I think he is right about immigration into the EU, both legal and illegal. If what is currently happening is your idea of being in control of a situation, then I find the prospect of you being out of control rather tantalising. A bit like when I threw a 7 Kg propane cylinder onto a bonfire just to see what would happen.
Then like him you haven't been keeping up with events, as there are controls over migrants from recently joined nations, and the EU has nothing whatever to do with illegals, and we don't have the means to stop them, do we?
Interesting that you find tossing propane cylinders on bonfires worthy of trial, presumably this morbid curiosity impels you to vote for Brexit?
Relatively speaking tossing the "Bonfire Tossing" differs from the Brexit experience in being rather less dangerous as the cylinder would require prolonged exposure to a very hot bonfire to bring about a BLEVE explosion.
As to being "in control of the situation" it was not my intent to imply that, only that inside the EU we have a voice, and outside we could well end up having to accept the concept of free movement, in order to continue trading with the EU without having any say on the matter.
But I'm sure you will not believe that can happen.
My idea of being out of control? being at the mercy of an unfettered and rabid right wing Tory Government who will put the clock back to the Victorian era,
or indeed of being hammered by a Labour one forced to make damaging decisions to keep the broken economy going because some fool wanted Brexit,
And all because their idea of Democracy is that this country should dictate it's terms over the 27 others in a Democratic Union (while at the same time calling this union undemocratic!)
In other words we will happily remain if you all do as we tell you, or we'll take our ball home and spoil your game...
Forgetting of course that they own the pitch!
