Thinking on, the idea of becoming an EU citizen at first port of entry then just coming here as an EU citizen?

Actually, I reckon that's a good point although I do think residency visas rather than citizenship are what tend to be offered. I have a friend, a doctor colleague, who holidays in Switzerland with his family as his work visa (he is Iraqi) precludes travel into other EU countries. Granted, he isn't a refugee by status although as a Christian he was persecuted in many ways under Saddam.

But like Reginald D Hunter, Clive James, Boris Johnson, Nick Cave and anybody resident in The UK who was born elsewhere, he is I suppose an economic migrant. One of my fellow Muskets has a "green card" right of residency in The USA. If he ever took it up, he too would be an economic migrant.

I come from a village near Barnsley but live in London due to my job. I am an economic migrant for that matter.

It's about time dangerous rhetoric was put in its place, people traffickers taken off the streets and rues, politicians looked at the issues not the grandstanding and the media stick to checking out cellulite on celebrities.
