Border control and safety is one of the “strongest” arguments of Brexit proponents.

It makes me laugh because it is completely misleading. We are not in the Schengen zone and we are a unique country in the EU who controls its own border now. 

For those who maybe never travelled in Europe, it means that when you are travelling from Poland to Germany and then to France you do not stop and do not need to show any documents. 

But when you return to the UK you have to present your passport. 

This argument regarding border control completely contradicts another popular reference of Brexit proponents – that of non-EU countries Norway and Switzerland that are doing well and should be the example for us. 

Just to remind you that both these countries are members of the Schengen zone and have little voice in EU. But do not panic. 

Why are we, who control our borders and have a voice in the EU, so scared? 
What will change if we leave? Will they check the passports at the UK border twice? Do you see any positive reason to leave. I don’t.
