Actually, when you think about it, Brexit was a good idea.

I am all for a free trade deal with India. I mean, that is what Brexit was all about wasn’t it? There must be some pretty perplexed voters who given the chance, would probably think again about voting ‘leave’.

But live and let live I say. It has happened now and we can’t moan and groan about who was right and who was wrong forever. We've got bigger and more important things to worry about.

There is a war on and we are finally breaking away from the constraints of being in the European union. Boris Johnson this week went cap in hand to India. First, to offload some of our weaponry, because that is essentially the only reason that any political leader or Royal family member seems to be making any sort of visit to any nation these days, and secondly, to try to dissuade the Indians from buying Russian oil.

India, like a number of neighbouring nations, has declined to be critical of Russia and has abstained from voting in United Nations resolutions condemning Moscow. India has also increased its purchases of Moscow’s oil and has been a major buyer of the Kremlin’s arms. Rather than tackling the problems faced by ordinary families who are struggling to pay their bills, we are more concerned with offloading our armaments on other countries.

Then there is this delicate issue of immigration. Brexit was all about ensuring we had control of borders as clearly there were far too many of ‘them’ over here taking advantage of our infrastructure.

Some of the national press who for decades riled up their readers with lies about migration and immigration now find themselves trying to explain post-Brexit visits like the one to India to everyone.

The underlying cause of the problem was not bad leadership or politicians in bed with large multi-national companies – it was the immigrants, most notably those of a different shade. They were the ones who making our lives miserable.

Oh, and Jeremy Corbyn, that man was definitely Satan. Whilst we would like to blame rising prices on Covid and the Ukraine war, deep down we have a feeling that much can be blamed with poor post-Brexit planning and the fact that we were getting a good deal from some of our European neighbours.

During the trip, Mr Johnson has been open about the possibility of accepting Delhi’s demands for more immigration to the UK. We should welcome more skilled workers even though there had been a number of rallying calls to ‘train British’.

Whilst we are on the subject, we could also do with more of those curry chefs we were promised during the referendum. Brexit is working out just fine.
