But racists will be in for a shock, according to YK Sinha, India’s High Commissioner to the UK. There are many non-European countries around the world who would like to do trade deals with Britain once the UK is out of the EU. And one of their key demands is going to be increased immigration for their people into the UK, Sinha told The Telegraph:

"You’ve all read about issues of freer mobility of professions. That is something right up there as far as India is concerned.”

“I’m not talking about unfettered access or unrestricted travel, I’m talking about movement of professionals, movement of doctors, technicians, engineers. I think both sides will benefit from this exchange."

When asked about that, the Indian-born British founder of Cobra Beer, Lord Karan Bilimoria, told Business Insider's Adam Payne that India will indeed insist on immigration as a requirement for a trade deal. He echoed Sinha's words: “India will want the movement of professionals, the movement of doctors, the movement of engineers. Both sides will benefit from this exchange. It won’t be a one-way street,” he said.
