I guess this is the "FO" part of "FAFO".

Sad it took this long for the UK to figure it out. I fear they're too far gone to recover.

I’m glad they wised up, but the horse has already left the barn.

The one good thing to come out of this is that they were our canary in the coal mine.

Well, duh.

I am not convinced that a Labor government will change course. Just more lip service to boil the frog.

As many have noted, it may well be too late at the point for the UK.

It’s like watching a guy jumping out of a plane, and realizing about five seconds before he hits the ground that he strapped on a regular backpack instead of a parachute.

They were wedded to the globalist dreams of no borders in order for them to have access to the cheapest labor. They do not care what it does to the rest of the country, because they are not impacted by what they actually bring to society at large.

That is why they rode that payday for so long, as the globalists greased their lives with lots of money.

Since Europeans are so much smarter than everyone else in the world why did it take so long to figure out something so simple?

This isn’t a concession.

It’s a modified limited hangout meant to buy time and appease the masses while borders are left wide open.

Yes, but only if the US pays attention.

Unfortunately there are far too many people in government who continue to believe mass immigration (along with socialism/communism) is a viable concept - it just hasn’t been implemented correctly or funded to the correct level yet.

I know this isn't exactly on-theme here for the thread, but I just have to finally say it ...

Every time I see the PM, I think "That's Fred Barnes, from the old McLaughlin Group discussion show."

Confirmation that, to be a liberal, one must have an IQ below 12, but even if they’re that dumb, reality will eventually come knocking between the eyes.

Buy time for what? There doesn’t seem to be an upside
to allowing this to continue.

I actually miss that show. I enjoyed the banter very much.
Guess that makes me old.
