Yeah, remember this News, where the UK government essentially encouraged those damn pesky foreigners to Keep their trap shut?

I agree, that's pretty insane - and it is rather xenophobic, if not encouraging xenophobia.

"The university said the leader of a project had been told only UK passport-holders should be involved in talks on national security and foreign trade."

Well, it states it is a national security / foreign trade issue which I feel is accurate regarding Brexit. I don't view it as racist to not allow foreigners to influence the government on national security issues since the UK is a sovereign country that has interests which clearly conflict with the interests of many EU countries.

Most Western countries have laws to prevent that from happening, including the US. (even accepting foreign donations for election campaigns is limited or forbidden in some cases)

One of the characteristics of an emerging protofascist society is that suddenly people are being disenfranchised because of the blanket reason of "national security".

Another characteristic, by the way, is the thought of forcing neighbors to appease the country by means of economic or military force.

History shows us that these things usually don't work out too well.
