Yes, I think it's been pointed out before that the freer the movement, the less likely people are to regard a move as permanent. The outflows are important when you want to lower nett immigration figures.

And why do you have twist and turn on the hook that you swallowed, like an old trout?

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

You still haven’t explained why we need a Union? Why are we bound in a Union and not a union of governments without Brussels and all that goes with it? Are you saying we need a Union only because of freedom of movement of capital?

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Manch, Britain doesn't need any stinking union or capital or foreigners or any of that other lefty EU stuff. It's perfectly happy all by itself. So, why doesn't it just leave that horrible union that causes it so much pain, and do whatever it thinks it's doing all by itself? Britain voted for that many months ago. What's the holdup?

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

That's because it was a joke about capitalisation of letters :)

And because it was explained in a manner I can't top many moons ago in several posts by Assanah, to name just one poster. I'm sure you were privy to that conversation - in fact those posts were probably in response to just such questions from you.

But as it happens, you don't need a Union. You're absolutely free to choose not to be part of it. Many countries don't bother with applying in the first place and there is even a mechanism for countries which have opted to join to subsequently leave, put there at the behest of the UK, which is highly fortuitous.

EDIT - Ah, I see ami got there before me. I wasn't copying guv, honest.

The whingers building imaginary hoops and fences that have to be negotiated.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

The brexit team are "whingers"? Negotiate what? Bennies? Well, that would be a rather British expectation..

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Their supporters certainly are.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

I am sorry I am not as knowledgeable in cryptic jokes as you, Eric.

As for Assanah, I am sure she will remember and tell me, if she wants to or if it is allowed.

And as for Ami, I apologise most humbly for rattling your cage.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Let's just sort out this confusion. It is the Remainers who are the whingers. That is why they are commonly known as Remoaners. It's not rocket science guys!

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Right. You meant to say 'known by commoners as Remoaners', but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because as a wank-word user, you're obviously challenged.

Isn't that lucky for you?

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Correct but truth hurts.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Those who voted remain and accept the result which is the vast majority of us know the difference between a vote to leave the EU and actually leaving the EU.
That sadly is too logical a concept for most brexiters to understand.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

It seems everyone's whinging about brexit.

What was the point again?

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

If I remember correctly ami, it was to put a stop to a 40 year Whinge-a-thon indulged in by a small section of the Tory party.
