Hic! All those tea drinking remainers fretting over their rich tea. Edited by Stirlingsays (01 Feb 2019 1.21pm)

I'm not sure that is good news. If EU citizens will be able to make short-term visits to the UK without a visa after Brexit takes place on 29 March......how is that stopping certain people with 'EU' citizenship coming into the country and then 'disappearing'? Not free movement as you would have to hop over the channel after your 90 days for a day then re-enter, but near enough. And vice-versa of course it is reciprocal.

I also thought the same thing. Seems pretty much identical to the system in place now so if you voted on the controlled immigration ticket...

We lost that race. China is ahead of everyone when it comes to AI. And the gap is only growing, despite the best efforts of the west.
Pound for pound we punch well above our weight in AI, so much so that you can only compare us with the largest economy in world as a comparison. However if you were talking industrial and corporate espionage (just look at the latest Huwaei stuff) then clearly i'd happily agree.

It is not freedom of movement but visa free travel, which is completely different. Although no visa required people will still need to satisfy Immigration Officers of their intentions eg US nationals are questioned on arrival, Latvians are not. After Brexit both will be questioned. There is a difference

Only if you satisfy Immigration on arrival, see my previous reply to Stirlingsray. Non-EU nationals do the "hopping" now, if Border Force do not believe they would be acceptable back from whence they came (ie they claim to be visitors but are actually living/working there) or are not satisfied of their intentions in the UK, they can be refused entry

If someone wants to come to the UK from Europe using an 'EU' passport.....they can....and they can disappear into the country when it's time to go.

If there is a reason then police here or abroad will question you, or whatever, just as it is now. There is no discernible change here from being in the EU or not a member.
