Brent Council's Equalities Committee should congratulated for its work on European Union minorities in the Borough. In a report tonight, the Committee is trying to get to grips with the scale of the problem. Unfortunately, this is an area where even trying to work out many people are affected by Brexit is quite hard.
Nor do we have any real control over whether such people want to stay or leave the UK. The present Tory government, led by a woman who has followed a pretty nasty anti immigrant policy for several years as Home Secretary, seems to want to make their life as nasty as possible.
All this strikes as really a very illiberal and unpleasant approach that most people in our Borough will find deeply disturbing and conducive to poor community relations.
At least Brent is trying to quantify the problem, which is the first step to doing something about the issues involved.
