Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Oh my bad , guess you didn't understand what you were being asked so you'll probably want me to ask you again in 2 years time.
Tick tock :-)

Dil, Burnley like a lot of depressed areas in this Country voted out thinking wrongly that leaving the EU would mean less immigration meaning low wages and conditions would be stopped.
Unfortunately for them and us they didn’t count on immigrants from outside the EU coming instead which would result in the same I.E. wages and conditions being kept low.

The difference is Stan we can pick who we allow in instead of all and sundry having the right to come in.
Fred , chin up old bean , won't be long now.

brexit will cast a long shadow for many more months, with the overhanging threat that JRM and Boris will contrive to allow labour into power - and then there will be NO brexit

Chances of labour getting into power in the next election is no greater than Fred getting into space.

Surely there must be a way to achieve that, …………….getting Fred into space I mean.

Point taken Dil to an certain extent but we have to force the lazy employers in this country to train their own staff like they used to do rather then poncing cheap labour from abroad as much as they have. Millions of people left on the scrap heap and a massive drain on our finances for years needs to be put in reverse.

This cheap labour from abroad, are they fully trained then, or are their work related documents taken at face value?

UK unemployment is at a 43 year low. I'd love to know who the millions left on the scrap heap are...

Dilbert,
The government can control undesirable immigration easily with or without Brexit, simply by removing some of the reasons why immigrants choose to go to the UK (ie. free housing, healthcare, benefits). That was their promise in 2010 and they've failed miserably.
Do you seriously think Brexit will change any of that?

the ones with worthless degrees who couldn't accept they weren't worth in excess of £25k in their first job
i'm pretty sure european courts decreed uk was not allowed to discriminate

An EU member state can easily control immigration without needing to discriminate, Cyners. We've discussed that previously.

Manuel,
It depends on how you measure worth.
Some may consider you pretty worthless.
Pretty is probably the wrong word.

That's not a solution hils. Only way it would have been acceptable within EU rules was if it were applied to everyone.
We shouldn't have to punish our own citizens to control immigration.

You can easily change the rules without punishing you own, Dilbert.

Nah hils. Cammy tried to persuade the EU on that when he went looking for a deal before the Brexit vote and all they offered was some half cocked temporary measures.
It's not just about immigration anyway , look at the way Poland and Hungary are flouting the rules and there's nothing the EU can do about it.
The whole thing is a shambles and we may be the first to leave but we won't be the last.

Dil,
You will have to stop looking over your shoulder in hope.
