(as Britain slides further down the toilet thanks to thick brexiters)

Britain must accept higher levels of immigration from India if it hopes to sign a free trade agreement after Brexit, a senior Indian diplomat has warned, as he predicted it could take up to a decade to secure the deal.

YK Sinha, India’s High Commissioner to the UK, said "freer movement of people and professionals" had to form part of any future deal to ensure it was “mutually beneficial.”

Put it this way the ones I meet in Europe and the uk are better than the ones I’ve seen when visiting India.
