But...

I've always been a bit curious about this claim.

Does anyone know exactly what will be different if we left the EU, with regards to settlement rights???

Of course it would be safer.

Firstly no one would have an automatic right to come here and certainly not to work or claim beefits.

Secondly we would be able to remove far more easily undesirables.

It's what the 'leave' lot do not want to hear and very far from nonsense
The Scots nats have already said that the UK voting to leave the EU will 'substantially change' the conditions under which the vote against Scotland's independence was made and give them a second vote on the issue.
The French Premier has said ''The arrangement for the border to be in Calais will have to change if the UK is no longer part of the EU''
Think of it logically, how can you have a border in a country that is in a different political situation with different entry requirements?

[youngmafbog]

Errr Eddie many counties have a border with others, even in Europe. Take Switzerkand, not in EU but has borders with it.

From what you are saying we get a two for one deal, no europeans and no Scottish.

As for the Calais border, as you well know, that is a separate agreement between franceand uk, nothing to do with EU. The French wil keep it, they need our trade.

^^ We do NOT have a land border with the EU that is the important part of the argument and is what keeps us separate. But once Scotland leave the UK and join the EU (as the SNP, who have all but 1 Scots MPs, is determined to do if we vote to leave) there will be a land border between a non EU England and an independent EU Scotland. There will be unlimited access to Scotland for an EU citizen and what is there to stop them just walking, back over the border?

A bigger Hadrian's Wall? Where's Donald Trump when you need him? ;o)

The SNP will say anything to try another vote on leaving the UK. It's their obsession. I find it difficult to believe the Scots wouldn't see through it and opt not to rejoin the EU and be dictated to by Europe.

With regards to Wales; do they have a constitutional right to secede ? And if they do would they be so foolish to opt for it ? Land borders and splits within this island is not something to cause lightly. It costs, and "divided we fall" is not a common expression for nothing.

The trick is to be in a nation, or nation group, that makes sense. One that is small enough to feel a proper part of, with folk you feel you have a lot in common, and yet not so small as the benefits of size are lost. 8000 square miles is too small, especially when you are part of the same island with a couple of other "family" countries. Not to mention a third just over the water. Whereas a continent sized group is too large, it'll be tempted to dictate to you what you do.

It all seems a long shot to me: something more akin to scaremongering.

Stay in the EU and you have no control over how its rules change when the unelected elite decide to impose their latest rule change. So a lot of this thread is simply moot.
