Gove says Brits will be less safe if we have free movement. In fact, we’ll keep European Arrest Warrant and other crime-fighting tools.
Claim: “Britons are less safe” if we have free movement
Michael Gove in the Times
InFact: Quite the opposite. If we stay in the EU, we will keep access to the European Arrest Warrant and other key crime-fighting tools. How will we combat the sort of people-trafficking that led 39 people to die in a refrigerated truck in Purfleet if we can’t use the law enforcement machinery that the EU has painstakingly put together in the last 20 years? Britons will be less safe if Brexit goes ahead.
Hugo you have got this incorrect. We will be as safe out of the EU as we would be in. We can still extradite people and still have people arrested under interpol and numerous international laws. Its not an issue.
