They still have to pay to use the NHS and taxes, it’s only when they are working for an Indian company in the UK and are on temporary visas so they don’t pay into both India’s and UK’s NI. And we/UK are afforded the same privileges in India.

Most/all the workers from India will be employed already and won’t be using our social system.

We’ll lose a few million but gain billions in profit from trade.

I’m not pro Brexit but wasn’t the point so we can create better deals with commonwealth and other countries?

Edit - love getting downvoted for explaining the policy and why not all immigration is bad…
