UK to take 20,000 Afghan refugees over five years under resettlement plan Good. After ****ing their country it's like... the ****ing least they deserve. Seriously.

Presumably the tories are hoping most of them don't last the 5 years and get brutally murdered by the Taliban before being allowed to travel to the UK.

Duh. Brexit was an utterly pointless affair that, even at best, changed nothing.

Don't be silly, it made a lot of rich people richer for one.

Re: Brexit sure stopped asylum seekers...

20,000 over five years is a small number tbh.

Every country that was involved with ****ing up Afghanistan should be forced into taking Afghan refugees.

Consequences have actions.

Not even that, it hurt the bottom lines of even the large corporations.

Yeah businesses were mostly against Brexit. Because losing access to the biggest market in the world wont help anyone here economically.

If the goal was scortched earth, I can think of better ways.

The one good thing about Brexit is that it was a peoples movement which brought about change against what most politicians and big businesses wanted.

Unfortunately it was a stupid cause to be so passionate about. Even more unfortunate its hero was Nigel Farage.

Not everyone.

Richest Brits Gain $28 Billion Since Brexit Even as Economy Ails

British Billionaires Get Wealth Boost From Boris As Election Calms Brexit Nerves


iirc, Boris Johnson and several of his buddies made a killing with betting against the Pound Sterling right before the vote and it's decline. It's like they knew something...

Of course these people would have made money regardless, but they would have probably made more without Brexit. Certainly in the long run.

Yeah guys still not seeing the connection between Brexit and big business. Access to the Single Market only helped them.

It certainly helped Boris become Prime Minister though. But thats because he used the vote happening to his advantage. Showing himself as fighting for Britain.

But I honestly think it was a case of a vote that just went unexpectedly.
