Well, it’s a little more complex. The European Single Market allows citizens to move and reside freely. Without a border in Northern Ireland, or a border separating Northern Ireland and the UK, a Romanian or Polish could enter Ireland and easily move unchecked to the UK.
Also problems with goods meeting disparate UK and EU standards. Which standards prevail?
Looks to me like the UK will be outside the EU but having to live with EU rules, unless there is a second referendum in which remainers prevail.
pre-2000, visas to the UK were childishly simple for Romanians or Poles to get. They’d just overstay. The same situation would probably be allowed to exist after Brexit. The UK government are realists — they’ll see the need for labor but want to appease the xenophobic fools.

Of course, you’re right.
Britain is not regaining any sovereignty with Brexit. As Astrid so aptly explained in the other thread, like Trumpism, Brexit is a cult that makes people believe falsehoods and will eventually impoverish them.
So the terrorist who burned the churches is the son of sheriff deputy.
There must something evil with that family and that culture. All of them should be punished.
Law enforcement in southern Louisiana found their suspect close to home: Holden Matthews, the son of a parish sheriff’s deputy.
