The bit I don't get is that if it is capitalism's wet dream why arch deregulators like Rees-Mogg are happy to see new bureaucratic barriers between this Thatcherist utopia and the UK imposed? I can see why less wealthy people fearing the impact of free movement of labour has on their utility and services but what does dear Jacob and his ilk have against the the largest market for goods, services and capital? Unless you make money from disruption and uncertainty I guess?
