Tory MP Daniel Hannan of the Leave camp tells the BBC that retaining the free movement of labour for EU citizens is “doable”. It’s suddenly dawned on them that around one million British people work elsewhere in the European Union and that one million citizens of other EU member states keep London going.
Yet they campaigned mainly on the basis of “controlling our borders” and the people who voted for them voted largely on border control and getting rid of immigrants.
Now those who led them to the slaughter are saying that retaining freedom of movement is “doable”, which in translation means that they’ve suddenly realised that coping without it isn’t very doable at all.
