London mayor reacts to French threats over 'Brexit': 'Donnez-moi un break'
2016-03-04
[LATIMES] The migrant crisis became a critical bargaining chip in the debate over Britannia’s future membership of the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
on Thursday, with La Belle France warning that a "Brexit" could bring immigration chaos to its neighbor’s shores.

French President Francois Hollande
...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist...
stated bluntly that there would be serious "consequences" for Britannia if the public votes in favor of leaving the 28-member bloc in a June referendum.

Earlier in the day, French economy minister Emmanuel Macron went even further by saying a vote to leave the EU could mean La Belle France no longer allows British border police to operate in the port city of Calais.

His comments stoked fears that this could potentially pave the way for thousands of migrants colonists to arrive unimpeded on British shores.

"The day this relationship unravels, migrants colonists will no longer be in Calais," Macron was quoted saying in the Financial Times newspaper.

Downing Street officials said they had no prior knowledge of Macron’s speech, but the statement fell on deaf ears to "exit" campaigners and the words "stitch up" and "scaremongering" were quickly banded around.

CHUNNEL CLOSED, EUROPE CUT OFF

#2  Collapse the chunnel at the same time just to be sure.

Perhaps Merkel will take the problem a bit more seriously if she realizes the EU is going to fall apart because of her policies.

#1  A "Brexit" would cancel the EU treaty that forces Great Britain to obey edicts from Brussels that set up this stupid situation in the first place. British law, and British immigration rules, would then apply on the British side of the Chunnel: Everyone walking into Britain would have to show papers, put into a camp if they don't have any, and then put on a boat back to Syria.
