There's some talk that immigration from the Commonwealth will be facilitated. I don't buy it.

It's already difficult to find talent from the block, and several people come to Europe with a visa

Yeah, I think the UK shot themselves in the foot with this

Judging by the mood of once upon a time British unionists here in Glasgow there's a strong probability of that.

One of my colleagues described the atmosphere in a bar in central Edinburgh today as being like a wake.

Someone in HN yesterday was literally ranting about Polish sausage shops in London. I don't think they'll be happier with Indian restaurants...?

It appears that British love curry a lot[1], and they are having issues with getting qualified chefs in the country from Asia[2].

No one is preventing the UK from adding exceptions for Indians.

As a Canadian, I want nothing to do with a country where a party like UKIP has the kind of sway they demonstrated yesterday.

Also speaking as a Canadian, i am ok with it. We have multiple political views in this country, you don't speak for all of us.
