This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.

“They’re taking our jobs” was always a lie. Alabama proved it.

Alabama tried a “tough” immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldn’t last a day.

They’re not taking your jobs; they’re doing the jobs you won’t do.

Since Brexit, the EU has brought forward 28 new, revised or upgraded pieces of environmental legislation that the UK has not adopted, and the UK has actively chosen to regress by changing four different pieces of legislation including on protected habitats, pesticides and fisheries.

The UK is falling behind the EU in terms of protecting rare creatures such as red squirrels, cleaning up the air and water, removing dangerous chemicals from products, and making consumer products more recyclable and energy efficient.

"#EU citizens waiting for the Home Office to decide their pre-Brexit residency status should not be removed from the #UK if they make a short return visit abroad for business, leisure or family matters, the statutory body for EU citizens’ rights has said."

It's crazy to read things like this. It's scandalous that people could not leave the UK because they risked not being able to return because the administration had not yet decided whether they can have resident status or not.

Yes it's quite funny to read that Mr Holden is complaining :" We’re once again a rule taker, not a rule maker, and we have nothing to show for it."
Of course UK is a rule taker. Since brexit.
