Most of the people on the poster have brown skin and black hair,
some oriental faces among them, and someone wearing a fez or a
turban.

They were mainly Syrian refugees crossing from Croatia into
Slovenia, hoping to get to Germany. With or without Brexit, they
would not be allowed to enter the UK.

Until they got an EU passport.

And how would they get one of those?

Granted asylum in germany, granted citizenship, sorted.

All of which takes time, even assuming people want to come here rather
than continue in welcoming Germany.

It is hard to convey quite how much my late parents, 1930s refugees from
Berlin, would be dismayed to find Germany to be more welcoming to
refugees than the UK. I find it hard enough.

Its hard to convey quite how sick I am of hearing these moral
equivalence stories based on what someones ancestors might have
thought or felt. Its 2016, not 1939 and I somehow doubt your parents
were economic refugees.

Nor are the Syrian you moron.
