wow what a threat... I think the entire future of a nation should be decided on a miniscule and inconsequential knee jerk reaction.
They are not EU citizens, they have no right to stay in the UK so if they managed to get there they could just be deported. If they come illegally they can just be deported. Its small money. Think bigger picture. That is no reason to Leave the EU. Scare tactics indeed.

Its difficult to deport someone who threw their documents away. You have to stop them from entering unfortunately. Of course without being in the eu could we just deport them to the Falklands or Gibraltar or something?
 
Before we join the common market NHS standards were the best in the world..

...education standards were the best in the world.

...before the explosion in new member states and free travel house prices and rents were lower, and wages were higher in the 90s.

Correlation is not causation. There is very little reason to think these have been affected much by the EU, and a lot of reason they've been affected by the on-going legacy of Thatcherism.

The EU is just a medium for companies to get there way, it does not care about its people, it just focus on the consumer.

Working time directive? Clean beaches and rivers? Cleaner air? Lead free petrol? Co-operation on CFCs and climate change? Lower roaming charges? Better holiday entitlement? Improved energy efficiency?

No, the EU has never done anything for us.

The influx of more people pushes down wages in the UK many reports agree, the only people to benefit are the wealthy.

The evidence is a bit mixed but there is no evidence of any negative effect on employment and if wages have been affected at all the effect is small. Meanwhile everyone in the UK benefits from increased cultural diversity and the economic benefits of immigration.

This is from an in campaigner!

 
That was double pay for central London.

So you got 4.5 for central london, and that figure is closer to £7.50 per hour now and it is post slump as seen the by the wage graph, which is REAL wage adjusted for living costs.

Incompetence from an in campaigner does not prove anything, just like the incompetence from the out campaigners don't. Give me facts and figures not opinions and anecdotes. If it ain't a graph, its daft ;)

The ones that come through the tunne can go back to France. As for the rest, create a hell hole of a camp in the Outer Hebrides.

I never got 4.50 I was on double pay so it's 9 I worked 21 hours a week, does it matter as the same job now pays 2 pounds less after 17 years.
Look at the laborers they get paid less now then back then.
1999 student loan had to be paid back once you were earning more than 21k what is the rate now is it less.

You telling me that more immigration from the eu to the UK is better.

your post did suggest that you earnt £9 per hour and that you would get double (£18ph) if you worked a sunday...

I used to get just over 9 pounds stacking shelves in sainsburys when I was a teen later 90s, that's 17 years ago, I was offered double pay for Sunday's.
They get 7 an hour these days, a clear wage deflation for the same job, and where do you see double pay on sundays now.
