Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons. |

It's been a while since I spent any time in the East End and a year or two since I even passed through but I watch the TV reports just like everyone else. Dealing with illegal immigration is obviously a big problem but I cannot see why ending freedom of movement will help with that as we already have border controls which check everyone. Except the illegals. As a young man I went to college in Whitechapel and have drunk a beer in the Blind Beggar. All at the time when the Krays ruled the roost running the most insidious protection rackets. The Krays were 100% British. You cant see freedom of movement being a problem....really.

An unusually forthright Angele Merkel who clearly has had enough of Brexit and the UK. Unless the UK revokes then hopefully it is over. It is more likely an extension will be offered, but 3 months is no help, really at least 2/4 years are necessary to let the UK have its elections and referendums. A fundamental independent review of brexit to discover what its aims are and if they are deliverable, as most normal businesses do before a new project. Really, funnily enough I heard a report today,that 100,000 German car workers are seriously pissed off because they might lose their jobs..unless Merkel and her franco buddies get it sorted.

Britain has turned against Brexit and would now vote to stay in the European Union, according to the biggest ever poll-of-polls. The YouGov analysis for the Evening Standard of 300 surveys shows “concrete” evidence that the country shifted against quitting the European bloc in the year after the June 2016 referendum and has steadfastly stuck to this position ever since. One of the most striking findings is that 204 out of 226 polls since July 2017 have shown Remain ahead, with just seven for Leave, and 15 ties. Since July 2017 the public has wanted to remain in the EU. Why can parliament simply not admit it and end the whole disaster? Oh well never mind.

Poverty is not the root cause. The black community and white liberal apologists like you are. There are plenty of p@ss poor white, Indian, Chinese and Polish kids, however they generally don't go round carrying knives. Its a culture fing, innit? An incoherent argument written by someone whose views stop an open debate. First Poverty, then culture. There's still crime surrounding white and Asian kids from poor backgrounds, it's just different. Working class white boys are still the biggest underachieving groups in school and pretty disenfranchised - in the 80's they were regularly associated with hooliganism. Polish kids are mostly 1st generation immigrants. There's been falls in crime around areas of big eastern European immigration, mainly because people move because they have aspirations of improving there lives thus making them less likely to be involved in crime.

Not signing up to Schengen and not joining the Euro are probably the best decisions ever taken regarding the EU (except voting to leave of course).

And still the number one destination is here once they get into Europe. Probably because the EU countries are not stupid enough to pile housing benefit, child benefit, free healthcare etc etc etc upon them.

So can you imagine what would have happened had we signed up to Schengen! Mr Polowski of the Polish Embassy issues a Schengen visa to Senor Gomes and his 5 dependents to visit Poland....oh wait they want to go to the UK instead, that's ok, of course you can courtesy of Poland.

You are absolutely correct. Crime is associated with every colour, creed and ethnicity. Certain crime (like you mention white kids and football violence) are prevalent with certain groups. Knife crime is a black thing. Has nothing to do with poverty, all to do with culture, lack of values and sh@t parenting.

You cant see freedom of movement being a problem....really. This discussion was about illegal immigration and whether ending free movement would impact that. It wasn't just about the merits, or not, of free movement. If these "scum" are illegals then how does free movement assist them to arrive in the UK? Between the Schengen area countries yes, but into the UK?
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

Plenty of organised crime originates in Eastern Europe. Like Moldova and Turkey and other countries outside the EU who are not likely to be in the EU in my lifetime despite the transparent bollox cited by the leave campaign. And what has this to do with knife crime by teenagers of commonwealth extraction? And since you insist on maintaining this off topic point if you go to Blackpool hartlepool or Carlisle the perpetrators of knife crime are all home grown whiteys.
