[Merged]Brexit stuff (part 2)

[SueEllen]

Ireland like the UK has control of it's borders.

The issue that once you get a visa for Ireland OR the UK you can in theory walk across the Northern Irish border into the other country.

So are you saying we don't have any control over our borders at the minute?


Over half of the immigration into the UK comes from outside the EU, so leaving the EU will not change how we control the borders for them, will it?

We don't control who comes over from the EU as you well know. EU passport holders have a right to enter the UK unless we have a specific reason to stop them.

Fancy that, 33% of leavers want an Irish border and return of The Troubles.

See? There you go again. Proposing that the Irish border being re-introduced would undoubtedly result in a resumption of the Troubles.

You really need to step back from placing these ridiculous caveats on every claim you make.

As if your claims were not speculative at best, you reduce their chances of being taken even remotely seriously by introducing wildly implausible add-ons.

Why do you feel the need to do this? Is it because you feel that, taken in isolation, the points you try and make are ostensibly so weak?

I think we should be told.

There are huge domestic issues, once the smoke screen of the EU has dissipated, the indivisible accountability of Westminster will be entirely transparent.

[WTFH]

Because we want to control who comes through our borders.

Why do we need it removed?

Because we want to control who comes through our borders.

[WTFH]

So why do we need freedom of movement?

Beer to go up by 15%

Brits drink too much beer anyway

So the MEPs can get from Brussels to Strasbourg without having to use their passports.

Fair play. You got me there!
