We must deliver: Brexit, Johnson and the robots of Milton Keynes | Anywhere but Westminster

As Tory conference cheers Boris Johnson’s do-or-die vision of leaving the EU, Anywhere but Westminster moves to Milton Keynes, a town evenly split between leave and remain, and hurtling into the future.

Robots are delivering people’s shopping, but there’s also homelessness and glaring inequality, and clear signs that most people want no part of all the Brexit madness

  1. These videos are so insightful. I went to Milton Keynes for a wedding in 2019 and I definitely agree, on the surface it's a bubble. But the longer I waited for the trai home, the more I saw they have the same problems as everywhere else in England.

  2. I had the luck to spend a few days even weeks at a time in Milton Keynes at a time when as a continental European I was working for a British company. No contest the most dystopian place I ever been in. It is like the super low key America of The Stepford Wives infused with Brawe New World glazed with subtle despair. Very charming very surreal in the most horrific way.

  3. Loved living in Milton Keynes. He is very patronising. The way that he even introduces himself as being in Milton Keynes is patronising. He’s trying to put words in people’s mouths. MK is very cosmopolitan. It isn’t a typical example of ‘England’

  4. I hate the fact that immigration has become a scapegoat for the failings of successive Tory governments to protect the most needy in society. It is fact that migrants pay far more into the UK system in taxes than they take out. Don't believe me? Go and check it. Yes, they do put a strain on local services like GP practices and schools, but these services are failing because they have been underfunded by central government through austerity cuts.
