Too damn right! Once we had a respected and efficient customs and immigration service and our borders were properly controlled. Then politicians dismantled it all leaving the shambles we have today, much of the responsibility for which falls heavily on Mrs Mays inadequate shoulders.

Well he did not print the 350 mil on the side of the bus and the poster was a factual portrayal of people trying successfully to cross borders illegally.

How will the oxygen thief do his paid job in the European Parliament? You know, the one he was elected to do on behalf of his constituents.

The UK's borders or...?
If Germany decides to fast track its current influx then they become full German citizens and therefore EU citizens. So our borders can be circumvented by changes in the law in other countries. |

His radio show is in the evening - are you still at work at 7pm every day - and he will have the ability to do the show from Brussels and it's only one hour a day.

Everything to do with Britain's borders. Other countries cannot control who arrives in their country, every arrival could be fast tracked into citizenship of that country. Every arrival could eventually have the right to enter the UK to live, to work, to avail themselves of the NHS and much more and we would have no right to deny them that ability as EU citizens. Criminal records would be unknown from original country of origin. IT was far from dishonest it was on the button. WE cannot control who becomes an EU citizen and therefore who has rights in this country as an EU citizen.

Now let's turn that frown upside down and into a positive. Think of the Brits here now. Look at all the opportunities being in the EU presents to us. We can choose to live and work in Sweden, Italy, France or Germany. Traffic flows in both directions. Outters could do with remembering this.

The current call from Andrew in Brighton highlights how Nigel puts forward facts on immigration (the jump from 30,000 a year between 1950 and 2000 to the growth towards the 300,000 now) and also how untrustworthy Tony Blair (Iraq) is.
Whatever anyone says about Farage they cannot say he isn't a brilliant debater. |

Crossing borders illegally which is what was happening. The borders of the UK are in many ways similar to the EU largely because we have no control to whom other countries decide to confer citizenship. Normal processes can be fast tracked if so desired.
If Germany decides to fast track its current influx then they become full German citizens and therefore EU citizens. So our borders can be circumvented by changes in the law in other countries. When was the last time you flew into the country? Open boarders? No border checks? |

Of course we will, the next GE will be the test of that agreement whatever it is. Most of the parties are politically savvy and know what will cost them votes and what will cost them power. It will be interesting.

That dreadful Farage bloke implied that it was a pic taken of a UK situation. The poster was totally misleading bordering on deceitful.
And it has done. Except, of course, for the leaders. They have made a packet from it, to the detriment of many. |

When was the last time you flew into the country? Open boarders? No border checks? Now, for anyone else not in the EU/EEA there are border checks because they have to either have a work visa, be visiting on a tourist visa or indicate when they'll be returning to their home country. Showing an EU passport is not control of the border. In the Schengen Area there are not even passport checks for EU citizens. If you can't understand why that isn't becoming a catastrophic policy then I don't know what will enlighten you. The longterm aim of the EU is to create a single country with a much diminished level of democracy and national sovereignty. |

There's a difference between checking your passport and border control. Anyone who holds an EU passport has access to the UK and they cannot be stopped for not having a work visa or not having health insurance. Entry is guaranteed. There are random checks on criminal records, but not thorough ones.

Any UK citizen who holds an EU passport has access to live and work in other EU countries. Look at all those opportunities. Opportunities denied to Brits outside the EU. Are we part of Schengen? The UK is made up of four countries. Think of it as a mini EU. What is the problem? We are stronger together than we are apart. What with Putin and that chump Trump in the States, the EU needs to be a strong counter balance to both. You cheer the UK leaving the EU but fail to see the very real concerns and dangers of a weakened EU. |

The last time I came through customs at airports, I was ages. Iris checks, checks by humans...the lot. This whole 'open borders' business is a total myth cooked up by those who want us out of the EU. Anyone who travels a lot knows that the nonsense Ookip (and similar) peddle is simply nonsense.

Opportunities denied to Brits outside the EU.. Brits had access to live and work in other EU countries before we joined, I know that because I did it myself. |

'Open borders' is not about customs checks but immigration control so it's you who's peddling the nonsense there.

The term 'open borders' implies just that. That the borders are open and unchecked. This is a false-hood.
...but it was much harder. The world is getting smaller not bigger. You're trying to make out it's falsehood when the false is actually coming from you. |

The fact remains that the poster was misleading and inflammatory actually. I take it that you voted to remain part of the UK, then? I would have too if that's what the referendum had been about. Something we weren't allowed to have a voice in, in that other referendum.![]() BIB: Did you say the same when news outlets were showing the same and similar footage of the migrant crisis in the EU for months on end? It was obvious to most of us that the poster said "The EU Has Failed Us All." That is, it was about what was/is happening because of the EU policies forced onto member states. Let's not forget that the EU hierarchy's next step was to force countries into taking their allotted share of the burden which they caused in the first place. |

So you voted on a UK referendum did you? I don't know; maybe that's why you still can't get your head around the result?
