So many butthurt and in-denial Remainers and EU-supporters, makes me smile :^)

I can only hope that parties like Sverigedemokraterna, Perussuomalaiset, PVV and AfD become more popular and usher in an era of emboldened Euroscepticism.

Remember, Remainers, if Democracy doesn't go your way, you can just call everyone who disagrees with you racist, stupid, just going to die soon, or any other form of baseless attack! Democracy and free speech are only good when they help your agenda, right? If it's democracy you don't like, you can just call it 'populism'!
I still haven't seen anyone be called racist yet, aside from that one guy

That's just one example, but I'm referring to the Remain campaign in it's entirety, which (in my view) was in part based upon attacking Leave supporters as being 'racist' for wanting the UK to have more control over its own immigration laws etc.

I gotcha, but don't incite a squabble where there isn't one

i am not sure of true facts and figures, only personal experiences when i have been to poorer parts of london. if you have not been yourself, i don't recommend going!
I second this.


Also, the notion that "most immigrants to the UK come from the Common Wealth" may well be true, but I will say that I've never had a harder time going through customs than when I went to the UK. I was grilled with dozens of questions; the customs officials were convinced that I couldn't have been going there on holiday, and that I had to be there to steal jobs.

i friendily disagree - but what do you think are great about the poorer areas of london?

I wouldn't say one specific thing is great or worth specifically visting (afterall most tourist stuff is in central london).

I was speaking more generally against, the whole "it's gotten bad and some areas are entirely unrecognizable and foreign", so great was a poor choice of words on my part.


Just as someone who lives here, rather than just visiting, I don't agree with the sentiment that it's awful with whole areas being unrecognizable and foreign and unwelcoming to the "native" population.

All the leftys are saying over 50% of the voters are racists on the radio, online and tv so they really are butthurt. Lily Allen is a cunt.

I'm still smiling. Has anyone heard the laughing police man song?

Italy, France and the Dutch will leave the EU next.

No chance. When the Ununited Kingdom falls flat on it's face, and it will, there'll be no way any other country would dare think of leaving. This is actually going to end up giving the EU even more power and a mandate to do whatever it likes; which is, ironically, what all the leave voters were scared of happening if we stayed.

Citing a tabloid. Classy. Those "Eurosceptics" are proven racists (especially LePen and Wilders) who have all babbled about superior races at some point. But then, that's your style, right? Some of your posts in this thread have already been deleted for racism.

The UK will tear apart once Scotland and Northern Ireland leave and the UK will have enormous economic problems. When you realize this, you'll probably deny having voted Leave.

But do continue your circle-jerk with the Australian dude who doesn't even see the irony in the fact that he was harrassed by UK customs but still supports harsher immigration laws (which the UK can't impose while staying in the market).

Yes and why do you think they're all calling for referendums right now? It's because they know that this is their last hope of ever getting one. It's a desperate attempt to say "look Britain's leaving the EU, so can we" before the UK folds in on itself.

If they genuinely thought that leaving the EU will lead to Britain prospering they'd be waiting until that happens to make the call. "Look how well the UK has done - we can do that too". But that will never happen.

Quoting a Nation wide known Paper is alot more credible then the shit you are spouting.

why not 'if they genuinely thought it would lead to prospering, they wouldn't wait'
i don't really get what you mean by that. if they genuinely thought it (= if they believe it), why wait?

Haha, you believe that then, OK. At least it shows why you voted Leave, you let Tabloids do the "thinking" for you. Great. At least the UK will demonstrate to all "Eurosceptics" how leaving the EU will turn out for them. Farrage went back on his NHS promise just hours after the referendum, but that doesn't matter anyways, since the numbers he's been passing around don't add up.

Scotland and N Ireland wont be let back into the EU, they have nothing to offer or have anything for the leeches. I bet germany will still sell their VW cars to the UK as we are the only ones who buy them. still laughing.
