If it cant do that, then take it the land away and use the said land more intelligently for the common good.
* Brexit will mean you come here to work on a Visa. No designated job/company sponsorship = no working Visa. Just like the two non EU countries I recently worked in-this system generally worked well because the host nation applied the rules fully. We all know the present set up here in the UK right now and what that has meant- I could now see through recent experience and observation that many non essential EU people are already leaving UK even pre Brexit. It could be we will see a fall in working youthful population - heaven knows demand for housing of the types being speculated for Northolt may even fall.
Not wanting to get into a Brexit argument but destiny is in our own horny hands....
All good stuff, and just to enhance your point and without getting into (another) brexit spat, i believe this government, as well as the 27 others, has, since 2010, had the right to deport EU citizens after 90 days, if they are not employed, have not secured a place in higher education, or haven't got the means to support themselves. That legislation came in when one Hon T May was home secretary and not one person has been removed from the UK using it. (Other countries have and continue to enforce it.) So when we talk about uncontrolled immigration, we should also be careful as to who we are implying has failed to control it.
