O/T. The people have spoken.....

The President of the EU parliament has said they're going to punish us as a warning to other countries not to leave.

Does that sound like an organisation anyone would want to be part of?

Think you need to read a bit more into that. With respect great fire bitterness is the word. It will not happen.

EU say they want us out ASAP. Agree eastos are no longer our responsibility. If they're not working send them all back now, yesterday. That money could be used for British people. Look at the elderly, care homes are being closed. They deserve to be looked after.

There's going to be nobody 'sent back' in the near future or, possibly at all. We remain members of the EU until the leaving process has been completed and freedom of movement continues to apply. The terms of our exit and the trading relationship that follows is yet to be worked out, but Switzerland, Norway and Iceland all accepted freedom of movement as part of the price for access to the European Single Market. We may yet end up doing the same.

As for the Europeans who are currently in the country, they have lives and jobs here. It would be economic suicide to 'send them back' and any attempt is likely to be blocked by the European Court of Human Rights in any event.

We can't send anybody back whilst we remain members of the EU. As for afterwards - see above.

Who do you think works in the care homes that you are concerned about? Eastern European and other migrants undertake a lot of the low paid work involved. Should we abandon free movement, two of the issues that the country is going to have to grapple with is the wage inflation that makes care homes even less affordable for the country and the fact that migrants tend to be of working age and are needed to balance the demographic in this country, which has an ageing population.

Typical out voter and clearly an uneducated racist....This is a fine example why it is such a sad time.

Where I work there's 1 Polish 2 Czech's 1 Dutchman and about 8 Somalians.
They are all good workers and great people, I'd much rather have them as my work colleagues than the oxygen thieves You see on the Jeremy Kyle
Show.
