UK to end freedom of movement for EU citizens on day one of Brexit, under new plan

Why does ending free movement stop perfectly skilled britsh people gaining employment in Paris, should an employer in Paris wish to employ them?

Are the EU going to become xenophobic towards us overnight?

That is entirely the fault of British workers for choosing not take advantage of the benefits of freedom of movement. Rather than using their initiative and drive to seek out better opportunities elsewhere, they'd rather wallow in their low paid warehouse jobs while blaming migrants for their crap pay.



An increase in barriers to settling elsewhere i.e. the withdrawal is freedom of movement is a loss of personal freedom.

You are correct though there are a minority of deluded people who seem to blame immigration on everything, but there are minority of people who think all sorts mate, Queens. Reptile and the earth is flat for exteme examples

Greater cost and regulation. You will need regulation and sponsorship. Will make it easier to employ someone inside the EU.

Just guess it's difficult to wrap my head around borders in Europe. I've honestly only ever grown up being a European citizen and a US citizen, two systems which both have freedom of movement. (I know it's not the same thing). I'm simply just excusing why i'm pretty sad that it's ending.

No it won't make it easier, I never suggested it would or I don't believe anyone else did

We will be free to make our own immigration policy as we are already doing as we speak, the EU may wish to act against the interests of its member by making immigration harder for non members, that's up to them. I do agree it's highly likely to because the EU are not acting in the best interests of its own members at all. Its the EU that's been acting in this way that caused Brexit and will probably cause an Irish boarder also, we wont erect one!

Again I repeat if the EEC/EU had not changed so much this would not of become a problem for us. There is no trade block I am aware of that insists in open boarders,

Its the fault of British nationals wanting to stay in their own country(ies) rather than go elsewhere? Why shouldn't they want to stay in their own country? Just because they could leave doesn't mean they have to.

That is not what I said. However, if you come from say a poor Northern town like myself, you either move or accept limited job opportunities and a low standard of living. This isn't going to change once we leave the EU and Brexit supporters are going to find themselves very disappointed.

You are misguided. It isnt acting against the interests of its own members its acting to protect them. By default if you arent a member of a club then you cant expect to enjoy the benefits. The EU is more than just a trade block.

It is that's right, dispite not having a mandate for being anything more than a trading block. Im happy to remove ourselves from the benefits of paying billions a year more than we get back

So you believe that they are people looking for an excuse to reignite the flames, to be fair you may well be correct. However I think it's important to remember that is an excuse rarther than a genuine reason

Of course it had a mandate for more than being a trading block. “Ever closer union” was in the Treaty of Rome from 1956. Each subsequent treaty change has been ratified by the democratic governments of each member state.

I think there are many people that would love to reignite the old troubles, but yes it would only be an excuse but enough of one for the likes of the UVF.

You may be correct, however I'm uneasy about allowing some terrorists hold the UK to ransom.

Me too, but that's the card the EU and remainers are playing.
Personally I see no reason and more importantly no desire on either side ( France excepted) to put up a hard border in Ireland, Macron can kick and scream as much as he likes but it ain't gonna happen.

I don't know how they will do this without breaking the Good Friday Agreement (aka no hard border in Ireland).

Say they end "Freedom of Movement" but not for the Republic of Ireland-Northern Ireland border.

Now an EU citizen comes to Dublin as they are allowed to do so, then drives to Belfast and from there gets to Great Britain via ship.

You could say "Great Britain can just ask for the ID of people coming from Northern Ireland" - that would be treating Northern Ireland differently from the rest of the UK, which the government and the DUP don't want.

So good luck with ending freedom of movement.
