Boris Johnson’s announcement of new deals with India worth some £1 billion, with more than £500 million of new investment from India in the UK expected to create some 6,000 jobs, is good news.
However, it is also decidedly underwhelming when measured against the promises made about a golden future for the UK outside the EU once we had the ability to “make our own trade deals”, as if somehow British negotiators would be able to extract better terms than their counterparts from Brussels.
..UK-India trade is currently worth a total of about £23 billion a year and the government aims to double this by 2030. For comparison, UK exports to the EU were worth £294 billion in 2019 (43 per cent of total British exports), while imports from the EU were worth £374 billion.
Given leading Brexiteers’ frequent complaints about “uncontrolled immigration” from the EU to the UK – otherwise known as freedom of movement, a phrase that emphasises the arrangements were a two-way street – some Leave supporters may be surprised by Truss’s comments that the UK is likely to relax immigration rules as part of an India free trade deal. “Business mobility is a key part of trade... you need to make sure you're able to get your professionals over to the country,” she said.

So 6,000 Indian H1B (whatever the UK equivalent is) scumbags are heading to the UK to displace British workers
The UK is inviting Indians. They are far from scumbags. People like Dinesh D’Souza are key additions to the USA.
The Brits are far better off as an independent country. It will just take time to truly shake off the chains.
They were always an independent country, even when they were an EU member country
The UK is inviting Indians. They are far from scumbags. People like Dinesh D’Souza are key additions to the USA.

Bet you think the 5 million job-stealing Indian H1B scumbags in the US are key addition to the US as well?
Looks like I outed another globalist FreeTraitor to the American worker
They aren’t “scumbags” — {contemptible or objectionable person.} - some may be, but the majority aren’t, no more than you could be labelled that way.
Secondly, your number of 5 million H1Bs is false
The total number is 580,000 in the USA with H1B visa: US has just over 580,000 H-1B visa holders, says USCIS - The Economic Times.29 Jun 2020
Thirdly, they aren’t “job stealing” — they got hired to work and they work under the law.
And for a newbie from 2019, you are quick to toss out terms for yourself like scumbag.
Why did you get your knickers in a twist? Were you an HTML “programmer” that lost his job because you couldn’t keep up?
nooB, you are funny.
You call other people scumbag when you don’t look in the mirror.
What got you so riled? Did you only have “Excel typing” in your experience and got fired by smarter folks? (meaning people with an IQ > 95)
