"Welcome to the Asylum"

Run-up to the 12 December Election: Conservative politicians' talk of ending freedom of movement is insane. Everywhere (except perhaps North Korea) has freedom of movement. Will other countries reciprocate and deny freedom of movement to us Brits? Of course, what politicians are referring to is not tourism. They are referring to work visas. But that is not what they say. Presumably because they want to deceive. It is only EU citizens who don't require visas to work in the UK. Similarly, we don't need them to work in other EU countries. A character in "Alice in Wonderland" says that words mean what he wants them to mean. That way lunacy lies. "Welcome to the Asylum" was published by Centre for Policy Studies back in 2001. Its points are still valid, but it needs updating.
