Voting to leave the EU isn't going to necessarily change that either, but I agree it gives the possibility to change that. There are also a considerable number of UK citizens working around Europe that would also be affected if we did exit the EU Freedom of movement. Leaving the EU doesn't mean an end to free movement. It only gives a potential capacity to do so. Countries like Norway, who aren't part of the EU have signed up to the 'Freedom of Movement'.

Well no, it doesn't, because that's not how the ECHR functions, in the slightest. The UK would still require a highest court of appeal, and this has been the European court since the 1950s. UK asylum and immigration policy must still remain within UK Law, and the ECHR only becomes involved where conflicts exist within two or more different legal status in law.

The Human Rights act would need to be revoked from British Law, as it was introduced by the UK Government, through all legal and due process, in 1998. This is where most of the conflict occurs, typically when the UK Government tries to do something that is actually against its own laws.

Hyperbole, this wouldn't really ever be viable, and the EU doesn't really have the capacity or authority to implement this. More sinister, is that the EU represents more of a Corporate State of Europe, than a United states of Europe.

God save the queen, for king and country, Lloyd George and all that bollocks - We don't govern our own country, we have an elite that does that and damn it, we have our own rich elite w*ankers who dictate our lives etc. But its all hyperbole.

I'm all for leaving the EU, but in no way is it dictatorial or dastardly. Its simply necessary to redefine the nature of the EU and shared European identity, in a manner that represents the people of each nation, not commercial powers (which is the real power behind the EU).

I suspect that the UK breaking with the EU, will likely inspire further breaks from the EU, resulting ultimately in a different kind of Union further down the line.

Problem is, the illusion that the referendum will actually change anything. Even if its an exit, we will still be a nation ruled by corporate interests and their representatives.

Probably because Ireland is a separate country from the UK, but plenty of Irish citizens wanted to retain a British Identity etc.

Bloke I worked with in my previous role, spent 20 years in the British Army, and was Irish. We only found out when he failed Security Clearance (not a UK National) that he wasn't British, he was sure he was.

They always did jamie!

It's only the likes of Nick Clegg and his Liberal namby pamby class that were against them.

All law abiding citizens have no problem with the need to carry ID to prove who they are.

Would make life that bit more difficult for illegals and terrorist types to continue living here as easily as they do now.

To be fair I'm approaching thirty and my youthful looks keep getting me IDed. Not being a driver they would have made my life easier as I'm f*cked if I'm carrying my passport everywhere.

Those with a Commonwealth passport living here can vote...At least EU nationals have a close connection with the EU....but people rarely seem to raise this anomaly allowing Commonwealth nations to vote in all our elections...
