The paradox:
Brexit was popular on the promise to ‘get back control’ of borders in order to reduce costly immigration. Opening borders to (relatively costly) non-eu migration in order to fill roles previously taken by (relatively un-costly) eu migrant workers.
Brexit may slow immigration. That might be enough for Leave voters. But I doubt it. They’ll still not really like brown people.
Bingo.
