EU migration increased the population by about 60k last year, which was the lowest increase for quite some time.
Wonder why that was?

There are restrictions to it, outside of the fact that people only have a right to seek employment during the first three months and the criterias are entirely set by the member states.
No I was curious because I never really hear any valid reasons for leaving. At this stage I am genuinely looking for valid reasons for you leaving, because it's probably going to happen and it's going to feck my country up when you do it. When the reasons are simply because it makes certain aspects of your working life easier, it's not exactly great, is it? I genuinely can't see anything beyond selfish reasons whenever people try to present any.
If you didn't vote leave then fine, my mistake.
Democracy working as usual... people voted out but the politicians decided the brexit voters are all stupid.
Actually after 3 months they can claim looking for work benefits. Only after 6 months can they be removed if there's absolutely no chance of them getting work.
It's incredibly easy to demonstrate you are looking for work, when in reality you are not. Some Brits on the Mersey have been doing this for decades, for example. Though I expect most EU citizens will find work, we have entire networks of employment agencies set up just for that purpose.
So, you’re saying that government are incompetent but you want to transfer the power of lawmaking back to them?If Westminster struggles to have any kind of grasp on reality outside it’s own bubble, what chance do you think Brussels has? The transfer of powers is only going one way
Will this go to the supreme Court now?
But in his explanation he was talking about FoM within other countries, it didn’t make sense. Maybe he wasn’t explaining it very well.Whilst I didn't vote leave, you shouldn't discount this. I have a sister I have seen twice in 23 years because I was born in the UK and she was born in Nigeria and keeps getting denied a Visa even for a visit even though she has 2 brothers and her mother who are British citizens
I’m not disagreeing with that. But my point remains why did you vote leave on THAT issue? Why not take it up as a seperate thread with your local MP etc. it’s really unrelated to the EU and the benefits that people will lose nowFairer immigration, not free movement.
Out of interest does FM of People exist anywhere outside the EU?

Besides what has Nigeria got to do with Brexit/EU immigration? If anything non-EU immigration has been rising.
Yeah, 17th September I think. Not sure what happens if they rule it's unlawful aswell. Parliament recalled perhaps?
Anyone know why they took this action in a Scottish court over an english one?

Presumably it's simply because that's where the case was proposed. It will go to the Supreme Court which is UK wide anyway.
Again not completely disagreeing but I don’t think it all conspires to stopping your relative getting a tourist visaRead other posts, one does impact the other, but fundamentally its just UK law. Look into cost of higher education for instance
As Corbyn said, Johnson has been rumbled.
He was referring to Ulrika I think.

I mean it’s definitely caused a few problems, Steven.The long term goal is to have a competent parliament. Brexit has simply shone a light on this country and its problems, not caused them
The Scottish Nats will eat up this kind of rhetoric, the union is toast under Johnson.

Good. I am sure Wales and Scotland are tired of us imposing right wing governments on them.the union is toast under Johnson.
The people (although it's mainly @WensleyMU and @Cassidy if I have been reading right) who're arguing for Leave because of "fairer settings for non-EU immigration" have either to be on a deliberate wind up or (if genuine) are just completely oblivious to everything that has happened within this process.
I mean, one has to be completely blind to the toxic environment of the Brexit/Ukip/BF/Tory-Mob that has set its course to think "Ah well, if we end FoM, this will help the UK implementing policies that will ease and increase Non-EU immigration". Even ignoring the fact that the UK had power to make rules for Non-EU immigration all along, do you honestly think the "Control our borders" narrative will result in a better environment for immigrants in the UK? You just have to look at how even Labor are constantly dodging Immigration and FoM questions (which is quite pathetic from a leftist perspective to be frank) because they're afraid of losing even more voters to the "They're stealing our jobs" crowd. Nevermind the freaking tories, who most likely will be in power for a couple of years once the UK has left the EU; you would be even dumber to put any hopes into them implementing immigrant-friendly policies.
Hate crimes on the rise, Murdoch papers obsessed with muslims/Africans/Asians and Tory/Brexiter (and in the past many labour) politicians falling over each other on how tough they will be on immigration but I'm sure that once FoM ends, they'll all turn around and try to make it easier for people from Thailand or Nigeria to come over, yes totally.

And then there's this today too.....
Wales apparently quite enjoys it.Good. I am sure Wales and Scotland are tired of us imposing right wing governments on them.
yeah but look at the difference between Prods and Catholics. People keep bringing unification up but when around half the country would be insanely opposed to it seeing as they believe they're British, not Irish, then exactly why would it make any sense to happen?
Not to mention that the South won't go for it either.
No I'm not suggesting that at all. How can you possibly divulge that from what I said.Are you suggesting Nationalists in the north should just forget about the principle of consent enshrined in the GFA? It's one thing unionism imposing their will on a nationalist minority from the creation of the state it's quite another to think nationalists should/would accept it from an eventual unionist minority too.
