i can understand accepting refugees, but why the uk never really means tested people coming in, like australia does, is beyond me.
sure immigrants cannot be the excuse for everything, but in a small country like the uk, it doesn't need more people that can't really help.
some places really are unrecognizable, it's not just like your 'china town' that some countries have, but in the uk there are litarally big areas of just foreign people, to the native pale uk people, of course this is uncomfortable that other people are in a way, taking over areas of your country, no matter how small or isolated with regards to the big picture of the whole country.

so i can completely understand that some people want to try and put an end to it.

We have a points system for people coming in from outside the EEA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Points-based_immigration_system_(United_Kingdom)

If you mean for people coming from within, well, you can't, free movement. Which is apparently why majority voted to leave.
sure i mean points for inside eea, but yeah i guess that takes defeats of the point of being a member :D
but i can't imagine why motivated hopeful people WOULDN'T move from a poorer eea country to a richer one... if people are willing to risk life and limb to travel from warn torn countries to try and get into the uk, why wouldn't people from poorer eea countries do it? (and they do, the uk had a cap on romanians and bulgarians for 7 years i think)
but there has to be more of a restriction, which sure, the eu doesn't like.

That's the funny part: If they stay in the common market (which they will), they'll still have to pay their member fees and they'll still have to follow the Schengen treaty (free movement) - only difference: they can't participate in the rule making process anymore.

Isn't that funny? Dumb populists fucking over a whole country by lying to other dumb people with false arguments? Nigel Farage is the biggest troll in UK history.

Oh, and: most immigrants to the UK come from the Common Wealth, not the EU.

This.

No idea why people think we will get to stay in the market and get a different deal to Norway in regards to movement of people.

So many butthurt and in-denial Remainers and EU-supporters, makes me smile :^)

I can only hope that parties like Sverigedemokraterna, Perussuomalaiset, PVV and AfD become more popular and usher in an era of emboldened Euroscepticism.

Remember, Remainers, if Democracy doesn't go your way, you can just call everyone who disagrees with you racist, stupid, just going to die soon, or any other form of baseless attack! Democracy and free speech are only good when they help your agenda, right? If it's democracy you don't like, you can just call it 'populism'!
