Apparently there was an idea floated years ago about inviting the UK to be a part of NAFTA. It seems as though both Trump and Canada may want to update the current model and also invite the UK to join.......just speculation at the moment.......
Yes and it caused a big reaction from guess where the EU saying it wont work laugh as if the EU is workinglol
 
So you'd be happy with 1 million immigrants a year if they were all studying and employed?
Bruce there were stats that very little Indian students stay here - they go back educated paid for university places in fact after Brexit the student figures may well be taken out of immigration figures as they will have to have a visa to stay anyway!
no one gets to get rid of immigration just Free Movement - a visa system that controls our population from not just the europe, but all over the world!
 
Muh single market.


Its been shown to many remainers on the DP Andrew Neil show - they still deny those clips both sides knew a vote out was to leave the single market ie the EU - does not mean we can trade in parts of it though depending on the belligerence of the EU bureaucrats who may want to cut their noses off to spite their faces?
 
Turkey and the UK have agreed to negotiate a free trade agreement once the UK has left the EU, Turkey's economy minister Nihat Zeybekci announced on Thursday. He told MPs that the two countries have started technical talks and that the future agreement would be as large as the Customs Union Agreement between Turkey and the EU.

What with no free visa involved ? That's just not on as it is a fundamental right to have open borders lol
 
I'm not really sure where you are wanting to take this Bruce, via housing stock, available school places, hospital capacity, access to healthcare, access to benefits or whatever. For me this particular issue was never specifically about numbers, even though there will be levels that we just cannot accommodate, it was more about the UK having the right to refuse entry and have the ability to control the flow. Once Brexit is completed if the population and electorate are not happy with levels of immigration or whatever, then we shall look at the government of the UK and not the EU, the people will then decide what government they wish. It's just the difference between controlled immigration and uncontrolled immigration.......

I guess that's the question though isn't it? How can a government realistically control that? They could say they want 100,000 a year and they all end up in one town. Obviously that's an exaggerated example but it illustrates the situation. Likewise, I'm not sure where we have any notion that a government knows what skills are required (if they did then our education system might be better), so you're either left with a poor system or one that lets anyone in who has a job, which then returns us to the need to have an adaptability in local government funding that we lack at the moment and I've mentioned several times in this thread.

Unless I've missed it, there has been no comment from this government that they plan to do anything that makes local governments better able to respond to population change, so other than some apparently arbitrary number of people they wish to allow in, what are they doing to 'manage' migration?
 
I see one or two Europeans are a bit miffed......

"Axel Schafer, a senior member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Social Democrat coalition party, said Mrs May's hope that President-elect Trump will look favourably on the UK will come to nothing.

Referring to the shock election of Mr Trump, Mr Schafer told The Times: 'What changed is the likelihood of a speedy and preferential trade deal between UK and US.

'Even before Tuesday the chances were rather low, now the hope for this kind of deal seems delusional.'

The pointed remarks came after ministers talked up the chances of a close working relationship with the surprise winner of the race to the White House.

Mr Johnson said the Republican's victory over Hillary Clinton is a 'great opportunity for the UK' to build closer economic ties with America."

There's a real whiff of anti anglo from the EU.

Bruce immigration is great for skilled people or people we need - unskilled or un employed as it is now I have always poised the question never have the onset in HB tax credits, child tax credits been added to the financial cost of positivity of this freedom of movement, let alone the strain on services? - So what's wrong in controlling it by visas work permits like other major countries have?
if we have a major town or city to build to build every year + the shortage we have now how can it be sustained?
It comes to something when the hispanic people voted for Trump I heard one young hispanic guy say he was voting for trump as he his family had worked hard to gain a green work card in the USA and he was fed up of his culture pouring in over the border where he lived he felt hard done to, by them!
I nevers sensed for one minute he would say something like that the way Trump was portraying his people!
This was before the election I thought clinton would win by the way!
 
Nigels in the USA talking with Trump may be an ambassador to sort the EU out for the USA lol- LBC today

'I commend Donald Trump for the courage with which he has fought this campaign and I look forward to a closer relationship between the USA and the UK.

'We now have a President who likes our country and understands our post-Brexit values. 'Prepare for further political shocks in the years to come.'

Appearing on LBC Radio, Mr Farage said: 'Is he going to offer me a job? I'm hoping he might do.

'He will be in need of a proper Eurosceptic ambassador in Brussels for the European Union. I would rather like that job.'

He added: 'Being a foreigner will not disqualify me. If we can bring the EU down, it doesn't matter how we do it.'

I'd love to be there when Farage, Trump and Putin go on a bender.
