re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU

It's odd how every morning I wake to hear yet another fear story from HMG via the BBC. This time the headline is a year long recession which will ensue if we dare to leave.

As regards Turkey, visa less travel into the EU will by defininition make things easier for Turks to come to the EU. These will include those seeking to work (illegally) or whatever for whom there'll be one less very sizeable hurdle to jump. Thanks to Schengen, once these people are inside the EU, what means is there to find and remove them or stop them eventually winding up here in the backs of lorries claiming asylum pretending to be Afghans, persecuted Kurds, or whatever? The official right to live, work or whatever isn't the only issue at stake here and I'd have thought the last thing Europe needs is another wave of uncontrolled migration. That, however, is just common sense and as we know the EU has never got around to a directive on that...
