The Euro zone is f***ed. Look out for another Greece situation this year, but add in at least 3 other countries who don't fancy paying their way.

It's not about "probably". "Is there a way refugees can get to the UK without passing through another country?" Yes there is, as I pointed out at the time with us being an island. Also, its notable that a lot of refugees to the UK arrive via air. There are probably four key ways a refugee can 'turn up in the UK' directly 1) They are already working here, or come on a work visa and changes back in their own country make return dangerous (5000 Syrians refugees in the UK are here because they cannot safely return). Often changes in a nation can leave entire embassy staff and families stranded 2) Air Travel. Immigration at Air Ports deal with a lot of Asylum cases. They'd be refugees. 3) Freighter - Ports often get people jumping ship or who have taken roles on freighters, who then on arrival will claim Asylum or refugee status 4) Something like Sporting Events or Festivals / Performances. These allow for people to travel legally to the UK, via other countries, and the UK could quite conceivably be their first port of call. 5) A fifth one I thought of, is by seeking sanctuary and refuge at a British Embassy.

There you go, nick. At least 6 ways. 4) has happened with both the Olympic and Commonwealth games in the UK.

It's time for us to depart this failed project. Our grandfathers fought for freedom from this cr@p, yet here we are throwing £52million a day at faceless beurocrats on their wims, letting in thousands of immigrants that add NOTHING to our society, only bring division and hate. We're an island, the NHS and all other public services are creeking under the strain. People who have never paid into the system are taking advantage of our dopey benefits system. London is unrecognisable, people jabbering away in their native tongues, ghettos and all other sorts of 5h1t. VOTE OUT!!! Edited by fed up eagle (22 Apr 2016 1.55pm)

Re: "Jabbering away in their native tongues" - I totally agree and it'll be great when we leave the EU and are able stop all those Africans, Asians and South Americans and Russians coming to visit/stay. If we had a Donald Trump we could build a 10metre high wall along the entire coast but none of our politicians have the backbone. 'But they'll get in via planes!' - I can hear some people shouting. Not if we plant drugs on them they won't.

So Obama says a Brexit vote could impact on the "special relationship". Oh no - what would we do without a lord and master to drag us into ever more pointless and un-winnable wars?

There's only one reason why the USA is sticking their oar in and that's because there are growing calls to break up their own union, from their own citizens.

Why has no-one asked the most important question; Does a 'Leave' vote mean we no longer have to do EuroVision? could be the deal breaker for me....

Nah it'd be as dull as this referendum. Along the lines of "If you leave us, Texas, Mexico will invade you and we'll just sit back and laugh". "And as for you, Alaska, the Russians will attack and all you'll have for support is Canada... CANADA!"
