Q: How many Brexiters does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: We never said there was a lightbulb
(Alternative answers:
That's for the future prime minister to decide. But what's important is that, whatever the number, it will be a British lightbulb, with the number decided by British people, with British interests at heart. It's a great day for Britain, and a great day for lightbulbs.... As finally we have taken our lighting back
---
17,410,742 some only wanted to protest about the make of the bulb, others wanted to dictate when and who should change the bulb, a few didn't understand what a bulb was but were told it needed changing, and some just hated all bulbs and wanted them gone.
The result is they have smashed the bulb and have no idea what to do now.)

Also they got in trouble when they "helped" the Roma go back to Romania on coaches.

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostIf they do then it's again a failure of the English and Welsh government.
Other countries keep track of people moving around. In fact in some European countries every time you interact with a government, bank or do a significant retail transaction you are expected to give out an ID number.
The idea to leave was so that we could concentrate on out problems and not worry about the problems of mainland Europe.....

Obviously as England is not part of mainland Europe quite clearly different rules need to apply because we do have to manage our borders (which we do) and so we do not really need to sign up to the 'free movement of people is a good thing and we allow it' bollox.
In other countries in the EU you are allowed to move to the country but if you don't have a job and can't prove you can support yourself you have no recourse to public funds, and in some cases can be forced to leave after 3 months.
