- nutjob2 7y agoThe immigration policies of the UK are very much not representative of other European countries.
- jorblumesea 7y agoThat's not my point, you don't see UK under the microscope. Just seems to be another case of "US bad/Europe good".
- llukas 7y agoUK is not in Schengen zone - so it is not "Europe" - even EU citizens go through customs when entering UK (unlike within Schengen zone).
- jorblumesea 7y agoThat's not what I'm getting at, I'm not debating Europe vs "Europe". It's when a Europe area country does something, everyone seems to give them a pass. When the US does something similar, it's viewed with a different perspective.
- llukas 7y agoWhich country in Europe has has policies affecting 300M+ people (domestic) and eagerly exports it's policies to other countries?
- nutjob2 7y agoYour point is not valid. Try reading the UK press, like The Guardian and you'll see that's not the case.
