Freedom of movement is a fundamental freedom to live and work where I wish in the EU. Why should it be taken from us, what for. Brexiteers are lemmings diving over the cliff. There's a couple if not a few issues here. I do sympathise with you, because you've been given something and it will most likely be taken away and I do believe that anyone who has come here before Brexit has been finalised and probably a little after should be allowed to stay if they wish to do so.

Funny how capitalism equals credit, but anyway talking of capitalism my credit card was stolen a couple of weeks ago. However, I have decided not to report it, as the thief is spending less than what my wife normally does......

I am not against freedom of movement. I am against freedom to turn up at someone else border with no money, no job offer, no accommodation, or family sponsor. I am against that individual being entitled to access to social housing benefits, healthcare, education. Now if that person says I have a well paid job and I don't need any of those things then fine. My parents wanted to emigrate to the USA to live with my brother, fair enough they said but don't think we will be providing for you so my brother had to sponsor / guarantee them.

If people can take it as well as give it....and stay within the rules then that's the kind of thought diversity that I like.

Update: Edited by Badger11 (04 Oct 2018 1.44pm) We have seen 'white flight' from previously culturally homogeneous cities like London and Birmingham and so on......I have the idea that the end game will be 'English flight' from the country.....On far larger scales than now. I think that's more likely than wide scale violence simply because the issue with that is it's a lost battle....all you're going to do is hurt many innocent people. Still, that's going to happen because a fair few haven't realised what's been happening....they think it's never going to affect them....when the s***e really hits the fan it isn't going to be pleasant. But it's a lost cause. The country was given away by the boomer generation and they have raised their kids to celebrate it....most of the boomer generation will be dead by the time the chickens come home to roast.....though I'd say that time is unfortunately not that far off. There's going to be a kind of redoubt country for Europeans......Maybe Hungary.....Hell Victor Orbán has already intimated as much.....I fear what's going to happen if there are no redoubts. I'll never permanently leave the shores of my country but I'll be sure to advise my children to get out before it gets too bad.

An anecdote on true capitalism, I was speaking to a Chilean diplomat about the issue with their privatisation of state benefits. The gentlemen was moaning that they still needed projected support, however the fact that they lost the bulk of their money due to 'churning", and commission rip off was and is just part of the market's operation.

But national borders must be maintained. Capitalism cares little for borders but as citizens of a country, we must protect our interests. Politicians are supposed to do this on our behalf.
