No, the nearest we have is the European Union, which is what we're discussing here, where there is free movement among 28 states, none of which have turned into cess pits as a result.

no ?
I made no comment on this point. As someone who favours free movement and has worked in support of Refugees and Asylum seekers you can probably ascertain my veiws lol
But what I will say is the Government Immigration Bill 2014, was completely at odds with the Equality Act 2010 in so much as it forced Landlords, who aren't exempt from S3, unlike Government ministers and Border Officers, to check the right to rent of tenants, to apply a test which is illegal, by virtue of being racist, under the Equality Act.

Government has lost the legal case regarding the 'hostile environment' Right to Rent scheme from the 2014 Immigration Bill.
The government basically failed to conduct any test for discrimination based or nationality or actually even monitoring the scheme.

The HO tried to suggest that the fault lay with landlords rather than them. That if the pilot was leading to discrimination, it wasn't their fault, it was due to discrimination by landlords. This was rejected

The judgement is scathing about the scheme and the 'hostile environment'.
Given that the government policy has caused significant harm and was effectively engineered to do so, coupled with everything related to Windrush - there should be a public enquiry into it. Especially as we are set to 'take back control of our borders' under Brexit.
A truly awful set of people running this country.

There's probably a good dissertation premise in there somewhere.

Ancient Greece, which I suppose serves as the foundation of modern democracy and civilisation, regarded free movement as a marker distinguishing liberty from slavery.
Almost all of the great civilisations through history have encouraged and thrived through immigration. Ancient Rome, China, Africa and South America.
It was only under laws of Chattel and Slavery that free movement became much more limited.
