I think the ferry companies allowing hoards of migrants onto their boats from Calais is highly unlikely, especially as they would have passport and visa checks before letting them on. In fact, it is in the French interest to make sure the port operates as smoothly as possible. So no, I don't think this vote will change the situation in Calais at all.
 
First post in this thread be gentle....

Does anyone actually think they are going to come out of all this happy?

You've given the majority conservative government in a largely pro remain house of commons with a weak opposition the right to negotiate an exit from the EU on your behalf.

People who voted remain - unhappy
Scotland - unhappy
Ireland - unhappy
People who voted leave based on immigration when we get a freedom of movement deal - unhappy
People who voted leave based on bureaucrats / meddling when we end up in an EEA/EFTA style agreement - unhappy
People under the delusion Britain will be great again - unhappy
Business / finance if we spend years negotiating individual trade deals - unhappy
Everyone who finds out that £350 million a week really didn't get you much - unhappy
People who voted against the establishment who find the establishment haven't gone anywhere - unhappy

So who wins?

Daniel Hannan on a news debate this morning

"Yes, we will be looking to take back some control of our borders"

Some, Daniel....Some? There's an adjective you weren't using before the vote....

The leavers have swallowed the lies all along and now we all have to suffer the consequences.

They went out in Burnley and spoke to 'the average person in the street'....omg, the reasons they all gave for voting leave....what a bunch of thick ***** :(

Reading all the arguments here from Leave supporters, it's clear that the win came from the propaganda machine more than anything.

Which is super ironic when Remain supporters are called 'sheep' - merely the propaganda talking yet again.

He doesn't understand a lot of things.

Oh wait, I just checked he is older than me, so I obviously understand even less than him!

It has been perminently used by Liechenstein.

Can you demonstrate how this would work in practice?
Chap from Romania comes over, he is seeking work, we have 'applied' the brake.
He says he is here for holiday instead, enters country, we lose all track of him.
He goes and works on the farm anyway. Or has a N/I number from his last trip here, and can use that as we haven't any ability to revoke NI numbers.

Have you any information on when Norway used their brake, and how it actually functioned?

Norway aren't very exposed like the UK is. However an employer always carries out more checks than just an NI number. It prevents exactly what you are describing. For example you could leave the UK and become a US citizen with no UK passport. Then apply for a job in the UK. You would effectively need a visa. You already have an NI number but you can't get the job without the visa.

Second referendum....

Pathetic if you cant be arsed to get your backside and vote the first time (read younger me me me generation) then tough. Welcome to the world and not your little bubble.

A second referendum is a far far bigger outcry than the leave vote.

rofl so this is the new mentality then.

Each time any of the predicted problems pops up, there's going to be a default position of "BLAME DC"

Hilarious!

Yep and the next few years of austerity, increased taxation and rising cost of living will not be put down to leaving the EU either. Oh no, we've taken our country back so of course those things will definitely not happen, we have CONTROL!

Out with the conspiracy theories again, a good default fall back of the Leave side

I notice you conveniently ignored what I said about the change in rhetoric from Hannan...

I think it's going to be quite a shock to people who voted leave, that things won't actually be all good.

All we've actually done is handed a currently fairly moderate right wing government unfettered access to do whatever they want. And it's only going to get more right wing.

The country (UK) is divided, and it's only going to get get worse before it gets better.

Will Britain be great again? It already is if you ask me, but we're never going to return to the rose-tinted nostalgic view of pre-EU Britain.

We just spent 5 long years of austerity dragging our economy onto something resembling a good one, and we're likely to go back into recession for a few years until all these trade deals are worked out.

We've already been told that the £350m (a spurious figure anyway) for the NHS was a liemistake, and one of the leading candidates for our next PM has already said he likes immigration, and wants to give an amnesty. We're also unsure as to what is actually going to happen, with free movement and so on.

It'll be a few years before it's all sorted most probably, and some of it is probably going to be pretty horrible.

Unless you are seeking employment you will still be able to travel and work in the EU on the automatic visa you get on entry.

There were an awful lot of misinformed people voting remain, you only have to look at some of the utter twaddle in this thread and others about how we won't be able to trade with the EU because we won't have a trade deal (lol), or we won't be able to live and work in the EU (also lol).

Wow. You really think we have all the benefits of being in europe without the drawbacks. Amazing and worrying.
 
Kenai said:
People won't be interested in that.

Stop the immigrants was what this was about, along with backlash against an EU that have been scapegoated for every ill for the last 20 years whether they had anything to do with it or not.

If anyone truly thinks this vote would be a precursor to electional reform, they're barking mad.

Oh i know. They'll be just as disenfranchised in 10 years and the spin will still be working.

Conspiracy theories? Yeah right. The spoon feeding is strong in you.

Lets go and interview some remain voters and I bet you will find equal numpties on that side of the coin too.
