All.
But Brexit specifically affects EU people The 3 million odd i speak about refers ONLY to people from the EU, all the others ARE ON TOP OF THAT!

Quote:. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Labour Force Survey estimates for 2015, there are 3.3 million EU citizens in the UK – 1.6 million from the EU14, 1.3 million from the EU8, 300,000 from Romania and Bulgaria and the remainder from the other EU countries of Malta, Cyprus and Croatia[5].
Refuges and finantial migrants are on top of this figure and have to be assesed seperatly.
And these rose tinted bespecticled chumps don't think imigration is a problem, post brexit that is.
This isn't just and issue, it's a crisis for the UK, it simply does not have the space and land mass to have an open doors policey with the EU member states.
Nobody is saying thou shalt not enter, merely enter with the appropriate papers when you have genuine reasons to be here.
What have the Lords just done?
basically saying that any deal has to be agreed by both houses and a meaningful vote has to take place for the deal to go thru

Signed their own death warrant with any luck.
It'll be funny to see the Brexiters slagging off the House of Lords now, since it's mostly full of folk from the House of Commons who're happily allowed in there to prolong their careers after public rejection (in many cases), to suit themselves and their party lines the rest of the time.
They did vote against a second referendum.
it will pass next week unless the tory rebel backbenchers grow some and rebel against it but they are more concerned about keeping there jobs.
thats why the lords is a good thing they dont have to keep voters happy
find it ironic thought the lib dems wanted to change the lords when they were in coalition but the usual tory suspects foiled them now the same tory mp's are the ones complaining about the lords shows what a bunch of fuckwits they are lol
She should have enough support to win the vote I suspect but she'll likely have to rely on the DUP's support to help get it through when you consider the size of her majority
Of course he wants us back... He needs someone to pay for his booze.
