Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Charlie Sweet]

An interesting opinion but not one shared by over 17.4 million people in UK.

Leave voters come from many backgrounds. I am an employed, non S&N reading Airline Captain.

I will plead guilty to being fat and white but am no supporter of the BNP and have a Malaysian wife and daughter.

How does that fit with your characterisation of all Leave voters?

And can you stop banging on about this 17.4 million people every minute?

Given the average age of a Leave voter a reasonable % have now passed on to their 1950s village green in the sky!

Second, I made it clear that I blame the decision to encourage immigrants rather than the immigrants themselve for most of society's ills.

Just wow. Some self justification for being a racist there.

More fluffy nonsense that didn't really help to answer the hypocrisy issues that bedevil Johnson admirers. Placing faith in a proven liar who was legendarily bad as the Foreign Secretary shows how pathetic we are as a country. More pork pies as well whilst at G7 with his master, the biggest gombeen man of them all, Trump.
Enjoy your sleep and enjoy your flight.

So, you don't like him then!

But judge him by his results rather than his personality. That is the mature thing to do.

I have never met Trump. If I did, I am fairly sure I would not like him. But he is doing a great job for USA - and my retirement savings in the process. The DOW JONES 500 has had a bit of a wobble in the last week or so but overrall has performed superbly since Trump became POTUS. That doesn't just benefit the elite. It filters back into jobs, wages etc and is a good thing - even though I probably wouldn't like him personally.

How about people such as myself who are very pro leave but never had a vote in the first place!

I don't follow this. Are you suggesting that undermining the efforts of your own PM, voting against a deal that takes us out of the EU while maintaining that you want to leave and producing separate articles in your newspaper column for leave and remain are the same as wanting to avoid a 'no deal Brexit'?

Corbyn has been fairly consistent all along he doesn't want a no deal, but he does favour leaving the EU - I'm confused as to why you don't support that position?

Corbyn has been consistent...hahahaha...now he’s calling it a Bankers Brexit...now excuse me if I’ve got this all wrong but I thought that all bankers, being graduates and that were for Remain, or has that all changed.....

 

[RichardP]

Just wow. Some self justification for being a racist there.

Nothing racist about wanting to preserve law and order in our own country.

I think you confuse patriotism with nationalism.

 

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

And why did you just answer no then? Breathtaking arrogance. Just the same as a couple of other Colonel Blimps on here....

He's too tired to answer the tricky ones but is still be awake enough to answer ones that he considers easy.

Literally taking the P as his user name indicates.

 

[Groucho]

Is the correct answer, so what is the correct word......

For your post? Wummery?

Actually, let me take you step by step through where you are wrong.

First, I didn't have a vote. After 15 years as an expat, one is disenfranchised.

Second, I made it clear that I blame the decision to encourage immigrants rather than the immigrants themselve for most of society's ills. Idiots like the Mayor of Londonstan or the nutter who became Mayor of Sheffield don't help. But there is an element of truth in the saying that society gets the government it deserves.

Third, I am not talking just about EU immigrants, but all immigrants.

Fourth. I believe I am grown up. My employer sees fit to allow me to carry $1.5 billion of Public Liability Insurance whenever I sign for an aircraft with around 400 people on board. All sorts of personality and psych tests have to be passed before getting to sit up front of an airliner.

I could write a longer reply but the point is made.

First.
You chose to emigrate, you chose to give up your vote.
Second
You could have stayed, voted for a candidate that holds your views, or even run for office if you feel so strongly about it. But you decided to migrate and dilute someone else's culture
Third
This is a thread about leaving the EU, you've made it clear that you want your country of origin to leave because of the behaviour of immigrants from other member states.
Fourth
Using a term like Londonstan suggests a naively high level of xenophobia that, if your airline knew about, might cause them to reconsider.

And all this from an immigrant who considers himself a patriot, nuts!

In the Sunday Independent, apparently an anonymous senior official close to Prime Minister Leo Varadkar’s deputy Simon Coveney said the attack (the planting of a bomb), had forced Boris Johnson to rethink his strategy towards Ireland and Brexit.

The newspaper cited the official as saying: “The Brits got a bit friendlier to us after the attempt to murder PSNI officers.”

Lovely people......

Blaming it all on immigrants is.

 

[peteblue]

For your post? Wummery?

Just answer the question, what would you call it ?....

 

[RichardP]

Blaming it all on immigrants is.

But I didn't. I blame it on the decision to allow so many in.

Its like mixing soap and water and acting surprised when you get bubbles!

 

[peteblue]

You don't vote for the Health Minister though (or indeed the prime minister!). You vote for your local MP, and those MPs represent their communities in parliament, just as MEPs do in the European Parliament.

But everyone running a department has been voted in by one constituency or another, and you know this doesn’t happen within the EU. The Parliament is a fig leaf with a rubber stamp attached......

Same difference. We do not welcome racists on here. It reflects terribly on the forum, and by extension, the club.
