February 26, 20196 yr Author Actually all of those rebuttals are pretty bad, ranging from 'but the Remainers are just as bad' to 'you can't prove that there was overspending even though its existence throws democracy into question' to a statement about generally having to wait for things to change that just seems to ignore the reality of this specific case but this one... IMO those were very reasonable rebuttals for the most part - ISTM that most Remainers now just respond on reflex to even the best anti-EU arguments (and I'm not suggesting mine are that).
February 26, 20196 yr Your attitude is decidedly more worrying. You’re essentially saying ‘F**k the country’ just so you can indulge your low key racism. It's not racist when we live on an island with finite space and already massively stretched NHS, education and housing services and am not specifying any race, colour or nationality in particular should be stopped from coming. Remember I have been married to a non-white for 26 years so can hardly be racist. :rolleyes: Edited February 26, 20196 yr by Common Sense

February 26, 20196 yr Where is she from? The Philippines. She'd already been here working since 1985 though when I met her in 1991.

February 26, 20196 yr Author Austerity has caused all of these issues with the NHS, Education etc. nothing to do with immigration at all :D Also like 80% of the uk is undeveloped so full my arse And we'd like to keep it that way, thanks very much - most people like the idea of green spaces.
February 26, 20196 yr But that doesn't mean the result is overturned, just rejected - it would have to be re-fought on the *same* basis. and need I remind you of the Winchester by-election - originally won by 2 votes, but when a rerun was ordered, the public was so pissed off that they increased that margin to over 21,000! Not that again. The Winchester contest was re-run because of flaws in the conduct of the election, not because the winning side broke the law.

Remember I have been married to a non-white for 26 years so can hardly be racist. :rolleyes: I did say low key racism. I don’t think you believe yourself to be racist but on the other hand your biggest issue is people not born here moving to live here and your so adamant to stop these people different from you tha you want us out of the UK as soon as possible whether or not we have a deal to ensure that the people who already do live here can actually live comfortably.
February 26, 20196 yr And we'd like to keep it that way, thanks very much - most people like the idea of green spaces. I’d happily swap you for a million Syrian refugees

Remember I have been married to a non-white for 26 years so can hardly be racist. :rolleyes: Have a snese of perspective. Lebanon is not that much larger than Cornwall. It is currently home to around two million Syrian refugees. Here, the Daily Mail gets hysterical about the idea of a few thousand refugees in the entire country. What does that say about this country and its people?
February 26, 20196 yr Would it matter? No, obviously. It's just interesting condsidering some of his view points.

We need to stop calling immigration control racism. I dont agree with it but its not a simple blavk or white issue when people i know from the eu who can vote and partner also want to control immigration. You can argue they are misinformed, naive, fearful or any number of issues - and i do say what i think if thats the case - but its a stretch to make assumptions. SOME people no doubt are racist and extreme but not half the voting population.....
February 27, 20196 yr Author Not that again. The Winchester contest was re-run because of flaws in the conduct of the election, not because the winning side broke the law. IMO that wouldn't make a difference - the notion of a unelected court overruling an election result was what rankled people. Also, the only people that give a sh1t that Leave broke the law are, surprise surprise, Remainers. :rolleyes: Edited February 27, 20196 yr by vidcapper

February 27, 20196 yr IMO that wouldn't make a difference - the notion of a unelected court overruling an election result was what rankled people. I look forward to someone like Rosemary West trying the “unelected court” argument.

February 27, 20196 yr Well, mostly :teresa: Anyone who got the Leave result they wanted, isn't going to be that bothered... Presumably you wouldntmind if we got remain foreign money to finance a political movement to make sure all elections nd referendums are swayed againat what you belueve in if weve established that no one gives a shit about law and democracy. We now have the perfect excuse for that to happen.
