The flood of South African responses on Twitter is excellent/hilarious. My favourite: "Nelson Mandela was a Brighton & Hove Albion fan"

I believe Bozza is currently at a COBRA meeting on what is going to happen once the south africans discover NSC.
I don't think it will be at quite the same level as when the Prince of Persia arrived.I believe Bozza is currently at a COBRA meeting on what is going to happen once the south africans discover NSC.

That is an incredibly quick turn around compared to pre-Brexit. Can see an absolute influx of non-EU players.
Look forward to seeing him in the stripes l
(Remember, he gets a full half hour from me to prove himself, I don’t believe in making snap decisions )

This rather boring argument was hashed out on the awful Brexit thread many times. Nigel Farage and co were all quite aware of the consequence and often cited that people should be allowed to migrate on the basis of their qualification rather than an accident of birth yet for some reason a lot of remain supporters can't grasp it. If people have a problem with the new criteria, it would suggest that they are rather closer in attitude to the very people they aim distain at for harbouring racist attitudes.A microcosm of the wider Brexit impact - we keep out those pesky Europeans, but "balance the books" with non-EU nationals. Net migration from the EU was down below 50k last year, whilst net migration from Non-EU countries zoomed up to nearly 300k. Without wanting to get into a Brexit debate, I imagine this is NOT necessarily what Nigel Farage and his ilk were looking to achieve!

Good point. The new system is theoretically much fairer. But if you look at the infamous "Breaking Point" poster that Farage championed - those are NOT European faces. One of the key issues in the Brexit debate was the feeling that "foreigners" (and in this case, EU citizens) were taking the jobs of Brits, and blocking access to schools, doctors, etc, for Brits. The reality is that - as a country - we need (and massively benefit from) immigration, and that in future significant net immigration will continue. That may or may not be what Leavers wanted to achieve. My guess is probably not.
