Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit

[Scot Dutchy]

One thing we still don’t have in the UK is ID cards. I’m pleased about that in an irrational sort of way.

We dont either as they are optional. It is easier carrying an ID card though being the standard credit card size than a passport and being a small country you are very quickly over the border. Schengen still requires you to be able to identify yourself to those that have the power to demand it.
The trouble in the UK you dont register so nobody knows where everyone lives. Here you must register your residential address at the town hall.

In what was is it 'trouble'?

You have not got a clue how many immigrants you have or how many are coming and going.

I don't give a rats arse how many immigrants we have. There's plenty of work and they'll go somewhere else when there isn't.

Without immigrants we wouldn't have our national dish.

Fish & chips?

Hi, not to intervene but I'd like to hear Scott and Rum discuss this topic more. I've my own opinion of course, but I'm curious about yours.

Chicken tikka masala.

...which is officially the most popular dish in the UK these days.

Happy turkey days!

..not so happy for several million turkeys mind..

[Hermit]

The Wikipedia article about chicken tikka masala is quite informative.

In the UK all children are taught the recipe as infants and preparing the dish is now part of the citizen test.

No? How does anyone know who lives where? The tory government failed to use the EU regulations to control EU immigration and the blamed it on the EU.

I agree. I've always been for compulsory ID cards. It should have been done years ago. And compulsory taking of finger prints and dna of everyone. Including at the ports.
When did an innocent person ever suffer from being identified?

But at least, once we are out, the government will not have anyone else to shift the blame onto.

Not that we will ever be out. I think we need Farage back. They really are working at it to not leave.

Really, how does one actually 'give a rat's ass' - or not for that matter, particularly when it's a flying rat's ass?

[Brian Peacock]

The government have been talking about official assessments and reports into the economic impact of Brexit for over a year, and now they say these reports don't exist. Hmmm.

Brexit studies were 'being prepared' a year before Davis said they didn't exist
