British press complains about Poles leaving the UK for #Poland, calling this "exodus" and

The great Polish exodus: The arrival of 100,000s of Poles changed the face of Britain, but now they're returning home in droves for a better life in their low-tax, booming homeland. Could there be a more damning indictment of our decline?

The press who published it is... The Daily Mail, who literally engineered #Brexit 😂

@kravietz I meet some here who much prefer Ireland to the UK (they're keeping more than a few churches open).

It was unintentionally generous of the British to contribute so much to the project of integrating formerly Communist countries: supporting enlargement, pushing the single market, accommodating many migrants who learned English and then suddenly cutting themselves off from the single market.

Ireland a beneficiary of this stupidity.

Brexit is probably the best case study in how billions of Russian black cash combined with novel algorithmic disinformation (Cambridge Analytica) can actually convince people to vote for an outcome that evidently disadvantageous to them both before and after.

@kravietz @samueljohnson even worse, IIRC it wasn't even billions, but a much lower amount altogether.
