I'm still trying to work out why there has to be free movement in the common market, there wasn't only a few years ago, people can apply for work permits or be recruited from abroad it has been done plenty of times in the past without having free movement.
People have always emigrated/ imigrated from/to the UK.
I assume free movement is similar to the people in the UK when we can work were ever we want in the British isles, I assume that's why there are so many Scots and Irish in England
But, any British person can go and live in Southern Island and continental Europe, but equally, they can go and live and work in the US, Canada, Australia but with the CORRECT PAPERS, this strickes me as a much better, safer way than people just showing up on your door step with a pass port and a suitcase; and all these non EU countries trade with the UK also.
Stands to logic that if you're from a very poor country and you want some money for your family the first thing you will do is go and try 'to find your fortune' in London where the streets are paved with gold.
I know where I am there was pretty much no foreigners, but in close towns, like Chesterfield and Alfreton you can't go 30 yards were you don't hear some one talking in a foreign tounge (that is NOT an exaggeration), and that's with in the past couple of years. What it must be like in Southern towns, cities and ports I can't imagine.
This is nothing to do with racism it's to do with controlling numbers, 667,000 people came to this country last year, 333,000 left, but that still means that 2 3rds of a million people are still here with a surplus of 333,000 (and this is suppose to be substainable indefinately?). Of course people will say, 80% of those people are paying there taxes and have jobs, firstly I don't remotely believe that number, but if it is true, where are they getting all these jobs from? when a lot of indigenous people were unemployed on the back end of a recession?
Freedom of movement is directly responcible for this, of course poor people are going to come to rich countries.
Problem is the remain people are wofting the race card around and are trying to scare the overly pc people of Britian in to backing down on this issue. How people can accuse Britian of racism with the Billions uppon Billions it has in foreign and and more importantly have rasie from the British public is a disgrace and a kick in the balls as far as I am concerned.
Freedome of movement is NOT necessary.
