Current Affairs EU In or Out

[GlosBlue]

did you know?

Everton were actually set to sign Yarmalenko last year until the EU stepped in and vetoed the move citing it would give them an unfair advantage in the league.

they have stepped in a couple times before as well to similar effect for playmakers .

So THAT'S why Fernandes went to Valencia!

Most of our immigrants are from Poland and Ireland. The Poles have been here in significant numbers since WWII and the Irish long before that. Had we been capable of dealing with our homegrown dangerous bums, imported ones wouldn't pose a problem.

So mass immigration is a positive for the UK? At a rate of 300,000 per year coming into the country

Bordering on racist views there lad.

The country was built on immigrants mate. And the actual rise in population through immigrants per year is less than 1%

oldest trick in the book - use a measure that looks negligible when justifying an increase in something.

300,000 a year - sounds awful!
1% increase - just one percent? But 1% is really small!

Hi, how many people are leaving the country per year? Also, please provide evidence that 300,000 people are coming here 'at tax payers expense'. i.e how many of your 300,000 people are coming here to claim welfare.

Thanks.

Open borders and trade deals with eu bring in far far more than what that 300,000 will cost the country. To try and paint them all as criminals and undesirables is out of order aswell

Should never have had a referendum in the first place, this vote has caused a lot of bad blood between the population, and whether the result is in, or out,that bad blood isn't going to go away anytime soon.

My gut instinct is (and has been all along) to vote out.

I don't like the way that Remain have used 'fear' throughout their campaign to target the undecided, while I also don't like a lot of the things that 'leave' have as policies - e.g. blowing immigration up as a larger issue than it actually is, though of course it is a factor.

However, this IS NOT a vote on the politicians involved or their policies. It is a simple IN or OUT.

Think the below post is a very sensible one...

The EU has riddled our country with dangerous bums at the tax payers expense FACT!!!

That is silly mate. Lets just hope they don't send back the ones we have sent to Amsterdam and Spain.

Only UKIP do that. Sane people don't, and see through all that.

Fact remains, we don't have a social service infrastructure that is capable of sustaining a 1%+ net migration.

I wouldn't worry about that mate - it was already there. I too think the decision shouldn't have come to this, but it is down to a lack of action from Cameron and his lackeys - who constantly break their promises (as most MPs do, mind) on the EU.

Personally, I'm voting out, but I think we'll stay in. However, I think the general consensus has shown that a lot of people (not just 'thickos' either) are extremely disgruntled by the EU at the moment, and that is showing no signs of getting any better.

Hipsters, students, the mega-rich and quite a few people in my age group are trying to paint everyone who is 'out' with the same 'racist' brush. It's tiresome.
