Current Affairs EU In or Out

[arminisgod]

and so with that in mind, when any negotiations with the EU are going to be pushing open immigration with the government negotiating from a position of weakness, is leaving the EU going to change this hugely?

why is it a position of weakness?

IMAGINE the social media posts had remain won though. Leavers would be much much worse than what it is right now.

Oh yeah, terrorists and immigrant queues AOTS. Bellends on both sides. Please remember I loathe pretty much everyone.

why is it a position of weakness?

Probably because we HAVE to make deals with them, and they don't.
It's obviously mutually beneficial for both, but MORE beneficial for us.
It becomes hard for the UK or what will be left of the UK to make individual trade agreements with individual countries in the EU.
In addition, why would the EU give positive terms to a country that's left, it would basically be encouraging other countries to leave too and go at it alone.

That is correct

18-25 year olds largely voted remain

All the old racists from backward towns like Burnley voted out

The problem for the remain camp was that only about half the 18-25 year olds bothered to vote.

We either accept the will of the people or we scrap democracy.

So much cry arsing going on

We aren't all welcome though, are we. We'd need to possess a sufficient level of skill within a particular industry that is in need of professionals from abroad in order to even stand a chance of getting a long term visa.

BINGO!!!! That's exactly the way the UK should be.

Ultimately, what's is the problem? Lack of jobs. Why? Because they aren't being created, not because a net migration of about 1m EU migrants are taking them.

What is it escapes you?

Jobs ARE being created - zero-hours contracts, and low-paid, part-time jobs. The jobs that are being eagerly snapped up by the EU immigrants.

The same immigrants that happily do these jobs because they HAVE to. The jobs with little protection, the jobs they expect the brit to tug their forelock & thank their masters for ffs.

Meanwhile the UK citizen is derided as 'lazy, workshy and feckless' if they want full time work but can't get it because they're being taken by some romanian or czech or what-have-ya that already has low paid, less secure work.

UK nationals have to jump through friggin' hoops before they can claim what they've paid into, and are forced to work for their dole stacking shelves at poundland....Did the EU migrants work for their dole in their own countries?

No.

I'm not saying it was one way traffic mate.
Only that fear and misinformation has resulted in a suboptimal result,many people haven't voted because of the facts and made an informed decision

But only the people who voted out though?

 

[Caolam]

The bit I can't get my head around is that when we negotiate with the EU, 27 countries some of which are quite small, we can't seem to get a good deal out of them but somehow we are going to muscle advantageous trade deals with the world's great powers.

You're all welcome here in sunny Australia.

No thanks. Suffer enough UKIP types here. Hopefully they will join you.

A generation of self importants where other opinions are shouted down and completely ignored. This is the biggest problem facing the western world not leaving the eu.

To those who ask why people like me do not vote. This is why.

That can't be true, it's only their future that counts, surely they made the effort.
