Immigration policy debacle

PM Theresa May's immigration reforms have now triggered fresh anger from Eastern Europe, and it may lead to Britons being forced to apply for work permit to work in the continent. I liked your story: “Britain's loss, others' gain” (AV 26 Nov, page 1). It is indeed true that the immigration system is making things hard- and it's not just for Europeans, but non Europeans are in fact at a worse place. MPs like Priti Patel had promised a golden era for Indo-British relationship, pre-Brexit. Theresa May's visit to India brought us nothing- especially after her 'haughty' comment on immigration. If Britain has to trigger article 50, I believe there is a need for everyone meeting mid-way. That includes Mrs May. This upper-hand approach is harmful for Britain in the long run.
