European Union Vote
Hugo:
Brexit was never going to be easy because most "divorces" are not usually amicable but I think that immigration played a major part in the result.
Despite all the truths and untruths what never came across clearly was that the UK had more immigrants from outside the EU than immigrants from the EU itself.
I heard on the evening news this week that the UK had intercepted a large number of migrants coming over the English Chanel from France. That announcement seemed to imply that the UK government had actually prevented the migrants from entering into the UK. After all by definition the word interception implies that they have stopped or prevented the migrants from completing what they set out to achieve.
However, as usual that was not the case, all they did was to escort those migrants back to the UK where they are processed and then released into the community with certain conditions such as reporting to authorities on a regular basis.
Most immigrants abscond and are never seen again but the UK needs to tighten up its procedure and deport any illegal immigrant that does not meet the criteria that is set out for acceptance by the UK

I've read a lot about what would happen if Brexit doesn't happen and the Lisbon treaty, due to come into force in 2022. is enacted if we remain in the EU. After a Google search I came across this :- https://fullfact.org/europe/viral-list-about-lisbon-treaty-wrong/ I am now much better informed
Ian:
Yes; fullfact is a great site and does a lot to eliminate the sheer volume of outright lies purveyed by the right-wing brexiters. Good on a lot of other subjects, too.
