Brexit

Cop out...yes, sure.

We may be witnessing the death throes of the Left, here and there - hope springs eternal, but then so does Socialism/Collectivism/Globalism.

Good early morning my friend, what gets you up so early?? Did you shit the bed

I just think seeing that election in the UK shows that socialism is not there cup of tea. And if you throw in Antisemitism you really get blown out of the water.....

The Labour Party has got to look and reflect what gave them dominance all the years, and really you can have some far out policies, but you do have to throw in a few for moderate ones as well. I really do think that this will mirror the 2020 election in the US as well. If they get some nutbag Democratic nominee.

I agree with you buddy , But heck what do i know......

[Something Else]

What is the UK going to lose if they leave?? Going back and forth, they still will deal with the EU, but just have borders and control who comes into there Country??

We already have borders and control on who comes into our country, because we used our veto and opted out of the Schengen area. You CANNOT get into the UK without a passport, even from continental Europe.

It's a complete myth we don't have border controls, hence the reason people have to resort to trying to sneak in via lorries and dinghies.

The trouble is, people cannot seem to distinguish in their minds between illegal immigrants and the legal immigration that is required to plug skills shortages, e.g. doctors, nurses, fruit pickers, etc. (Yes, it seems UK-born people are incapable of picking fruit, hence why millions of apples have rotted away on trees this year, because of a shortage of EU migrant workers!)

I think it's a language thing. Incomers to this country are always referred to as "migrants", however isn't it strange how people from this country who go and retire in Spain for example are referred to as "ex-pats"...

This whole "uncontrolled immigration" trope is a complete lie. The strain on public services is not caused by immigration, it's caused by the aging native population not dying off.

The "Boomers" clinging on to life after they've ruined the world for the rest of us... nice one. *slow hand-clap*

But people are so thick they believe anything the right-wing press spoon-feeds them.

Barbs summed it up quite perfectly. From a Londoner's point of view.

I had an idea. London stay in the EU and the rest of England leave. Ewe nose it makes scents.

Also, most of the Americans posting in the thread seem to be vastly misinformed.

You can't enter or exit the country legally without a valid passport and in some cases a visa. Fact.

Don't forget the Canadians. Or at least one in particular.

Feel free to un-misinform us, please - and be comprehensive, anent "vastly".

Never thought to comment on that.

So what?

How many Canadians are we afflicted with?

I am blissfully ignorant.

If the World ends, the best thing you can hope for at that point is being the last one to know.

You know there is a difference of ignorance to not being interested. You can always say that even being a minority, your importance doesn't always reflect the majority of the population or the complete demographics of a country....

As your negative morbid assumption comment, saying you are ignorant, you will never know either way buddy......

Comments like that JK24 not only shows who they voted for, it also shows the ignorance of really not knowing how the majority or the rest of there own country feels

It is like telling someone something 100 times and it is going to change to there way, like i have said myself, i have traveled across the US and been to other countries, but in all my life on this planet i have never traveled across my own country Canada, so saying i really know how they feel would just be a lie. Again the only way to tell how anyone feels is when you see how they vote, and really look at the map of your country, and look at the colors and how people really migrate to areas, then you have to look how close the race was in that state, that tells a lot....
