Okay, will choose another country to visit next then. One of all the fellow EU countries I can freely visit without any sort of visa. The UK needs the EU and shoot's themselves if you ask me
I had a survey from my local (Tory) MP. On it were "on a scale of zero to ten, how important are these national issues to you?" Alongside obviously important stuff like the NHS, was "Immigration". I rated it Zero.
