Post-Brexit immigration fears

[chopper]

The subject of undocumented EU citizens in the UK as been in the the foreign press. There are many workers living in flat shares and houses in multiple occupation and on casual work.

If they're working here legitimately, and therefore paying tax to HMRC on their earnings, or indeed claiming these apparently super generous British benefits that Brexiters keep moaning about, then that is all the documentation they need. If they've failed to do that, then it is hard to have any sympathy for their lack of documentation.

That's assuming that every EU citizen is here working and/or claiming benefits, and has sufficient evidence through tax records. Non-working spouses, for example, may have difficulty.

What a load of bollox. What proof will spouses and partners have?

The statistic that really stands out like a sore thumb is the 53% of Brits who have a low education compared to 14% of immigrants.
