Article 50/Brexit Negotiations

[Gelsons Dad]

The point being that Brexit was supposed to stop this (or at least make it more difficult).
Hence Farage is all over this like a rash.

Bollox.
You are confusing legal and illegal immigration.

So free access for EU citizens but for work permits, "The government would control the number of permits issued in any particular sector. There could be a charge for each permit to encourage companies to give British workers priority." I thought we were freeing ourselves of red tape, not making more.

Only one small step from there to giving the 3 devolved parliaments, what they wanted with the power to issue work permits for Scotland or Wales. Expect to see virtual free movement in all parts of the UK except England.

It's our red tape not EU red tape so it's OK.

Then English firms will move production to Wales and Scotland to avoid arbitrary restrictions and have access to immigrant labour as there's already a labour shortage in some sectors.

It's local red tape for local people.

No, it's you confusing border controls and no border controls.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Brexit still means Brexit.

I'd have thought it meant being left out in the cold!

So we end up with the same number of EU Immigrants ........but this time we charge for it? Sounds like a typical Tory policy

We couldn't stop illegal immigration in the past so I would expect these numbers to remain constant or even increase if Group 4 Security (or Border Force is they are known) decides to reduce their numbers so they can make even more profit.

The govt seem to be offering Unfettered, unlimited access for EU citizens not intending to work or seek benefits.

Tourists then.
Like many other countries with visa waiver of no visa requirements for tourists.

They could... however Frontex is not a private company and is funded by direct contributions from EU states. G4S simply want to make a profit

Brexit still means Brexit.

Your daily comments are making me laugh, me old mucker.

But it's a bitter laugh. Are you finding the continued "support" for this national embarrassment, in the face of all available evidence and common sense, to be as incredible as me?

"I see no ships".

How the fuck did we get here? How did colossal stupidity gain the upper hand both here and across the pond?

These are hugely worrying times, mate; at least for those of a liberal disposition, such as you and I. Brexit is an utter fucking shambles and, as you allude to, the whole situation feels a little surreal.
