On paper we have more control. I find your reverse ferret thinking on this strange, given that we were always a sovereign nation, yet you tried to pretend differently, just because the UK agreed to make compromises in return for other benefits. The claim was it would stop the only uncontrolled immigration - FoM from the EU. Which it has done. It could reduce overall numbers, as the UK government now has all the necessary powers, excluding interference from ECHR judges, and even then UKG can ignore that if Parliament so chooses. 15-05-2024, 07:34 AM in response to #46554 Meerkat Wrote: The claim was it would stop the only uncontrolled immigration - FoM from the EU. "We will control our borders, money and laws" is a phrase I have heard constantly. I have never heard "We will control our borders against the EU only, money and laws". Research has shown that leave voters believed overall immigration would be reduced. Are the voters thick or was the message different to what you portray? 15-05-2024, 08:47 AM in response to #46620 NWS Wrote: "We will control our borders, money and laws" is a phrase I have heard constantly.
