@mw89181 How unkind! Mind you, you got a “like”. I thought the mid-sixties – when I was born – was a Golden Age for you Boomers. It seems would fall for the lies of the grifters: that it was the Blair government that was the beginning of “open borders”. OK, I am very far from being a Blair fan. However, I take issue with liars and those lied to. Remember that by 2016 the Tories had been in government six years. To put that in perspective, the same length of time that from 1945-51 the Atlee government nationalised about 20% of the economy, including coal, railways, road transport, the Bank of England, civil aviation, electricity and gas, and steel, and established the NHS. But the Cameron government could not even change the immigration laws in those six years. If you are saying “we couldn’t because the EU wouldn’t let us”, you are repeating the lies of your favourite grifters: Farage, Johnson, J. R–M, etc.*Every EU country is sovereign and can establish its own immigration laws* . Yes, there is freedom of movement, but every country establishes the parameters of restrictions. The UK was far more relaxed with its immigrations laws than Belgium was and is now. After the accession of the central-eastern European countries in 2004, the Blair government immediately lifted visa controls – as a post-1989 promise to integrate these European countries. But Austria did not. Many other EU countries did not. The problem is that the grifters encourage you to see the EU much like we were encouraged to see the “Eastern bloc” during the Cold War as a homogenous mass of corruption and anti-democratic institutions. The problem is that people that think like you: that fall for the lies and grifts of the right are seen as much like those whose minds were shaped by the ideology of state communism in the Soviet Union, and the Eastern bloc, and national socialism in Germany in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Did you think people fools during the Cold War era for falling for an obvious corrupt system? That is how many people saw Trump supporters and how they see many Brexitists that block out the reality in the way you block out the sun when temperatures soar.
