There is a lot of rhetoric about the EU treating us badly during Brexit negotiations but they are just protecting their own interests,? What did we expect? Were we that naive?
The timing of the determination to leave has also turned out to be very inopportune as Trump is currently intent on opening trade wars across the world and there is a danger of a world wide recession. A no deal Brexit on top of that may have unleash long lasting implications for out economy
If Brexit does indeed prove to be an economic disaster I’ve often wondered how big the backlash would be
The whole thing is embarrassing and I am convinced many who voted leave didn’t really understand the consequences.

The whole thing is embarrassing and I am convinced many who voted leave didn’t really understand the consequences.
You seem to be confusing CONTROLLED immigration with
UNCONTROLLED immigration?
I'm sure you know the difference so l wont waste time in
explaining it.
Of course people with useful skills will be able to come to
UK as long as they do the paperwork!! And the ones allready
here in needed occupations should allready have the paperwork
needed!
So Banchory and yourself should have no worries about
genuine immigrants status after brexit!

It was not just Project Fear which was wrong, the Leave Campaign was equally as wrong.
The winner will be the one least wrong.

It can hardly be as wrong as the leave campaign has proven to be.
