Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Rita_Poon]

Yes, discussions change direction. It's pretty obvious I was addressing the subject of what should happen to non-national criminals. I haven't suggested deporting UK nationals. Perhaps you should address that question to those who have...

he's ducking it.

 

[Mr. White]

The is the EU in or Out thread. None of this is really relevant.

I fully agree... but it's not me that has taken it off topic.

 

[Alan Whittle]

I don’t see what the problem is now that we control our own borders. Up yours unelected EU bureaucrats, we’re in charge now.

What's your favourite Brexit benefit Mr White?

 

[Prevenger17]

Lol Mr. Whitepower is such a chump

 

[Ming the Merciful]

What do you think of Elon Musk mate?

I think he's a weirdo who has the mentality of a 2yr old.

Sorry to disappoint, you don't get to paint everyone as rabidly right wing because they don't conform to your policies.

 

[Xizor]

It already is.

Oh, okay. I was skim reading but I though the point of contention was that Ming said we should be able to deport non-citizen convicted criminals, and Bruce said we shouldn't, I took that to mean we can't currently.

I'm fortunate to have never had anything to do with the justice system so my legal expertise is not what anyone would call extensive. Or even rudimentary.

Well, for one, significant wage growth for the lowest paid in society over the last few years... Effectively unlimited immigration suppresses wages for entry level jobs. And it creates competition for housing for those who can least afford to compete. Low wages coupled with high housing costs are a bad combination...

EU membership was great for big businesses in the UK.. it suppressed lower-end wages to boost their profits... one of the reasons why they were so in favour of retaining membership...

Unlimited and uncontrolled immigration is also great for scummy landlords... inflated prices when housing supply is limited boosts their profits and influence.

Less competition for entry level jobs means wages should rise. Less competition for housing should mean that prices should fall... Prices haven't really come down too much yet, but they have at least stalled somewhat.

The last few years of international affairs have muddied the waters, though... No sensible, educated and informed Brexit voter thought great change and success would come overnight. It was always going to take a few difficult years. Covid and Ukraine has made things difficult for all European countries.

Show patience... Brexit will come good.

Lol so none then

Also, blue passports.

I've got one. They're awful

Can't use it anyway, on the mere possibility of being a potential serious criminal including violence against women, you're turned away at the border.

 

[Bishop Thumpety-Thump]

Pretty sure he's an expat living in Australia so he probably wants all those damn aborigines off his new found land.

You mean he's an immigrant.

Ironically a lot of immigrants from the UK seem to hold bizzare anti-immigrant views. Very odd.

It’s very common in my experience
