I'd just like to say thank you to Angela Merkel for making England free. I hope Nigel and Boris paid her enough

Was it her that made us free ? What did we vote for then ?

If the EU had been more flexible about the migration issue, I'm sure most people would have voted to stay.

No, Early of Lewis, the EU couldn't be more 'flexible' about free movement of labour. The whole point of it was to enable the free movement of cheap labour EU wide or, alternatively, the free movement of capital to areas of cheap labour. You of all people don't imagine the EU is a social democratic project intended to help workers, do you?

Clifford. The free movement of people has been a boon to our economy. Most of our building sites and hospitals only run because they are staffed by immigrants. What is so bad about that? They've got jobs ffs. As a psuedo Marxist surely you should welcome that.

If you want to complain about anything complain about our government that lets them be employed at lesser rates that our countrymen. Yes it's our government who does that, not the EU. And it's wrong.

A bit illogical there Zebedee. I'll spell it out slowly: i) the government lets people from the EU 'be employed at lesser rates than our countrymen'; ii) the EU free movement of labour exists to enable employers to recruit from areas with lower rates; iii) the government is keen on the EU. Do you see the connections?
