Typical left-winger, thinking the far right have taken over the country (Just look at the Hamburg riots to see that the Left). Acid attacks on Muslims has probably increased, but so has the targeting of young white girls, which is hardly ever reported.

How do LBC know more Europeans are leaving than coming to the UK. Have Europeans stopped emigrating to non-EU countries, because of the EU ties?

EU Migrants move to the UK for the better opportunity. We pay one of the best benefits in the EU, as well as our education (UP to 1 and Health service being free of charge no matter how much you earn. No wonder there has been an influx into the UK from the EU.

I am a strong believer in free movement if you have something to go there for. If you move to a country to claim benefits and stay unemployed then that is wrong. I want my taxes etc top look after the vulnerable British people first, those that have been in the armed service, or just those that have not been lucky. EU isn't a state, it's a Union.

Lots of callers into the show explainedwhy they are leaving.

I imagine the positive spin on this [Link] is that those pesky Europeans won't be able to fly here.

I don't really think there's any spin necessary. Is O'Leary seriously being considered as a reliable source for ANYTHING these days?

Honestly, I've seen some dodgy sources (on both sides of the argument) but that one just about takes the biscuit

TBF it's not the first time I've heard about the landing rights etc. Hopefully we can just carry on as before and transfer current arrangements. This is Theresa May we are talking about getting us through this though.

True and I'm taking nothing for granted, but nobody will want flight restrictions (on any side).

However, O'Leary is just a total tosspot (I'll probably be charged extra for that). Even in that article he seems to be gloating about European airports having more growth than they can handle (surely that's not actually a good thing).

Still, if it means Ryanair no longer fly from the UK, then I'll be happy.

As much as I agree with the free movement, I don't see why the ECJ need to have jurisdiction?

The EU argument is that, if they don't, we can just "change our laws" and screw any EU nationals left here at our whim. Not sure why that's different with the ECJ - surely we could equally agree to it then just change our laws and write the ECJ out afterwards?

I'm curious as to why. Upon what basis do you agree with free movement?

For me I am happy with free movement if those immigrating have jobs lined up, or actively looking to work in the UK. I discussed my version a few posts up, I don't agree with immigrating and taking advantage of a country's system.

Couldn't the laws change in the EU? I mean if they think the UK will change laws, couldn't they after also?

To a limited extent I agree.

A government should be able to allow jobs to be filled that it deems necessary. Still, I wouldn't really call this free movement....A bespoke version of it perhaps. However I would be careful with a system like this as it's open to obvious abuse.

I would have limited low skilled immigration.

All while we have ridiculously high incoming immigration levels into this country our housing stock situation worsens and worsens.

Along with the check on immigration our government needs to redouble its efforts into house building. It needs to start the long process of making up for the almost criminal actions of housing neglect that previous governments have allowed.

Mogg made this point on Question Time and it's very cogent.

Stop the short term obsession with house prices and move your arses for the coming generations.
