Control meaning, <i>inter alia</i>, that decisions about who is allowed to come to live and work in the UK are taken in Westminster and not over-rulable by any other body, such as the ECJ. <br /><br />None of that is in any way incompatible with allowing visa-free travel for temporary visitors like tourists or people attending business meetings.

We declare that we are happy for any good which are in the Republic of Ireland to cross the border into the UK. Abracadabra, no border. <br /><br />Of course the EU might not be so blasé about goods going the other way, and insist that the Republic puts up border checkpoints on their side. But that, really, is a matter for negotiation between the Republic and the EU, and nothing to do with us. <br /><br />(The cynical might suggest that the real objection the Irish have is that a lot of their livestock exports go to the UK thanks to the Common External Tariff, and that once we leave the protectionist Customs Union and said tariff, we will be free to buy yummy, cheap beef from Argentina and the USA rather than their stuff. But that couldn't be it — could it?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
