Has Theresa May become a fascist?

An email I received today says it all; is Theresa May a fascist? #ThinkSpeak #Brexit #SumOfUs Dear Colleagues ‘Firms must list foreign workers’. That’s the shocking headline we woke up to a few days ago. In its drive to deliver a ‘hard Brexit’, Theresa May’s government is doing everything it can to fan the flames of distrust, racism and xenophobia. The government plans to ‘name and shame’ businesses that employ a global workforce by making them publish lists of their ‘foreign workers’. This comes on top of the news that it also wants to kick ‘foreign doctors’ out of the NHS and introduce tough visa rules for international students who want to study in the UK. When did employing a global workforce become a badge of shame? Now, more than ever, we have to show that we are united. That we will not allow politicians to sow divisions between us. SumOfUs stands for the rights of workers. All workers -- no matter who they are or where they are from. Show that you stand with all work
