    EU rules stopped Britain deporting murderers, rapists and violent criminals


    His dossier includes an Italian man who stabbed a head teacher through the heart, a Polish woman who kicked her husband to death and a Romanian rapist who was given permanent residence in this country under the orders of the EU.

    Mr Raab said: “This is yet more evidence of how EU membership makes us less safe. Free movement of people allows unelected judges in the rogue European Court to decide who we can and can't deport. This puts British families at risk.”

    The list of offenders will fuel claims that Britain is hamstrung by EU freedom of movement rules and will only be able to deport violent convicts if the country backs a Brexit on June 23.

    Yawwwwwwnnnnn.........

    They don't. The only reason this point has been raised recently is because the Remnants are desperate.

    Regardless, the fact that we have to wait three months before we (are unable to) ask people to leave demonstrates that we don't control our borders. Why on earth should we have to apply EU directives that we don't need or want?

    And what if they didn't want to leave? How long does the court process take, or are you going to tell me that everyone else just rounds people up, sticks them in the back of a van and drives them to the nearest airport where a fleet of 100 A320s are there to carry them home?

    You lot are in La La Land.

    And the BoE putting cash into the economy had no impact on the markets at all.

    You really are deluded. You live in a complete fantasy in which you believe your glorious leader Merkel will look after you in the Fourth Reich.

    Pathetic.

    Time for the House of Lords to sacrifice themselves. Repeal the vote into the infinity grass.

    David Cameron, the worst PM in history. Exploded the national debt and divided the country for years. And that was after his mantra of repairing broken Britain.

    Time to put an end to Oxford PPE graduates entering mainstream politics.

    How the tide has turned:

    Donald Trump has described the European Union as “wonderful” and said he is “totally in favour of it”

    ...

    “The EU, I’m totally in favour of it. I think it’s wonderful, if they’re happy. If they’re happy – I’m in favour of it,” he said.
    Mind you, he is a complete and utter nutter

    Not much of a punt. There some remaing cash lying around (that's not in funds) that I may convert to USD. Not much risk in that.

    appears they agreed with the government again.
