A Night Of The 'bum's Rush', To Come If May Gets Her Way?

[sandyRoe]

Not since 1290 and King Edward issuing an edict expelling all Jews from England has such a proposal been suggested or enacted. It's not likely to make the negotiations for a smooth Britex any easier.
Strange times, or what?

It's not as though it wasn't known before people voted:

[Old_Geezer]

If that concerned she could ensure records are kept of those rushing to meet a deadline so their claim could be considered separately to those already here. But even if she didn't bother, how many will find employment and so be eligible to remain anyway ?

[Zacs-Master]

This is ALL EU nationals OG, not just those without jobs.

[Old_Geezer]

I believe that folk here legitimately, regardless from wherever, have rights to stay. I don't believe there is any opportunity to just sling folk out. Besides think of the repercussions regarding British ex-pats abroad. That is just ridiculous.

This is what people voted for on June 23rd. Immigration was far and away the most talked about factor in peoples voting intentions. Get rid of those foreign immigrants was what I heard from BREXIT supporters.

So, I am not sure why anybody is surprised now ?

[naomi24]

sandyRoe's wooden spoon is at it again - and those prone to hysteria fall for it as usual. No such proposal has been suggested - and it's doubtful that such a proposal will be enacted. For heaven's sake, get a grip!!!!

[Old_Geezer]

No Mikey that is not the full description of who told you what. Immigration was to be controlled and hopefully reduced. Immigrants here who have come in under EU passport rules and are simply living off of our taxes were to leave. Those employed were never expected to be told to move save by a vanishingly small minority of racists who found no benefit in what the 'leave' camp were supporting and so fantasized that improved border control from the 'leave' camp would result in something more than was ever claimed or desired. I think that you are mischief making.

[mikey4444]

No, not mischief making at all OG. I spoke to dozens of people in the week or so before the vote and almost 100% said that immigration was a major factor in their choice of voting LEAVE.

The great difficulty in the whole debate is that very little light was shed on the outcome of voting, whichever way people voted, but plenty of heat. Lots of questions were asked but few were answered.

Even now, we still don't know exactly what is going to happen in a few years time, when we have eventually left the EU, if indeed we ever really do.

You can hardly blame all the immigrants that have settled here entirely legally from being a trifle worried about their future. The same must be said for all the 100,000's of Brits now living in Europe.

Its clear from the msn link, that Mrs May has still not made her mind up about this issue.

Mikey, //almost 100% said that immigration was a major factor in their choice of voting LEAVE.//

I believe that. Uncontrolled immigration is a problem for this country. That, however, doesn’t mean that everyone from the EU is about to be ejected. This is just more scaremongering.

//Its clear from the msn link, that Mrs May has still not made her mind up about this issue.//

You can’t see it but what is clear is that she has made up her mind. She refuses to rule out deportation of EU nationals – and she’s right. A refusal would give carte blanche to anyone from the EU who wants to live this country which, after we leave the EU, would leave us in precisely the same situation that we’re in at the moment. She is protecting our options.

[Hopkirk]

It is probably a starting point for future negotiations.

[Peter Pedant]

I must say I thought it was a question of Law and not politics
[whether people lawfully here could stay after a change]
and that it was clearly yes

does make the Nuremberg Laws pale in comparison ....

Sandy - large scale expulsions were enacted / done after the great war ( Turks and Greeks spring to mind )
and after the second world war
Stalin ( ha! ) and the volga Germans, Ukrainians, Crimean Tatars
Czechs and anyone not czech - Benes Laws
Uganda and ugandan asians
Kuwait and Jordanians ( thought to be collaborators so they were all deported ) after the liberation of Kuwait
Saddams Iraq and their Jews ( who had stayed on after Babulonian liberation 539 BC )

its not as rare as you think ....

[Old_Geezer]

...nd no benefit in what the 'remain' camp were supporting ...

$^*/#$$// lack of edit facility !!!!!!!!

[sandyRoe]

PP, but rare in England?

[Peter Pedant]

but um sandy we re still in the EU !

[sandyRoe]

And long may we remain. I talked of forced expulsions to show to the Britex supporters that there'll be a heavy human cost comes with their chosen course of action.
