No it ' s not discrimination . That is just the convoluted brexiteer false logic to make the EU unfair . Is it discrimination against Pakistanis the fact that Scottish people are allowed to move freely between England and Scotland , but not Pakistani citizens ? No , it isn ' t . There is a single market which has been agreed between both countries for mutual benefit both contribute to the whole . It isn ' t discriminatory to have an immigration policy with countries outside a single market for goods and skills , like the uk , or EU . Your fake narrative is insinuation that it ' s the EU that is discriminating but the UK can offer whatever terms or freedom of movement the government likes , to any country . It ' s a stupid thing to say , twisting bizarre logic to try as hard as possible to make freedom of movement something unfair is just more of the same brexiteer garbage , sorry .
