    I think it is just plain wrong and will damage the economy as well as hurting individuals - we are a long way fromhaving the points based scheme in place so for the moment we need EU migration to continue.

    Personally I would grant free movement to anyone from anywhere with a GDP per head more than about 10% less than the UKs and suggest other countries reciprocate. Sure restrict entitlement to benefits, nhs, pensions etc to incomers until they had made sufficient contributions but otherwise let them come, it being rich countries they will onyl come if they can contribute not just to suck up our iminimum wage jobs because they find them so attractive.

    I suspect most countries would then choose to reciprocate.

    Sorry but enough is enough.
    We need to get our border closed to free movement and stop any more coming here.

    Not going to happen ever.

    See how many migrants don't come from the EU:

    you think less than 180,000 EU people came here?
    Where are those figures from?

    The FT. It's plotting migration each year since 1975, not total since 1975.

    This is what we are supposed to be "working together with"

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/theresa-may-under-fire-for-threatening-to-deport-eu-migrants-after-brexit-a7119611.html

    Deportation of immigrants by a right wing government.

    Scapegoating of foreigners.

    Why not make them have identity cards and wear uniforms as well?

    I seriously cannot believe how low this country is sinking.

    If Leave / Tory voters think this is going through they have another think coming.

    No, he doesn't there, but that's what he was referring to when he stated 'out is out' back in June.

    From City AM:

    I'm not so sure. I've seen it all over Twitter earlier about how George Osborne "made" him do it, but it all seems to be from interpreting the German interview in the link earlier where it's clear that GO asked him to come over, but it doesn't say that he "made" him say that. I think something has been lost in translation between the German article and the City AM one (and others).

    Then you could whinge about that result as well
