Scarf - surely "they" are taking control by allowing this to happen?
I am a staunch remainer and didnt agree with the majority of the UK who voted and voted leave but we all need to be fully aware that it was never the intention of the govenment to exclude all foreign nationals from the UK but to simply unilaterally decide who they wanted to "let in" and when.
I think the leavers and there are many many Labour voters amongst them aren't embarrassed but proud of whats happening.....they have taken back control.
