Mogged

Most people who vote for Brexit did so because of immigration. Jacob Rees-Mogg MP, leading Brexiteer who this morning spoke on BBC Radio 4 "Today" about this issue, is the son of the Editor of "The Times" who is partly responsible for about half a million foreign men (and their children) living in these islands. In 1969 James Callaghan, Home Secretary and later Prime Minister, stopped foreign men from using marriage to live in the UK. "The Times" ran a campaign against this, under the banner heading "The Law against Wives". The law was repealed in 1975. These wives can now, of course, live in two countries: their husband's and the UK. So they are very privileged, since most Brits can only live in one (apart from the EU)
