You do need to confirm, as i wish to know if your scenario question is actually physically possible.
whats the point in answering a question about a scenario that could NEVER occur.

You can't answer the question can you?

Ok, I will help you out one final time. Here is the exam question:

Introducing an immigration tiering system for EU nationals is not in the interests of the UK as a whole. Discuss.

Excellent, persistent and determined work [MENTION=225]Hamilton[/MENTION].

In the same way many believe Gordon Brown's last minute speech saved the union I am starting to think history will show [MENTION=225]Hamilton[/MENTION] as saving the UK from the chaos of BREXIT and from the clutches of the free-market libertarian Boris.

Now that's what a true patriot should do.

Dear mr examiner
we currently are not allowed to introduce a tier based system on EU nationals because we don’t have the control of our borders that would allow us to do this.

Can you clarify or ask a better question,did you mean it wouldn’t be in the best interest of the UK to expand its existing tier system across the board post brexit when we would have control of our borders again.

Just asking the questions sir. Just asking the questions.

Assume that you are allowed to introduce such a system. What are the advantages to the UK, economic or otherwise, of extending an immigration tiering system to EU nationals?

We used to work 8 hours a day in this country with good working conditions, there was enough money at the end of the week to get on with on your life. Now we have people from other countries working 12 hours a day for the same money, and brits are called lazy. I'm sick of it.

British people have been run down by the cost of living. Eastern Europeans for example get a fresh start, work their arses off for 10 years, send the money back home, claim benefits on top and buy a nice house back home, they are set up for life. That is the biggest difference.

Brits are becoming disadvantaged from the start, why the hell would anyone want to support Remain. The same banks who ruined this country, are the same banks people are listening too and telling us all to Remain.

I see what you're saying but the world has changed and we have to change with it. We have to be specialised, competitive and productive.. Nostalgia won't bring it back, you have to face down the challenge not run from it.

is this assumption pre brexit when its impossible to implement due to the fact we don’t control our borders or post brexit when we do control them again.

I have been led to believe that economic situations will be very different pre and post and need to factor that in.

Make all the assumptions you need. Just give us all some form of answer.

At what point out of this list of member states is the UK likely to be in a less economically advantageous position at any time in the future, and please offer a reason why those countries might suddenly find some economical parity with the UK, France, Germany ??

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK.

I'll have a go but the question isn't clear. Are you denying that the number of jobs and rates of pay in the UK relative to many other EU countries is relevant to the fact that people want to come here to work and do you think that situation will last forever? And what exactly do you mean by economic parity?

Then why reply to my post by asking me why I need to lie about the numbers in the first place?

God, really? Spot the difference between these two sentences:

Then why the need to lie about the numbers in the first place?

Then why the need for you to lie about the numbers in the first place?

You're the one that jumped in to the conversation. As you had, I thought you might have something to say on the point I was making. Instead you went off on your own tangent.

is the pre brexit assumption actually possible in real life?

I won't ask the question again as you are wasting my time.

All I will say for now is that with your lack of answers you have proven to be an effective campaigner for the Remain argument.
