But more immigration from other countries when the UK leaves to fill all of the jobs that EU citizens were doing. So probably no fall in immigration at all. Tell me, out of interest, what is your issue with immigrants? Why do you take such issue with people who are different to you? If they are working and paying their taxes why should you care? I don't understand.

Good point, experience definately comes into play.

This is risk you run with national finals in general I think. The songs appear online and fans get excited about one song in particular that sounds great in studio form but falls flat on the night. Then another less amazing song is performed better and because most people are only seeing them for the first time they just go with the best perfomance which is totally understandable. In hindsight if the acts had more time to prepare and rehearse then who knows..maybe Legends would have gone through, but again this is another issue with the current format. The stronger songs(usually faster/dance songs) which require a more complicated stage routine look messy because the artist hasn't had time to nail the performance down properly. Why not just pick 1 great song internally e.g. Legends, have 3 months to iron out all the creases and 200% ready in May? I know some people don't like Internal selections but national finals sure as hell aren't helping the UK at the moment.

THIS

You know I haven't actually had a problem with any of the acts we've sent since we introduced You Decide. All of them did great in their final performances. Joe & Jake did the best they could with a lacklustre song, Lucie gave one of the best performances of the night and SuRie considering what happened did amazingly to get through that. The problem is the songs that the BBC are handing them. They are aiming for songs that they think will 'do well' as opposed to songs that will win and that is a recipe for the bottom 5.

Do you honestly think that 17.4 million people voted leave, expecting that we would leave with no deal and that they knew what no deal would entail? Get real and stop living in fantasy land.

I don't recall there being an option on that ballot paper that said "Leave the EU, Customs Union and the Single Market with no deal in place"

I've always got the impression that her own personal views on the EU aren't that strong either way and that she's basically looking for a way out of this now, deal or not. As I stated earlier I don't like her and it's her own doing, but im sure the last 2 years have been hell for her and I think she's just looking for a way to bugger off out of this. Every interview or apperance she does she looks like she's about to spontaenously combust from the pressure of this.

Errr...for initiating Article 50 without a plan, for wasting negotiating time with a total unnessecary GE, for ignoring 16 million people in addition to everybody else who didn't vote, for putting the interests of her own party before 65 million people(including remainers and leavers). I'd say that's a good starting point. I'm not a Corbyn fan either before you say anything else.

God I hate her so much.

Oh from a travelling/holiday perspective not THAT much will change. For those of us that want the opportunity to live and contribute to another country however....

Count me in as someone else that would love to work in Europe, having studied and worked abroad extensively and see the diversity I can assure you that there are MANY places just as nice if not substantially nicer, cleaner, more efficiently run than the UK. However thanks to people like Crazy Chris me and others may never get that chance, and we are NEVER going to forgive them for that. You know, I really do feel sorry for Brexiteers who voted to leave because of immigration. Having spoken to a lot of them in my area( note: a lot, not all) they genuinely think that leaving the EU is going to solve a lot of the UK's problems. They lack so much awareness and education on how things actually work, and are going to be in for a huge shock when a.nothing changes and b.they are maybe even worse off.

little boots is hardly old :rolleyes: 29, same age as Loreen according to Wikipedia
