Why?

That would make no difference we follow UN Regulations.

Others can evict illegals in week, we take years, if at all.

We are bound by the EHCR - its this international law which prevents us from controlling our borders as we would like.

We should also ditch the UN - it's useless.

Re: What a mess.

I don't know what the fuss is about. Before lockdown people were coming and going so yes we'd have high migration but it wasn't a static situation. It would have been impossible to measure because of the volume of visitors and leavers.

That's less so now because Covid has created a bit of a gridlock everywhere. Plus there's a deadline for registration so people who have doubtless been living here for years without necessarily being registered to vote are now making their status official so that if they do leave the country they will be able to come back.

The trouble is that we are going to need lots of people to come from abroad to do jobs people are either untrained for or don't want to do.

We have had these debates in the past here and people have their opinions on this but the fact is that there is a big labour shortage in certain sectors and professions. If these aren't filled by Europeans then they will be filled by people from outside the EU. I think a great deal of Europeans who would previously come and go have left.

The Antipodean and South African 1-2 year visas were severely restricted. That scheme used to work pretty well, young people coming here and they were hardworking and had great parties.

Re: What a mess.

Hi

One of my reasons for voting leave was to stop our Politicians from blaming the EU for things that are entirely our problem.

They are still doing so and many are gullible enough to believe it.

No Eu Country is as stupid as the UK when it comes to illegals.

Germany and France can remove illegals within weeks, we take years to process them.

This has always been the problem, the Horse bolts, and no one can see the point of shutting the gate, they prefer to keep replacing the Horse.
