UK Plans Border Controls For Euro Meltdown - Yahoo! News UK
Not sure what plans they have made or will make and what they can do to be honest. An Eu Passport is pretty much a door opener so what do we do shut the borders? Either way we dont need any more tax dodgers, Westminster is full!

Is Theresa May under too much pressure?

And a slightly more serious answer. The Telegraph is carrying the same story.

Theresa May: we'll stop migrants if euro collapses - Telegraph

Here is the key part:

The introduction of immigration controls within the EU would undermine a key part of the single market. However, it is allowed in “exceptional” circumstances under European law.

If the euro starts to break up - and that's a distinct possibility - the border controls could be brought in under the 'exceptional circumstances' ruling. No job - no entry into the UK.

In addition, if the euro does break up, we are in for a nasty recession. We have a lot of benefit tourists in the UK. I have nothing against hard working Europeans who come to this country - and they can stay with my blessing. But, if we use the 'exceptional circumstances' clause, we should get rid of the work-shy back to their parent countries after a suitable warning period. Get a job within 6 months, or we'll deport you. That would bring UK PLC's welfare budget down by several billion a year as we'll have less claimants.

Fair one, although I always thought anything mentioning Theresa May was a 'free fire zone' anyway

It's carrying the same story because it has been leaked from the same source (someone in Theresa's office). Good God; next thing we'll know is that politicians and newspaper owners / editors / spads are getting far too cosy with each other.

PM to May: "Look it's all going to go tits up and the tabloids are going to make a meal out of 'Bubbles Coming Over Here and Taking Our Jobs'. I want you to read out this statement I've already emailed to all the newspapers saying that we don't want unemployed bubbles over here. It will keep 'em quiet. Sorry Rupert, I was saying that, oh, where's the off switch.....".

May to PM: Roger that. Out.
