A No Deal Brexit is a lose/lose outcome.

@ burneside : Australia and the USA as 2 major developed countires that have immigration policies designed, or attempt too in the case of the US, favour the immigraton of white people. Most recently, Trump had his immigration policy regarding arab states over turned by the courts. And then there is his attitude to South Americans.  His support of White Supremacy, also, doesn't encourage a belief ...
