sold to voters from (or with connections to) the former British Raj as an opportunity to stop immigration from the EU and enable it from India etc. Never mind that “more equal terms” could well mean that the UK reduces immigration from the EU and India because it was always up to the UK how it dealt with immigration the former empire.
Come to think of it some of them must have hated the fact that Indians from Goa (so long as they met the criteria) could have a Portuguese EU passport and the right to live in the UK but their families back in India couldn’t.
Also it was the UK that held-up the EU – India trade deal, primarily because of immigration. Perhaps the EU should be sneaky and offer generous terms to scupper the chances of a UK – India deal?
Wish I could take joy from this.. its like laughing at the brexiter sinking in his boat but sadly you’re held captive on his boat.
Interesting that India asking for something as part of a deal is holding the UK to ransom.
I don’t think ‘penny drop’ is the right term here. He didn’t stumble into that realisation, he clearly had meant to go there but just didn’t realise how short sighted he sounded.
But anyway, yeah, not surprising. I don’t think half the Brexit voters were trying to curb EU immigration since a good number of them were under the impression it would stop immigration blanketly from places *like* India and the rest of Asia.
Has he been artificially reddened? If not he should seek medical help.

You can visibly see when the penny does drop as his face gets more and more red
It’s almost as if….bare with me here….brexit was just a way for THEM to take back control and milk the country of all its money.

When are these stupid right wing cunts going to stop talking about immigration and start talking about WHY we need immigration.
Birth rates are below 2. That means without immigration, our population will decrease and most importantly, the amount of people who are working age will decrease. That is directly caused by the out of control cost of living which has put so many people off having kids.
Also, just maybe look at schools. You cunts cut all the budgets then wonder why we need so many people to come over a do high skilled jobs.
I’m sick to death of politicians acting like these issues just happened. It’s all because of years and years of failing policies and systems which allow a few to succeed and crush the rest.
Removing Brexit shows the truth, the UK NEEDS immigration to prop up our failing society. They can’t hide behind the EU anymore. And they can’t fucking handle the truth either clearly.
I thought that was the point of Brexit though? Make it harder for Europeans to come here, so that more Indians and Africans can come instead? That’s by design and what I had understood Leavers voted for. Obviously the overall migration numbers wouldn’t change, therefore the demographics of them would.
Wow it really seems like he hadn’t considered his speech at all. We’re used to the lying and double speak, but I wasn’t ready for how actually stupid our representatives are.
People were promised all sorts during brexit campaigns, but it should always have been clear that the Tories’ business sponsors do not want to decrease total immigration because a) it’s a lazy way to ‘grow’ the economy and b) cheap labour. Brexit was always going to result in the arrival of more brown people.
The funny part here is that there’s a Tory who’s not in on the joke.
SIR John Redwood – From my interview on GMB:
We knew exactly what we were voting for. It is insulting to say that 17.4 million people were too stupid to know what out would look like……
God, I honestly will never forgive leavers. Maybe that’s not the pluralistic attitude I’m supposed to have but fuck me, they’ve done so much fucking damage just to satiate their racism/nationalism. I despair. I’ve never forgive them
*Someone’s gonna have a stroooooke*
Red faced drunken racist bastard.
He makes a fair point. People didn’t vote for Brexit just to swap one set of immigrants with another.
A talking beetroot. I didn’t know we elected those things to parliament. Looks like it’s about to explode too 🙁 Painful.
This is what you get for letting a Lienz Cossack represent you in trade negotiations
He doesn’t seem to recognise any sense of irony in the clip, just asks his idiotic question and sits back down. Fuckwit.
Its s sensitive argument this one, because it depends on racism as the motive for the Leavers. I feel a little uncomfortable pointing it out to them.
Jeez he looks like he just dipped his head into a nuclear generator
What else are we to offer them? What does Britain export that India wants?
Wasn’t it labelled “Project Fear” to make the obvious observation that if we want favourable trade deals we will have to allow entry for people from those countries?
That’s funny because some people vote for brexit specifically because it would increase immigration from those countries.
Didn’t Patel make it clear years ago she intends to increase Indian immigration? This is just a shocking time that an MP and party actually follow through with what they say they want to do.
Seems they’ve now realised that the Leopards also want to let Jaguars eat their face and now they’re upset that the wrong colour fur is face eating.
My man needs to stop drinking so much, bright red face and a nose like a turd.

Headline doesn’t make sense.
At no point does the MP show any self awareness, he remains convinced that he is right throughout the clip, if you actually watch it.
What made you think, moving the Plantation in the 1970/80’s, to the Slaves would help this Country. We’ve created the conditions to return the Plantation to our Country and create more slaves by shipping them here. Only this time they aren’t kidnapped and chained up…
The last person I saw who was that red was downing vodka Red Bulls at a furious clip, playing poker and wondering where all of his money went.
It looks like this xenophobic plum-faced National populist is about to read some Vogon poetry.

Not only was this already predicted, [it’s already happening](https://twitter.com/jdportes/status/1478777181300039684) – non-EU migration has been rising since the referendum and government policy has encouraged this.

Fucking muppet.

[Called it!](https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/4oci5j/would_net_immigration_actually_go_down_upon_a/) It was pretty obvious this was going to happen.
