Nice to see Liz Truss, Secretary of State for Justice, seemingly less outraged by the press attacking the impartiality of her Judges than she was by Brits importing French cheese.

Just wait until the press go after her Beijing Pork Markets.

May and her crack team are over in India building relations. Seems like the Indians will want to have easier access to visas so what will that do for immigration?

Well I am sure the British will get what they want and not have to give up anything.

Given that most immigration to the UK was already from non-EU countries, I think the rabid ranting about immigration being a reason for Brexit was a particular low point.

Seems like we will have more immigration to deal with. Not sure that is what we were expecting post the vote.

I'm not sure why you think that this will be a problem.

Indians have integrated very well in the past.

Many kinds of visa though. I'd like a visa waiver system to visit and work in India for short periods.

So long as we have a system in place that controls migration to a level of people we can manage properly, allows the migrants to integrate well into society and provides the skill sets we require that cant be provided by the current population, I couldn't care less where they came from. If that means we get more people from India, fine by me.

There were loads of Poles used to work at our local pit, they also integrated very well.

My calculus professor at University was from Hungary - he integrated extremely well indeed.

Not a problem as such but Brexit was largely about limiting immigration.

There is a "geek joke" thread in the Lounge. You should post that up over there.

Did you vote Leave because of immigration?

It's actually in contravention of the European Convention on Human Rights.

And we're not pulling out of that, even after Brexit.

May seems awfully keen on restricting human rights, so I wouldn't be too sure.
