You still don't get it? What prevents these people coming as tourists and simply just overstay? Nothing! You are hoping for a scenario which isn't realistic and cannot succeed.

I do. What Brexit will do is only make-belief. The NHS isn't gonna sack the Polish doctor and replace him/her with an English janitor. Don't you realise that the EU immigrants are boosting your economy in paying taxes and boosting services? They give you much more than they take, and I would be happy to take them here, as the Finnish lorry driver isn't gonna be a doctor anyway. The world doesn't work in the way that there are an X amount of jobs, and if the foreigners are being kicked out, all Britons will fulfill those positions. What if the English daycare nanny gets sacked because all the Polish children left the country and there's not enough English children around? Or what about your corner store which caters mostly for immigrants? You have to understand this.

People can swim across the channel with or without Brexit and if you're giving them welfare checks it's not the EU's fault, but your government's.

I guess that your government will be so over encumbered with requests that this or that foreign professional has to stay here and companies will fight for their Polish, French, Portuguese, Swedish etc workers, because otherwise it will hurt business.

You clearly don't understand the very principles at the heart of the EU if you don't understand the right to free movement of persons.

Ok, so explain to me why you think it's bad that the UK gets foreign professionals to work and pay taxes? While saying that Romanian and Bulgarian criminals cannot get in? Compare it to the global drug trade. Does everybody say "I'm smuggling drugs, let me in"? No. They just find ways, regardless of the laws, which all say that smuggling drugs is illegal!

You realise that even if you leave the EU, to be a part of the European community you have to abide with most of the EU's rules. You simply will become Norway, abiding to EU rules without having a say in anything?

Good Luck with swimming across the busiest and most dangerous shipping channel in the world, and btw we have a Navy, Coastguard and Border Force, and new rules mean they would not be able to work, claim benefit or live here legally. Employers all ready face massive fans for employing illegal workers/

People with recognised qualifications that are in demand will still be able to live and work here.

Again nobody is saying that those with in demand skills and qualifications will be denied access. They were allowed to live here before we joined the EU and will be allowed to travel here afterwards. The samne is true of most other conntries such as Australia which has a points based system.

It also should be noted that organisations such as CANZUK are promoting free trade and the possibility oif free movement between Anglosphere countries in respect of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.

We are leaving the EU, however there is no seperate so called European Community, the European Economic Community was what the EU used to be called, and EU Law will only apply to goods and services exported in to the EU as part of equivalency, just as it applies to every other country on earth that trades with the EU such as the US, beyond that we will not be goverened by any EU court. It has been agreed that we will accept EU rulings and the ECJ until 2021, when the UK Supreme Court and other institutions will take over the ECJ functions.

The UK may also join other trading organisation such as the Trans-Pacific trade deal after Brexit, and rules relating to such organisations would apply in relation to trade, and with more trade being encouraged outide of Europe, the EU would no longer be as significant to the UK.
