Either that or a good kick up the arse to teach 'em their rights are no more important and any other burgers! ;) What economic effects have there been for something that is yet to happen. The only ones who will need grief counselling will be our ultra brexiters, usually non resident in the Uk when the reality of brexit emerges. |

I thought mostly what it wants to do is to reduce immigration, which is a rather different matter. P'raps you guys felt you needed to change tack because you've finally grasped the idea of how democracy works? - Though I doubt it! But yes, I'd say that what's happening in & around the Calais jungle etc makes it glaringly bleedin' obvious that the UK needs to improve border security wouldn't you? |

Either that or a good kick up the arse to teach 'em their rights are no more important and any other burgers! ;) What was interesting on the news this morning was the chat around the guy (forget his name) who will apparently lead on negotiations for the EU with Britain for some / all of the areas. He has a tough reputation and sounded like someone not willing to concede much ground. I predict that it will be a balanced scorecard when it's done. The UK will chest thump that the deals are great. The EU will chest thump the same and depending who you choose to believe, you (the proverbial) will do the same. I reckon there will be real positives for the UK hopefully and I think there will be real negatives. Both means that both 'camps' from campaigning will have ended up getting not what was promised at all in some areas and having to concede things that people may have cast their vote based on (if that makes sense). The pressure from the EU won't fall though. The message yesterday was a resounding - "get on with it". |
re: Post EU Referendum
When did Calais become part of the UK border? And how will a visa system do anything to reinforce that border?

By the way, did you realise they won the referendum? |

Of course, that's likely to vanish now too. So, there will be a significant increase in refugees claiming asylum in the UK, simply by boarding a ferry... But at least the "jungle" will no longer exist. The French will be happy about that. |

Note I deliberately didn't refer to the name of the visa that isn't a visa that the Yanks use but whatever it's called, it does very obviously entail a security check.
Check the links I provided that showed the Muslim family were refused travel because one of the addresses they provided had previously been linked to a terrorist website! How does anyone know whether the information held is accurate, and how does one prove it had nothing to do with them to be able to fly?

I'd guess if a deal is struck, it will likely be something less that what the UK negotiated previously. |

It think it's also worth reminding ourselves that single-market access will still mean that goods sold in the EU will still have to meet EU standards and carry the CE mark.
We will be free of EU diktats from the faceless un-elected bureaucrats in Brussels. :eek: Remember - they won. |

No, if EU countries decide that all goods exported from the UK to EU countries MUST fulfill the safety and quality levels that are the CE mark, then they will all have to pass the tests, being outside the EU will NOT negate that.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage warns Britain would have been dragged into Juncker's EU army | UK | News | Daily Express IIRC; didn't Clegg(?) say Farage was lying when he predicted an EU military force? |
