    Different brit here. I suspect the plan is to reduce immigration by making the UK a place no one would want to migrate too.

      On a related note, I believe Indians are emigrating to other EU countries too - it wouldn’t surprise me if India’s rise was a consideration for brexit. Naturally Indians (as with most people who wish to immigrate tbh) want to come to an English speaking country.
