Let’s say Ireland started giving citizenship to other EU citizens who wanted to live and work in the UK, bypassing our immigration controls. Would you be happy?
What costs, jfman? A tariff-free trade deal comes with mutual benefits. The 'costs' you talk about is the extortionate EU membership subscription, which gives us the dubious 'benefit' of the EU legislative system that we don't want.

We can get tariff-free trade deals elsewhere without a membership fee. How is the EU any different?
