Our lost voice was one vote in twenty eight. Originally posted by kuge
But Brexit is very influential on the refugee problem. We have lost our voice in the EU and we are therefore unable to change future policies there. In relation to international organised crime, which is what fuels most of the people trafficking across the channel, our exit from Europol which was not even necessary post-Brexit has robbed us of valuable intelligence. It’s quite possible that the criminals presently have better cross border cooperation and coordination than the UK has. There is no need to talk down Brexit it does all its own work in that direction. We are all waiting for a single benefit to be identified, nothing is forthcoming yet.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

There were only 8,000 last year TE, and possibly 15,000 this. Those figures are for those crossing the Channel. You forgot the ones who travel by air and arrive with no documents, those that enter as visitors and don’t leave. Eventually when they have been allowed to stay they will bring the families over. Where do you think it should end?

You are still going with the " voters were too thick to understand the issues " line. Patronising in the extreme Most still don’t seem to understand the knock on implications even though it’s now actually filtering through to real life.

They still don't understand what they voted for. It's still 'Project Fear' despite most the warnings coming true. They voted to protect our borders. Now illegal immigration is far bigger a problem then it's ever been because France have no interest in cooperating and we can't get the legal migration we need to fill crucial jobs because we've made it too difficult and/or put people off coming here with our close minded rhetoric. Edited by DanH (16 Sep 2021 11.10am) France has never had an interest in cooperating. They were more than happy to allow the migrant numbers build up on their side, as they knew that the racist UK was the desired destination. Was happening long before Brexit

Edited by DanH (16 Sep 2021 11.10am) Many don't, and still don't. But the same could be said of remain. Many remain voters who said this couldn't name their MEP or even explain how the EU functioned. The biggest issue we had was that UKIP held our biggest voting block and they had no interest in doing anything positive with that vote. The rest of the major parties couldn't get their act together and encourage people to turn up an vote. In contrast, the German's held the biggest single political party block, which meant they had MEP's in every department and committee working to serve their own best interest. Reluctantly, the whole thing is a bit of a s***show. MEP's are always going to be self serving with no real remit. We were never going to reform it and never going to take European elections seriously. Leaving was an unnecessary risk, but if we keep a close alignment with a bit of room for flexibility (ie that vaccine contracts) then we might realise that opportunity that being out is better than being in. Having a land boarder with the EU might eventually give us a stronger negotiating position than being in the EU. Project fear hasn't really happened as much as many predicted. If anything big business no longer have access to cheap labour which is driving up wages whilst house prices have slowed down. The thing to do now isn't to go on about rejoining, but try and shape it into an opportunity.

Can't we do all this stuff in a thread better suited to it?

As an EU partner France was more than co-operative, in fact it had to pay for the operation, which it sees as a UK border and ex-colonial UK issue using their own country as a conduit. And even now they are working to make the crossings safer. France has an enviable record on asylum taking 4 times as many as the UK and has been widely praised for its prompt humanitarian airlift from Afghanistan. The UK never thought any of its brexit issues through and its daily round of failures are simply its own fault. Anyone could see that brexit would increase immigration as is proving to be the case. Working to make the crossings safer? They should be working to stop them.

You don't really expect civility after your previous posts. Take your Brexit negativity and shove it where the sun don't shine. You think that membership of the EU would benefit us in the long run as regards refugees and international crime? You are deluded. Remember. Most of the international crime that affects Britain occurs because of the immigration policy that fools like you support. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (16 Sep 2021 12.46pm)

If Ireland is ever reunified it will be under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement, 50%+1, nothing to do with Brexit. There is no other scenario currently agreed. If Scotland goes then the rest of the UK will benefit from a flight of capital and people from Scotland. It's academic most likely as even the most Braveheart Scot is surely not so stupid as to vote for a country that likely will not be viable economically. Putting all else aside the currency problems are too big, especially around pensions. More money for Wales and NI. Edited by HKOwen (16 Sep 2021 10.53am) nobody want a united Ireland. Except for a few nutter Shinners...LGBT, BLM, Feminist action, Abortion, Palestine & a United Ireland. even the hardcore 'RA heads of Kerry have no interest in getting Arlene Foster into the Dáil. Ulster ? you broke it, you can keep it mate. ''nice to handle, nice to hold, but when it breaks, call it sold'' Edited by PalazioVecchio (16 Sep 2021 1.00pm)

Why not, try and be successful, then you won't have to worry about immigrants stealing crappy jobs and council flats.
