We're not, it's the exchange rate that makes it cheaper for the tourists, in terms of their own currency.

fuck it im bored of it..just shut the borders and drive a british bike.

If they can come in by boat, how do you reckon on closing off the entire coast of Britain? We've all seen films about D-Day, just because Dover is nearest doesn't mean they can't sneak across further along.

And wouldn't Brexit help companies to INVEST in Britain too - and have 'MADE IN UK' proudly stamped on them as the world has always appreciated British craftsmanship?

What like our prestige car companys who are owed by Forigners all of our choclate made by american's can you name one thing that is actually made and financed by british company and doesnt have jonney forigner hand in it.

Seems only companies to be investing the the UK now are not from here and the British people just gave them a 2 fingered salute on Jun 24th
