In anycase not everybody is a socialist as we can see from this thread. A fair amount of remainers on here have already stated how they have made money out of this and are quite well insulated from it. That'll include nice Nigel Farage - an ex-banker from the city who still pockets a substantial amount from the EU.  WHen you look at the amount BoJo, Nice NIge and the victorian Rees-Mogggggggg are due to pocket from leaving, you have to admit that Brexit is filling the pockets of the fat cat leavers? eh?

Swings and roundabouts as both remainers and brexiters are pocketing from this, but despite that how much are the above going to earn from it as I cant find that information.

This agreement with the EU was set in concrete, so to speak. The Brexit politicians agreed that this was unacceptable and was one of the key reasons for Brexit, as has been said so many times before. of course the answer is agree a more sustainable level by political means, over the table etc, and most probably not a withdrawal from EU membership, but that's how it's panned out. So immigration levels---- Most definable Brexit policy that is very good and useful to us as a country to ease our housing/NHS health tourism burdens. Now I'm no fan of Brexit per say, but there's one example that both sides do have reputable arguement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You literally don't have a clue what you're talking about. Which kind of makes sense since you're in favour of brexit. In fact, par for the course. 20 minutes ago, Shunter said: Easy.

The EU has and had no control over our immigration policy for peoples from outside the EU, and since we are (still) part of the free movement area we didn't have to accept any number of EU migrants, we had to accept all of them, any that wished to come here. But, we could (and chose not to) return them if they didn't prove to be productive members of society.  As a result of brexit though we are likely to have to accept far more immigrants from outside the EU, down to conditions imposed as part of the oh, so easy, trade deals that we will be desperately chasing for the next decade.  So, no, that isn't an example of a reputable argument, it's just more FUD.
