Current Affairs EU In or Out

It may but it didn't say it. The pro remain mps also told us there would be a snap emergency budget with tax rises... no implying, actually told us.

That didn't happen either

No tax rises yet.

I voted for brexit due to immigration like most people.

Well, that’s going well for you anyway.

And let's get it actually correct... the bus slogan didn't actually say 350m would go to the NHS did it?

Not having a go, honest question.

In your opinion (or maybe you have the facts and stats to back that opinion up), what part of our previous immigration policy has changed/will change enough to make the UK economy better?

The fact it implied rather than give an outright legal promise is irrelevant in the minds of those it sought to influence. It remains one of the greatest lies ever told!

It's not just about the economy. I do not think mass uncontrolled immigration, which in turn has kept wages low has in anyway benefitted where I live.

Why how's it negatively impacted me??

A lot of brexit folk always play down the significance of the bus. A work mate of mine voted to leave off the back of it. It’s not impossible to think that enough people were the same which tipped the vote. Duplicitous arseholes

Where have the mass uncontrolled immigrants come from, where you live?

Poland, Romania and Lithuania

 

[spectateur]

Poland, Romania and Lithuania

But surely the majority of non indigenous people in your area originate from Pakistan and India.

 

[roydo]

Poland, Romania and Lithuania

So happy they have gone and your wages have gone up?

 

[arminisgod]

Pakistan mainly. No indians around here.
Cant do anything about that issue, that was done in the 50s and 60s.

They haven't gone. I'm not sure where this idea has come from that since brexit all the Eastern European people have decided to leave has come from.

Some have left, haven't returned after the summer hols. When asked all have said "we can now earn more in europe".

Great, this endless supply of cheap foreign labour didn't do anyone any favours

How are house prices looking where you live? Have they risen over the last 10-20 years or so.

Doubtful. Think in Nelson they have gone down actually
