Our lost voice was one vote in twenty eight.

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.

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?

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 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.

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

True. Now we can’t even share information with them though. It’s only made it worse, not any better.

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.

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.

Of course we do but we've lost access to the main information exchange.

Working to make the crossings safer? They should be working to stop them.
I have seen many examples of the non-cooperation but you seem to know better,

You don't really expect civility after your previous posts. Take your Brexit negativity and shove it where the sun don't shine.
It's easy to come on here to mock, criticize and insult. Any Joe can do that. It requires no substance.

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.
If we are not protecting our own borders properly, that is a matter for the British government to deal with.

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.

Just what thinking is that?

A land when if you don't belong to a set ethnicity or religion you get persecuted?
A land where women and homosexuals are persecuted?
A land where stepping outside of a very strict set of behaviors persecuted.

The hateful, racists, core idiology of the far right and the taliban are very closely aligned.

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