    More than I know people who complain about someone coming over here to setup a business and employ people.

    Quite a few. Can't bate the Polish supermarkets for Pickles and Paprika crisps!

    As an aside, I once saw a Polish man in Tesco. Can't remember what he was buying. I probably should, seeing as the phenomenon of a non-Irish national shopping in a UK based business in Dublin would be remarkable enough in and of itself.

    Question: When you considered the implications of a bluddyfurrinner shopping in a bluddyfurrin shop in Dublin, what harmonic interval did your cognitive dissonance-o-phone produce?

    He, quite literally (and in the literal sense of literal as opposed to that silly 'litchrally' that all the jungwans go on with), did answer your question.

    Well done, you. Sending you a figurative (which is what is generally implied by the erroneous use of litchrally) patronising pat on the noggin!

    That's the genius of free enterprise, Doc.

    Anyone can set up a business, employ people, pay rent, pay rates and taxes.

    And provide goods and services that anyone can buy.

    Brexit was more a protest vote from the failures of movements such as globalization than those pesky foreigners

    Was it now, really? A protest at fancy luxury German cars, the latest Jap' Playstations and the delightful stirring hum of a Harley D' Softtail - by your average anti-globalist Dave & Daffny in Essex, Tyne or wherever.

    Nothing to do then with illegal or mass/uncontrolled migration events.

    Here's an idea playback any TV debate (Question Time, Newsnight) or any UK phone-in radio show, count the amount of times these exact phrases are used:
    a) Take back control of our borders b) Illegal or mass migration.

    Its keeping money within their own community when they could be supporting indigenous Businesses.

    Where do you think they're paying Vat, prsi, USC, rates, insurance, rent, mortgages, car insurance, car tax? Sneaky Polish business men and punters are sending it all back to Warsaw I'd say.

    And what does EU have to do with illegal or mass invitation, and how not being part of EU is going to help them?

    You're taking bit nonsense here.

    That’s incorrect, literally is not used to mean figuratively in hyperbole because you generally don’t use figuratively in a sentence but about a sentence.

    I haven’t read most of these thread, it seems to have devolved into a bourgeois sneer.

    However if the EU needs to survive we probably need a proper, tough, European police force.

    At the moment it’s like the US minus the FBI, which was fairly lawless for State hopping criminal gangs.

    The point was that 'Wanderer78' claimed Brexit was all due to 'globalisation', and not 'migration' factors.

    If (full, hard) brexit ever happens you just can't roll in from Bulgaria, Italy, France to the UK to live or work as is currently the case.

    Chances are, you'll need a visitor visa of some sort. But Ire may be exempt from most border checks, due to close historical, geographical and cultural ties between these Islands.

    Allowing free access to Ireland alone would be impossible given we have free movement with 26 other states

    Hence why they're all busy brainstorming what to do about the 'border backstop'

    I.e. The EU say there is no way every car can be stopped that crosses it to see who's in it, where they're going, and how much butter they're carrying in their boot from another state entity.
    An 'arrangement will have to be agreed'.

    Already if you fly in/out some airports UK-ROI, it's through a seperate section or area of the airport.

    What every single person won't be able to cross the border without being stopped? That scenario is very, very unlikely. Again, an arrangement wll be arrived at.

    Yes, well the border may well move vertically into the Irish sea, instead of 52oN.

    Even then there may well be a very slight (subtle) change in border approach to flights arriving in from DUB compared to FRA, MUC or TXL i.e. mainland EU.

    All flights into DUB go through Passport control.

    Yes, but having a wee Harp on the front, a few freckles etc may well (theoretically) result in much less, in the game of questions and answers.

    I can't be the only one who finds using location identifier codes so utterly pretentious. It's getting out of hand on here these days.
