What would we do differently there or are we going to require additional checks/visas on people coming from Europe? If so then that could hurt tourism and we would get the same treatment on the way to Europe which would be a massive pain.
Is there even any evidence that EU citizens are the problem with the border controls?

No one said they couldn't cope now but with what is being said they would be checked at both sides of the Channel because of our agreement with the French.

Ever thought about a job with Amway? Although look out for time wasters (people you couldn't convince) or any other ponzie scheme.

Oh dear typical of someone who can't answer a point. I am, and always have been a 'Leftie' as you so delicately put it. Not everyone has nuclear weapons and as far as I'm aware only 2 countries in the EU have them, the UK and France.
According to a new report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), nine nations — the United States, Russia, United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea — possess approximately 16,300 nuclear weapons. in total.

If you are going to make statements like this please check facts first.
Secondly, there is a common myth among Inners that being in the EU has kept peace for 60 years. The truth is that nuclear weapons, love them or hate them, have kept the peace. I'm not a fan of nuclear weapons myself.
