It wouldn't be possible without pretty much breaking up the EU.
Everyone crossing intra-European borders would need a visa. It would be a fucking nightmare for everyone except extreme right-wing mentalists who never want to go anywhere.

you don't think the technology exists to create an international database for people convicted in any EU country of a sufficiently serious crime and to make just those people have visas?

Because this is how you increase time spent in airports.

If you take the statistical likelihood of getting butchered by an immigrant with past convictions.
And compare it with the inconvenience of dicking about in an airport. I'm willing to take the risk.

Seriously though, it's a bit reactionary to put all this in place given the frequency of occurrence.
It's a shame for the family and all that; I don't think we need a knee-jerk imposition on our civil liberties to come of it though.

But no one has to show a visa.
'Not having a visa' would get you through a border. You could in theory have a list of criminal passport numbers which you could check, but I think the EU would never allow it. In the Schengen area (most of Europe), you don't even need a passport.

OK, fair enough. It probably wouldn't be possible without US leaving the EU.

This.
The whole 'checking passports' thing probably wouldn't work in a lot of Europe anyway, considering the checks in a lot of places involve flashing a passport to an exasperated officer who is listlessly waving everybody on.

I've just read something that says an average family of four spends £225 a month on food
I think that would last us about 2 weeks at a push

Food budgets are ridiculous.
Almost £500 for a couple with a sprog, although there's nothing that defines how many kids.
Travel allowances are £180 then an additional £10 per person, which is retarded.
Single parents can spend £60 on childrens activities, but a two parent family is restricted to spending £40.
Fucking banks.
