Immigration was a key reason due to seeing the changes in European cities in the last five years. Far right fascist groups are on the rise, whereas in Britain they are declining. Why is that? Why do people travel through safe countries to make a new life in the UK? Why were Europeans arriving in Britain for 24 hours on the 30th of December to claim settlement? Why did we give 96% of applicants settlement status? We had 40k asylum claimants last year. Why didn't they want to stay in France or whichever port they arrived from? Why do they pay thousands to traffickers and forgers to circumnavigate the visa system to get here? Why do we have an agreement with Greece to not send back asylum seekers to them? For a racist xenophobic country, we certainly do far more than most.
It's not all about immigration, but under freedom of movement Europe has (in my opinion) became a fractured project which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of people and made Britain a breeding ground for exploitation by way of prostitution, modern slavery etc etc. Why is it such a bad idea that people that people need to prove they are here for genuine reasons? Why is protecting 16 year old Bulgarian girls from prostitution such a bad idea? Why is preventing a Romanian being exploited for £3 an hour at a car wash such a bad thing?
This "stole my freedom of movement" thing makes me laugh though. Yes, you had freedom of movement. If you fancy going over to work in Spain, what stopped you? Oh, probably because their unemployment rate is treble that of the UK's. Sod all there for the kids neither, hence why they are here "serving our coffee in pret" as one pretentious tart once said on Question Time.
We are not perfect, but to many within Europe and the rest of the world, we are a Utopia, and I would not want to live anywhere else on the planet than Britain, this completely tiny insignificant island(!) that everyone loves, apart from Brits themselves.
If you use a kilo of boilies as a hammer to batter someone who voted leave, then have a word with yourself.

There were restrictions before, but as we were part of the EU the restrictions didn't apply to us bringing bait back from France etc.. They would have applied coming back from a non EU country though.

I think Winkler means that we used to enforce the EU rule ourselves ourselves up until the start of this year.

Any longer? You mean before you couldn't take bait back to the UK? Don't think that's correct at all.

I believe the way it stands is yes, you can bring unused bait back as the UK has no such restrictions in place any longer.

Which bits of the world would you like the UK to embrace that the EU hasn't?
Which EU regulations do you wish to change to move the UK forward?
Genuinely interested as I've never fully understood where Britain is supposed to now turn to in order to prosper and I find the idea of deregulation extremely worrying. Though I no longer live there, I still love my homeland and I see deregulation as an inevitable race to the bottom both environmentally and socially.

Another scenario
Let’s say we can’t take boilies over to France so have to buy them there and if there’s any surplus would British customs allow them to be brought back

Yes, the business I work for is affected in a big way but we expect normality to resume by March. Brexit is for life

Are you aware of the new rules, imposed by the UK, that EU businesses must comply with in order to collect Vat on behalf of the UK government? At s cost of 1000 pounds to the importer.
See you in 5 years!

Pin this post and review in 5 years.
Brexit allows the UK to prosper as the EU slowly dies. It is slow, too protective and bureaucratic with regulations that are far too complex. The UK embraces the rest of the world.
I can live with some importing/ exporting bait.
