1) Brexiters say FoM is Racist because it only applies to Europeans
Lexiters say it's exploitive because EU migrants are underpaid

They both have the same answer,end FoM

However, Brexiters don't really care about non EU migrants, nor do Lexiters about the "exploited" EU workers

2) it's just rank hypocrisy. You don't help non EU migrants by stopping FoM & if someone is abused you don't help them by locking them in their own country

It's similar to the "EU repressed Greece, so we'll support the Greeks by leaving the EU" that we heard from both sides

3) it's been one of the most depressing aspects of #Brexit, brexiters on both sides will go through any logical loop the loop, even betraying their underlying principles, to justify a divisionist, small minded #Brexit

4) today there are "socialists" saying "the east European workers are being exploited, so we'll support them by taking away their free will, mobility & their right to work here"

There's "pro fair migration" supporters who would freak if FoM was extended to all countries

5) maybe it's just me but I could not look at myself in the mirror if I knew I was using faux outrage at someone's "exploitation" to justify my wanting to take their rights & mobility away
