I can give as good as I get.

As the saying goes, 'My attitude is determined by your behaviour'

If someone bites, I bite back but I much prefer a polite intelligent discussion. Unfortunately, there are a few (Remainers) on this thread that delight in trying to stimulate argument rather than debate. Now that I have them sorted and got them on ignore it is a lot easier to have a sensible discussion with everyone else.
You can't answer simple questions...
 
You could not be more wrong.

I have friends and family back in UK, still have a UK passport and reserve the right to come back to UK whenever I may wish to. I therefore have a great, vested interest in UK.

One interesting point that was made to me recently was that my opinion on UK may actually be more accurate in certain areas than the people who live there permanently as they tend not to notice the perpetual but gradual decline the EU is forcing on UK, whereas I come back once a year or so and see the changes more starkly.

So, I have a great interest in our leaving EU and will be extremely happy when we finally extract ourselves from this pernicious organisation and are making our own way in the world.

So, in summary, you are exactly wrong!
Thank you. Then I'm prepared to give you the benefit of doubt and listen to your position and respond as I see fit.

Debate is healthy and welcome, trolling is not.
 
I like the quote from the US Congressman (can't remember the name) who basically said that if we can spend $billions on sending young men and women to war we should be able to spend similar amounts on looking after them when they come home.

The other quote I like comes from a rather strange source - specifically, Only Fools and Horses sit com.

Grandad, sat in the bomb shelter that Del boy had built on the roof of their condo was talking about soldiers returning from the war,

'When we came back they promised us homes fit for heroes. What we got was heroes fit for homes!'

Never forgotten that.

People should teach their children charity at home, and fair to suggest when these children grow up and become decisions makers then things might indeed improve for everyone.

People should teach their children not be short sighted and recognise the positive effect immigration has on a country.

I'd also suggest that it might be useful to explain that if 'charity begins at home' it most certainly doesn't end there.

Charity begins at home is modern rework of the much older proverb, charity begins with children in the home, to teach them virtues of charitable behaviour. it was a reminder to RichardP, of our little discussion earlier on it.

Indeed I do have some sympathy's with Freedom of Movement being misused, and it has there is nothing that will change me from that position, also Governments failing to adequately support communities with infrastructure , however, i would always want a significant increases in refugees seeking a safe life here in the UK...

We are trying to do that with our daughter. It is a little early yet as she is only 3 years old but we adopted her and plan on involving her in voluntary work at an orphanage near where we will be spending our retirement so that she can both help and understand that not everyone gets the same start in life but all should be treated with the same courtesy and respect.
 
Yes but it's come at great cost to time and expenses and we haven't even left yet. It's like saying 'I've cut my own foot off but it's ok as I bought some gauze and painkillers to prepare for it'

I'd also point out that much of what we are being asked to prepare for is completely unknown or 'being sorted by the government' but at each meeting I attend, someone brings up a fairly fundamental thing that should have been accounted for already but hasn't.

It was just the same for Y2K. Of course it comes at a cost and there are lots of unknowns and many unknown unknowns, but that’s what managers get paid for......

Hmmm. Have you ever urinated in your mother in law’s drink?
