When was anything ever applied to illegal immigrants, other than procedures for removal? And are you talking about the perfectly legal immigrants of the Windrush debacle, who should never have been deported or ordered to leave? Bloody Guardian, making a fuss about nothing, eh? |

You are clearly correct about the loons, but they're remainiac ones.
I would like to take you into a few pubs I know and see their reaction to calling them a swarm of fecund carbon units, and try and explain to them that you are just being ironic.as they politely ask you to leave via the pubs cat flap.. . |

It certainly is enforced in Spain. And Germany (two places I'm intimately familiar with). It's not "cannot". It's "does not". There's a difference. It was 20 Years ago. You don't get away with that very easily anymore. Just like in the UK, there's still some of it, but nothing like it used to be. No doubt you'd be screaming "dictatorship" had your [cash, untaxed] business been subjected to unfair "rules" like that. I even saw for myself 3 years ago someone undertaking a E60K extension whereby not only most of the labour was "black" but also most of the materials - only around 20K ended up legit and that was kitchen and bathroom kit. |

In theory, EU citizens can be fined for not registering but not removed from the country for that alone but in practice, I've never heard of such a thing either in the news or on the forums. However, what used to be a fairly lax set of procedures has been tightened up a bit now, so you can't, for example, register in the health service without a resident registration certificate, which was possible years ago. And you need a tax number before you get the registration certificate. But there are still (allegedly) numerous unregistered Brits (and therefore presumably other EU citizens) residing full-time here. Nobody goes round knocking on doors or stopping you in the street demanding to see your papers for immigration purposes. |

The definitive book on how and why we voted in the referendum....The Road to Somewhere..by David Goodheart....member of the Think Tank on immigration policy
Makes veeerrrrry interesting reading..... A snippet....37% of Labour Voters ..voted to leave... Highest support for remain 57% was from the top social class's ( A's and B's) People in council houses voted to leave Only 36% in the lowest social class's C2 D and E voted to Remain People who had paid off their mortgages voted to leave 49% sat in the middle class's who voted to Remain The divide was about Education,Mobility, Profession. The higher educated you were the more you were likely to have voted Remain.-ie 66% of graduates voted remain This describes people as being divided into two tribes. Citizens of Somewhere ( Leave) or citizens of Anywhere ( remain) Highly recommend this book. https://lordashcroftpolls.com/2016/0...voted-and-why/ I guess poor people who compete with migrants for housing and work tended to vote leave - no surprise there. |

It's good it is being tightened, the UK should be doing the same with ID cards and access to NHS etc.
Those of us who use the NHS and not private health cover . know that... |

Those who are not prejudiced do not use words like " removing ". You are referring to fellow humans,women,children , people who have contribute to the UK.being " removed " because you do not want them here. The Nazis removed " Jews into ghettos.... You clearly either have no idea or are deliberately using demonizing language. Why would I want to go to that sort of grotty pub, sounds frightful. Carbon units was a descriptive term of interchangeable manual workers - go back and look at it's first use Swarm was mimicking Cameron Fecund is clearly a word beyond your vocabulary - you were probably one of those types wanting to beat up a pediatrician in the past |
