Yes, of course it would, why not? Hardware is cheap these days. For a bigger database, all you need is more storage and more/faster CPUs. No, the scarce resource is those deciding who to put on the list, and handling complaints when people are denied boarding. Better that it be done once, centrally, By a huge team of people? No. It's not some complex searching process, but simply keeping a fairly small list of EU citizens who have UK criminal convictions or have broken UK employment law. You're over-complicating it. The complicated bit is proving they've broken employment law. I thought we were told this is a huge problem with hundreds of thousands of economic migrants from the EU. Most of whom will still be allowed to work in the UK, post-Brexit. Immigration isn't going to come to a grinding halt post-Brexit (unless the economy tanks, and we have less need to recruit people). That's going to lose a lot of votes in UKIP-aligned constituencies. Most of those constituencies have few actual immigrants, just a fear of them. |

And whatever flavour of Brexit we finally end up with in perhaps 5-10 years time, it'll disappoint many Brexiteers and most remainers. But, by then, few will remember or care what was promised in 2016. |

Like we don't remember "peace in our time", "you never had it so good" and "the pound in your pocket is not being devalued"?? -- Roland Perry |
