I am convinced there will be no deportations to and from the UK in the event of OUT winning. It's in no one's interests. I would expect it to become a lot harder for anyone here to go and work in the EU, as it was when I first did it in 1972: it took me four months to get a visa and work permit, for a job as an assistant in a youth hostel.
In the event I'm sure it would lead to tit for tat expulsions of ex-pats (so that's why it probably wouldn't happen), but it looks like new laws will have to be enacted. Leave have not thought through the consequences of their actions (or they have and they don't care). And at the moment the law is so stringent such that touring bands from Senegal, Mali and other West African countries find their tours cancelled by the Home Office under anti-immigration. Some big names have fallen foul of this.
Chrisull, yes, ridiculous! (I also love my African music) and this is why I am moderately anxious... You just don't know and there is too much at stake.
Having read some of this thread (no not all) I can honestly say I have no idea how this vote will go. I work in a team of 8 of which 3 are voting to go. The rest of us including me are undecided.
It will be interesting to see how the papers go on this as they will have a major say I feel.
As for Trump please don't give him the launch codes!!!!
The bunch of Little Englanders, Pound Shop Enoch Powells and to quote the Prime minister "fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists" have a groovy tune which I think gives us a glimpse of a future where such people hold sway
