As I keep saying, nobody pointed out the queue to me when I arrived in the UK. Seems a bit rude calling me a queue-jumper at this point, no?

(I love the UK, but I'm incredibly relieved I don't live there anymore).

Exactly, it's a bone being thrown to the anti-immigration section of the Brexiteers, nothing more. As nigel says, it's dog-whistle politics.

I'm ashamed of the state of the UK and its politicians.

Me too, but only of the politicians and voters who continue to support Brexit using their only weapon, the platitudes that the people have spoken and must now be obeyed because democracy demands it.

..... And of the Beeb. (Sky is a totally different environment). Yesterday they did a Vox Pop - and guess where they went - a market in Leeds - and guess what the people there said - by a margin of 5 to one: "we've voted leave, now get on with it.

..... And of the PM who is the most active in saying stop immigration "once and for all". I think she and her team have identified that that will swing it far more than anything else.
