Yah what Scary21 said. This is totally unacceptable but I think the best you can do is to explain why you got to leave. And I second Flippers suggestion to "overstay" a bit (take a reeeeally long time to say goodbuy).

29What should I do?
by Tameria2001 inhello everyone, it's been quite a while since i was last on this forum.
originally i was under a different user name, but lost all that information when i moved to a different state.
anyways, i had left the jws back in 2001, after being raised up in it most of my childhood life.

It isn't in anyone's interest to tax imports. The UK will not likely get free trade deal, but it'll get a good deal that reflects the above
That's why it was perhaps not the brightest idea of all time to leave the most well-integrated trading block in the world and then try to negotiate a half-baked solution later... You are right, there will be a trade deal between the UK and EU, nobody is disputing that. What is not being disputed either (except by a very small minority) is that it will not be as good as what is currently in place and it will hurt both the UK and the EU in several ways.

Now the establishment is reeling around in horror, looking for someone to blame and in total denial, ably assisted by the UK press doing their shock horror routine.
They should have had their bases covered.Interesting theory. The wast number of experts concluded that leaving the EU would hurt the UK economy. More than half of the voters disregarded that advice and now the UK government is trying to deal with the fallout. It's a bit like taking a stupid decision and then blaming others for the decision being stupid...

Whatshallcallmyself: "The big picture" is expenditures vs. revenue from immigrants, i.e. how much they benefit the UK economy. Here is one quote:
European immigrants who arrived in the UK since 2000 have contributed more than £20bn to UK public finances between 2001 and 2011. Moreover, they have endowed the country with productive human capital that would have cost the UK £6.8bn in spending on education.
Over the period from 2001 to 2011, European immigrants from the EU-15 countries contributed 64% more in taxes than they received in benefits. Immigrants from the Central and East European ‘accession’ countries (the ‘A10’) contributed 12% more than they received.

Naziaphobe... Why Protect Ideologies from Criticism?
by freemindfade innaziasm is an ideology... islam is an ideology... both encourage dangerous, ugly ideas... .
if i say "screw nazi's" no one is going to call me a racist, a xenophobe, or a naziaphobe.
anyone is capable of snapping, or just being an ahole and committing atrocities, but why does radicalization work so well in islam?

Let me compare two ideas: that islam is like nazism and "semi-racist crackpottery"

Ultimate Axiom: The really strange this is that the UK is already in control of immigration from non-EU countries, and immigration from EU countries is a benefit to the UK when viewed in the big picture...

notsurewheretogo:
There can be "no single market a la carte" for the UK, EU leaders have warned, after meeting in Brussels to discuss the UK vote to leave the bloc.
Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission, said anyone wanting access to the EU's internal market had to adhere to strict criteria "without exception".

I wonder why they are saying these things if they know they will eventually roll back on the statements because the UK has a better negotiation position...
