Rejected petition The PM should apologise for her derogatory "queue jumping" remarks

"It will no longer be the case that EU nationals, regardless of the skills or experience they have to offer, can jump the queue ahead of engineers from Sydney or software developers from Delhi".

PM, please explain why this derogatory remark does not play into the hands of stirring hatred.

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
