Just confirms the point that Boris and others have always made: ie it is not about being anti-immigrant- it is about being able to control immigration based on strategic or moral interests of the country. In other words, the Brits will decide- not Brussels or various illegal entry schemes. Oh and if they choose to welcome Hong Kong people based on a perception of an obligation or wish, then they might also choose to move out 3 million marginal immigrants of questionable status. Again, the Brits will decide that. Not Brussels.
