Quick wins (remoaner edition)

I would have voted remain (I was overseas during the vote) , but to be perfectly honest, I'm happy and relieved that we've come to an arrangement.

Anything is better than going to WTO terms.

I'll be 20 foot under before I give BJ any credit for anything at all, but someone somewhere deserves a bit of praise for getting something done at the end.

Now, do we become another US state? I hope not, but my vote to stay in the EU was for many more reasons than economic ones.

I do still think that we will end up with MORE immigration from outside the EU. Unlimited visas anyone?

With EU immigration, many wish to return to their home country to live at some point; they will have a great life when they return. With non-eu immigration they will stay and want to bring their extended families and frail grandparents etc.

About the only thing you've written that is correct,

Then the fruit picking permit scheme has been tripled from 10,000 to 30,000 (seems Pick for Britain was a bit of a failure as Brexiters didn't want to get off of their fat arses to help Britain out, they still want foreigners to do their work

It was also common for migrants to return to their home country to a healthcare system they were familiar with, free from language barriers.

Be kind. Reading between the lines, BR14 is planning to address his personal issues in 2021. We can expect some relapses but we should try to be supportive.
