reedom of movement by European Union nationals into the UK will end overnight from October 31 in the event of a no deal Brexit, Priti Patel has signalled.

Theresa May's government had wanted to crack down on freedom of movement as soon as possible after the UK left once new legislation had passed through Parliament.

Boris is starting to get some traction.

"How No. 10 is taking back control" The government is in campaign mode. All leave has been cancelled and No. 10 staff are expected to work 11-hour days at a minimum: daily meetings at 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. reinforce this point. Ministers are summoned to regular no-deal preparation meetings. The number you have to attend depends on your seniority. Tory HQ is going through an overhaul and its ‘attack unit’ is being strengthened. Talks are under way about how to expand quickly if a snap election is called. The latest plan is to enlist staff from right-wing think tanks on secondment.

Very good news. Then he needs to start cleaning out the fascists in government that are bowing to the Muslims and end the practice of allowing in anyone from the commonwealth. Get rid of Sharia courts and laws and return Britain to the place it should be in the free world.

“...movement by European Union nationals into the UK...”

I thought EU member countries retained sovereignty? A person cant be a French national and an EU national, can they? Did this guy just let the mask slip?

Correct. Republic of Ireland is EU, Northern Ireland is UK. So to prevent freedom of movement into the UK from the EU, you have to have controls on the border.

They stopped allowing “anyone from the commonwealth” way back in the 1950s.

Since then, they have allowed immigration from the commonwealth based on the UK’s terms.

Though, the news from Boris Johnson’s cabinet is that after cutting off the EU migrants, they will replace with commonwealth migrants

Firstly, it was the article that mentioned it

Secondly, it wasn't a guy who is implementing the policy - it is Priti Patel

Thirdly it's shorthand for nationals of EU countries - a person is a British citizen and a member of the EU nations so gets both benefits

Quite correct, Priti Patel effectively said that she will implement SOME kind of border - it may be this spot checks and cameras - but they haven’t yet got anything like this in place.

OR they may be considering putting a border in the IRish sea between NI and the rUK — THIS would work but the DUP won’t be happy

This was always the solution. The DUP is just going to have to accept that they cannot prevent ID checks - that would effectively mean holding the entire UK hostage. Unacceptable.

For the DUP, if they agree to a border in the Irish sea it ends their entire raison d’etre. That will destroy them permanently, so they will oppose it.

BoJo I feel will get tacit consent from Sturgeon in return for a indyref 2 agreement.

There won’t be a border at the Irish Sea. There will simply be ID checks. If you’re a Brit living in Northern Ireland, no problem. Just bring your ID along. It would not be tough to pick out the Romanians let alone the Arabs and Africans from the natives.
