80peter   10 #3313 Posted September 19, 2018 Not really a problem as they will then be effectively politically emasculated and can therefore be ignored. They will just end up as vote fodder for the BNP, a revamped UKIP or a new UKIP 2.  Maybe history has shown us old movement's can be reborn given the right time.

the_bloke   17 #3315 Posted September 19, 2018 More Brexit related disruption. "BMW to close Mini plant for a month post-Brexit"  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-45561908  Why on earth is the government just standing by watching this nonsense happening?  You do realise they close it for a month every year?  'Annual Shutdown' is a giveaway.

tzijlstra   11 #3316 Posted September 19, 2018 We had no choice to allow EU nationals to come here under the moronic free movement rules.  We had no choice in allowing them to come here, we did however demand that they showed their passport when doing so.  Amazingly, countries that ARE part of Schengen (so no passport) have managed to restrict benefits to migrants from within the EU rather effectively. Ergo, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Luxembourg and several others.  Keep up the dream Penny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Top Cats Hat   10 #3317 Posted September 19, 2018  You do realise they close it for a month every year?   Yes, during August and it saves tons of their workforce all booking leave at the same time to go on holiday.  If you read the article properly you would see that the summer shutdown has been brought forward six months due to not knowing what will happen after March 29th. thereby minimising any disruption to production (like not being able to get their Diesel engines from Austria or ship completed cars to Germany.)

Longcol   602 #3320 Posted September 19, 2018 Apparently, they all brought 2 friends from outside of the EU with them, lol  Up until the referendum was announced, 90 odd percent of rants about immigration on SF had been about people labelled as muslims / islamists / asylum seekers / bogus asylum seekers (or just pakis when the BNP were active in the early days).

I1L2T3   10 #3321 Posted September 19, 2018 We had no choice to allow EU nationals to come here under the moronic free movement rules.  One of the four freedoms is free movement of labour. Note the word labour.  Other EU countries have very precise systems for making sure that it is workers that can freely settle there, and not just anybody without means of support or work.  We of course didn’t bother, but there was never anything in the EU rule book stopping us implementing controls. We just didn’t do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Lex Luthor   10 #3323 Posted September 20, 2018 Until we leave in March, or until the expiry of any A50 extension, then A49 can be invoked. As for threats of violence against MPs if we as a country bow to that it is the end of democracy. I am sure it’s at the back of their minds ( or maybe at the forefront if they are receiving death threats) but it should not shape policy.  ---------- Post added 19-09-2018 at 18:46 ----------   Depends where we are in the process I guess.
