The Express touts letting more immigrants into the UK as a major benefit of Brexit.
Once more, with emphasis.

Unbelievable hypocrisy. Just staggering.

And as per usual with the Express, most of their website visitors will only ever see the headline.
Why? Because the headline, and only the headline, gets automatically syndicated all over the site.
And very very few people who see it (comparatively speaking) will click through.

So all they'll see is something vague and undefined being touted as:
A) Simple
B) A Brexit breakthrough
C) Under the UK's control
And think "aha, another Brexit positive".
And they'll never realise what the Express are actually advocating for.

And then we get to the worst part of all:
The UK has always had full control of non-EU immigration. Brexit didn't change that.
So we could always have admitted more immigrants from India, or anywhere else.
The Express proposal has not one iota to do with Brexit.

Why does this matter?
Well, while their chipwrap paper edition has barely any circulation to speak of, the Express website is distressingly popular.
It's one of the busiest news sites in the UK, with over 70 million monthly visits.
And therefore unduly influential.
