one out all out: a brexit from the modern world and every one of its problems please (we're all gonna die lol)

I'm not sure they've ever really tried to make anything easier in the past. They've tended to talk up the idea that the UK is open for business while making things as difficult as possible.

The system, as it stands, is pretty much designed to ensure that potential migrants a) don't bother b) give up or c) are rejected on technicalities - that's not going to be sustainable if you're funneling new EU migrants through the same route and expecting to maintain London as a European commercial centre. The numbers and qualifying metrics (particularly around salary) are like to be quite heavily controlled but the processes don't necessarily need to be quite so aggressively awful.

Settled status applications are a shitshow waiting to happen.

I was going to say, I don't think the Brexiters went through all this shit just to end up with a UK outside the EU that opens borders and welcomes all migrants.

Tough shit.

Live by the sovereignty, die by the sovereignty, or something.

Thankfully Dominic Raab has come out with an incredible new policy. Asbos for businesses? Yes and ho!

so listen is this going down tonight or what

and did she rly threaten the dup with a "no-deal will mean the end of the union"

The vote? Thought that was tomorrow. We should probably start a new thread by then, assuming it doesn’t get shelved again.

Vote is tomorrow, inshallah.
