Does that really apply to EU people moving to the UK for an extended period?   £24k min income!  Health Insurance!!!!!

I have never heard of this and can't believe that it is simply that UK Govt has chosen not to apply rules.  This would surely have come up as part of the "people flooding in and undercutting Brits" argument?

We have exactly the same ability to impose such rules, just our governments have chosen not to for various reasons.

If people have a problem with immigration, its a problem that should be taken up with our government not the EU.

actually we do have similar rules if you want to stay permanently, (though I can't see explicitly where it says this says to EU citizens, I can't see where it says the opposite either)

I guess we have the right to work in Greece in non permanent/non residency rules  just like everyone

Radio 4 this morning was a treat of why we, the people shouldn't decide. We are largely idiots.

Paraphrasing:
"yeah, we should get a businessman to do the negotiating. Alan Sugar, he'd get a good deal"
"The EU have made it hard. They aren't a Union at all, they're a big gang. I'm even more sure we should leave."
"We should rock up and say no deal, then turn our backs and walk out. You'd have 27 countries running over the hills to negotiate a deal"

Did you stay on to listen to Humphreys interview Theresa May at 08:10?  The Maybot needs a reboot.  It was painful to listen to.  No vision, no passion, no message to the listening public.  Just a tired litany of soundbites and jargon.  Left you with the impression that there's no one in charge.

No, I was in work by then. Thankfully.

When Brexit secretaries resign over Brexit negotiations I think its fair to say May was in charge. I don't mean that in a positive way either.

Now....They're going to have to pull a full warren out the hat to get a deal through.

I genuinely fear for her, she looks dreadful (if you compare pictures of 2016 and now this is aging her in front of our eyes) and has the charisma of a dead fish.

One of the pleasing things about the debate the other night was discovering that there are actually some younger MP's with a bit of charisma and fire in their bellies.

Unfortunately MP's start off like that and end up like May or equivalent.

It's 100% true that we have always had the ability to control EU migration but successive governments chose not to. It's actually worse than that because we don't even record who is coming or going.

Once again a problem that people ascribe to the EU is a wholly domestic problem that has been blamed on the EU bogeyman because it was politically convenient to the government of the time.

So was this ever in bold on the side of the remain bus, if not why not.

Probably because Cameron was a complacent prick who underestimated the public feeling.

Though there was this from  Home Secretary May under Cameron

So how does that square with those that insist she is a remainder, albeit a lightweight one

Indeed, something like this video should have been released pre June 2016...
