Yup. Expect a barrage of sound bites that suggest that the reason everything is going to hell in a hand basket, is that we (meaning "our corporations") are being "held back" by the pesky ECHR.

The irony is, signing trade deals with countries like India and China could mean making immigration EASIER for people from those countries.

And EU immigrants accounted for less than half the arrivals last year (with nearly 70% having a job to go to).


Which is better for the economy, young Eastern Europeans prepared to work for a pittance and paying tax or tens of thousands of elderly ex-pats kicked out of Spain who will be a big burden on the NHS?

The answer is, having a little chinaman or indian servant is far superior. These people know how to take a beating without complaining, whilst an East European smells, makes a mess everywhere, is a thief. and will try to rape your dog. They are immigrants, so totally out of touch with the concepts of servitude and subordination the made Britain Great.

Now a prediction.. IF these ex-pats do return for free health provision on the NHS (too late, buster).. they will be among the worst moaners complaining about immigration to the UK and how immigrants have ruined Britain etc.

The same Australia that pays to house illegal immigrants on an island? How much space is left on the Isle of Wight then?

Then I think we should rename it to the Isle of Right, should we choose to play host to our illegals there.

I understand that, just not the first time immigration has raised a bit of a double standard...

Trade deals with the US? They seem optimistic, here, that the UK will step out from under EU food safety regulations.

Enjoy the shitty beef!

Brexit: Labour tensions as Article 50 bill published
Jeremy Corbyn has imposed a three-line whip on his MPs, telling them to back the newly-published bill.
This from a leader of the "remain" campaign.

Jeremy Corbyn has imposed a three-line whip on his MPs, telling them to back the newly-published bill.
Business Insider wrote:Incredibly two of those MPs set to defy the three line whip are still in charge of ensuring Labour MPs follow it.

Thangam Debbonaire, one of Labour's whips, told Business Insider on Thursday afternoon that she will defy the whip if it is imposed and "deal with the consequences". Another Labour whip, Jeff Smith, told the Manchester Evening News that he would also defy the whip.

"My constituents voted strongly for remain and I think it’s important to represent their view,” he said.

Labour's shadow minister for early years, Tulip Siddiq, confirmed to Sky News that she had resigned over the issue.

Several other members of the Shadow Cabinet have also indicated that they are considering voting against the bill.
