PLEASE READ WHAT IS WRITTEN - IF the UK LEAVES THE EEA then all those citizens will NEED A FULL PASSPORT TO VISIT THE UK ,not just the ID CARD THEY HAVE NOW
I cant believe anyone could be so thick ................ THAT WILL BE A DECISION FOR THE UK TO MAKE. As it stands at the moment you only need an ID card. Apart from at the airport or maybe as identity in the bank, when would you ever need an ID in the UK .... it is not a Police State .... we don't have ID cards.
Unlike many of the sentiments expressed by those anti-Brexit, pro everything EU posters on here and demonstrating against democracy on the streets of London, the Brits do not act like petulant little children and spit their dummy because they cant get their own way. Yes, the UK has been a pain in the butt for the EU Commission for decades because we spotted years ago the way Europe was heading and tried to get them to do a bit of rethinking. They didn't, they just carried on with ever greater integration toward a Federal European State. (Pied Piper of Hamlin anybody?)
So Britain says "Look, we will still be your friend and carry on as friends do but sorry we don't want to be part of your Federal Europe so, if it's OK with you we will back off on the Federal bit ..... but there is no reason we cannot all go on benefitting from that which is good and carry on as just friends ....... WE JUST DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF YOUR FEDERAL STATE OF EUROPE!"
The Establishment never for one minute thought Brexit would happen ...... but it did, and it has rocked them to the core. Effectively, the EU Commissioners have declared economic war on the UK in retaliation for daring to question their authority. Not a cleaver thing to do as NOW the discontent is spreading, the very foundations of the EU are crumbling and more people in the union are expressing their discontent with the arrogant and self serving 'management'. They want change too but the 'management' are still not listening.
So many posts on here are obviously anti-British, in some ways understandable as we were once the Imperialist masters, but to applaud and rejoice at Britain's current temporary difficulties just shows that people like that are not friends at all. What the EU is trying to do to the UK economy is spiteful revenge for deciding to do what the people want, not the Establishment.
My advise to those people ...... it's your turn next!!!!
If you want to see what bowing down the wishes of the EU bureaucrats does to your country ...... take a very good look at Greece! A proud country and a proudpeople left an impoverished nation because when given the chance to make changes, with the mandate of the people, they chickened out. The people's demonstration of democracy was ignored by their government and the people paid the price. Be careful what you wish for.
