Would that change if we left the EU?

The right of entry to the country would no longer exist. You then have to remember that heart is where the home is - many over a period of time will return home.

Grandad is p!zz!ng into the wind on this one, being completely in denial and being very selective as to what posts he answers......and how he answers.

40+ years of belonging to a club (think about it! It could be any club).......and people are (not sure whether we should still belong!!!!!!!!!!). With a mindset like that, there cannot be much going for us staying in. It is only business people and politicians that want to belong to this bankrupt organisation, basically for their own personal gain (money,money,money).

Business people - in the larger context, not some local cab owner though....

There was no right of entry before we joined the EU but we still had people coming here from all over the world. As I remember the EU, or the EEC as was called back then was all about free trade within the community which to me suggests that it was set up for business people so it should come as no surprise that business people would want it to continue.
I don't think that having a different view point to you means I am in denial.

So I guess that the well being of people and the safety of your family and every other family in the U.K....is out of the window, because money comes first!

Okay! so what is it about for you? is money more important? is the safety of your family and every other family on your radar, or is it not worthy? because we know that it is failing on both counts i.e the EU is in effect bankrupt, and then look at the German rape/assault/theft factual situation.In reality governments can no longer protect their own citizens.............and you want to belong to that #-o because at the moment it is not happening in your backyard :roll:

No government can protect everyone when there are extremists at work. To the best of my knowledge, which probably isn't great, the last time that this Country was the subject of a terror attack from citizens from other parts of the EU was the IRA. Since then it has been either our own citizens or non EU citizens.

Very true, caused by their interference in the affairs of countries that they have no right to be in. Also I would ask you to take on board that whilst they cannot protect us as it is................please do not make it worse - as the German government have to their own people.

answers to:- Ive taken £3 in 48 hours competition

I had this conversation over 8 yrs ago "uh, oh they'll eat us, taxi is over, blah, blah, blah", and after 8 yrs there's exactly the same number of hackneys an PH (one in one out, natural selection), nothing really happened... on the other hand, what is % of EU migrants compared to non EU? according to HO more people coming in from non EU countries where they need some kind of visas and papers to provide to give they evidence of right to stay or they normally overstay visa period. someone gave them those permits, visas, benefits etc. so locking country for EU citizens seems for me like "I'll lock myself in the toilet I'll be safe". and another one, most of EU citizens living here spent more than 5 yrs in the UK so pretty much everyone has natural right to stay here as citizen of the UK, you'll release them? don't think so... #-o

Keep the question and answers simple wanna, the more aged of the forum are having trouble grasping the concept of large numbers of immigrants swamping the UK as being anything other than a socially, cuddly, liberal ideal that all of us should embrace with open arms..dat's nice.

Now, you and me and everyone else sees it differently, but have some compassion and be tolerant of the views of the tiny minority.

the sole purpose HMG can see in the migrants is for a labour pool to keep wages down

anytime in history - from the black death to nowadays - when there has been no spare workforce the workers dictated wages....which equals increased costs
