    We employ a really nice young Irish lad he's a programmer and a fairly good one, he moved here in 2014, so what's going to happen to him on November 1st?

    And for information we interviewed a lot of British people for the job although it was hard to find applicants at the time, this lad was the best.

    I don’t think this happen personally, not on that date at least. We’re trying to send a message to the EU that a no-deal is a real possibility, bluff or not, it’s just a message.

    If it was to actually happen then I’m just glad that there will be some equality in the visa process (spousal/marriage), both for Brits and EU citizens within the UK.

    Should have been like that from the get-go,second-class citizens in our own country otherwise with a two-tier spouse-visa system,absolutely ridiculous.
    One in every 10 prisoners in UK nicks are Albanian,thank goodness we are getting out and shutting the door.

    Let's be honest.
    People voted for Brexit primarily because of uncontrolled immigration from Eastern Europe.
    Everyone (British) I have talked to in work since before the referendum feels the same.

    There were many other reasons too.

    You want to fact check that statement?

    The Sun of all newspapers reported in 2018 that there were 716 Albanians in UK prisons that's out of a prison population of 83,000.

    So more like 1 in a 100.

    I actually missed the 0 off the end as I was eating my dinner :Dand that's just albi's without Romanians,polish,czech etc prisoners.
    Just up the road in Londinium the face of the high-street in some places is changing with multitudinous polski sklep and Romanian shops everywhere,everyone who I know who voted out did so primarily because of ridiculous amounts of immigration flooding areas of choice.

    Factor in the rest of the free-movement criminals and it might.

    4,600 EU nationals in UK prisons, figures from 2016.

    Under an EU prisoner transfer agreement, Britain has the right to repatriate EU member inmates to serve out the remainder of their jail terms.

    So what's the problem and why are they still in UK jails.

    I’m not so sure we are screwed Keith, it will continue as normal for Brits, I’m just discussing the inequality for the majority of Brits who have wives from outside the EU.

    Whatever the costs to the route it just needs to be equal for all residents of the UK. I exclude you of course as you chose a legitimate alternative route of which you exercised your right to do.

    The whole country is not racist, Keith.
    Most people had enough, quite simple really.

    A lot of us have Filipino wives and have travelled extensively.
    If you have not noticed the fabric of our society has been affected in a negative way, you need to get out more.
