What worries me are the remainiacs who continue to insist that we leave the EU under a 'soft Brexit', in other words to leave but at the same time to agree to continue with a free-trade and
free movement agreement, which is basically the same as remaining as we are now!
They think that in trying to persuade the powers-that-be that a 'soft Brexit' is the way to go they are quite likely to succeed.
We must continue to insist that we want to leave the EU without any strings attached. If we just sit back an ignore them it may, I feel, encourage them that we are beginning to accept their 'soft Brexit' proposals.
Hi
It is a bit far fetched to suggest that only remaniacs want a Soft Brexit.
You may want a hard Brexit, others, including myself, do not.
Free movement has never been an issue for me.
We have 600,000 illegals here, first priority should be out they go.
Secondly, we allow in more Immigrants from outside the EU than we do from inside the EU.
We don't need to leave the EU to sort that one out.
Thirdly, we have to ask ourselves why we have such massive numbers of EU Migrants here in the UK.
We need to address our Benefits system, it is a nonsense, migrants should not get more out than they pay in.
Fourthly, we have to look at our training of people.
We charge our own £000's to be HGV Drivers, then we import HGV Drivers.
It is a nonsense.
We could train our own for free, then they would not be on Benefits and we would have no need to import people.
The Swiss are a pragmatic bunch, a very successful nation, outside the EU, they had a Referendum which decided on ending Free Movement.
They are looking at implementing that by passing a law ensuring that all jobs are advertised solely to their own Citizens first, and that only when the Employer can prove that there has been no response, can the job be advertised to migrants.
That makes a lot of sense to me.
