I believe if the UK could have chosen to control immigration from A8 countries, Brexit would have never happened.
I don't think it would have mattered if the UK actually did restrict immigration or not, it's more about not having the power to choose to restrict it.
- raverbashing 10y agoMaybe, and not necessarily a direct control For example, not giving unemployment benefits for those that just had arrived (though it seems this applies to all kinds of immigration)
- akjainaj 10y agoYou don't have to hate brown people (as you said up there) to understand that a system that gives benefits to people who have never contributed to it is not sustainable in the long term. And citizens from A8 countries are barely brown, anyway. ;P I believe political correctness triggered Brexit, and will eventually kill the EU (not only because of immigration, though)

- tom_mellior 10y ago> unemployment benefits for those that just had arrived Is/was that really the case in the UK? From day one? I hop on a plane today, take a taxi from the airport to the unemployment office, get in line, and I'll have unemployment benefits paid to me starting in February?
