I was left under the
I was left under the impression from a previous thread I think I may have started that you thought that India (I) was very close to being done (ii) would sort everything and make Brexit all worthwhile. I think you’re back-pedalling on that now.
I don’t associate you with any of this, but am I right in thinking / remembering that this deal would likely entail allowing some immigration from India into the UK? Given the destructive tailspin the Tories have got themselves into on this it’s hard to imagine how they could frame this to the nutjobs as OK. “Look, it’s fine, they may have brown skin, but they all speak English”. Also if you set some stupid income threshold, aren’t you then into “taking all our jobs” territory?

But the point is Rich that you’re no longer defending Brexit, merely distracting from it by answering a different question. The much-vaunted Brexit benefits became Brexit pluses for a while and then became nothing at all. We’re far better off in.
I get this sort of thing with drivers because like with Brexit the case is based on lies:
Me “4-5 people killed every day by cars, dozens more injured”
There’s a range of responses, including flat Earth denial, but a common one is “so what? People die all the time”, another is “it used to be a lot worse” (it did, it’s quite shocking).
Me “Gosh, really, so you’d definitely fly an airline with that safety record?
And when we did have other threats to life, like work-related accidents, we did something about it with health & safety, or with diseases like polio, mumps, smallpox, diphtheria and dare I say Covid, we improved public health and rolled out vaccines.”
but by that time, they’ve come up with another distraction
“You’ve got next to nothing
“You’ve got next to nothing and your life just got a whole lot worse”. The “crises” I’ve had in my younger life were pretty mild, but were real enough to me to retain the idea that this sort of thing can befall any of us, not least as we get older.
Are there really masses of people who are so insulated from this by money and connections that this brand of Conservatism (“you’re on your own”) is OK for them?
