If I’m being honest, Chris Brown didn’t so such a bad job. His piece does not disguise the real cause of the widespread disillusionment over Brexit that exists today in the U.K., as the mainstream British political parties shudder themselves to pieces. Brexit voters thought they were acting to increase the sovereignty of their own institutions, and to limit the scale and speed of immigration: and they were openly betrayed. As Brown observes, EU labour migration from places like Poland, which created minor social tensions, was immediately replaced after Brexit by a COVID-era wave of lower-skill non-EU immigrants that are much harder on the treasury and much slower to integrate.
