True but Brexit may lead to more nations leaving the EU and killing the EU altogether. If France leaves, I don't see how all the small nations would like to be ruled almost exclusively by Germany. Border wall would for sure help, right now the issue is Border Control is under staffed (there is already portions of a Border Fence built but not enough). The Tunnels are only a minor issue, and if Border Control is less stressed to control above ground, they will be more focused on underground invasions (which will be a lot slower and much easier to detect).
Don't hold your breath for that. They will not leave the EU, there's no majority for that in France. Same goes for Italy, their constitution even forbids referendums on that. I don't even know why you would want that, this would be bad for the US as well, because their biggest allies would decent into chaos.

And regarding your wall: If people come in as tourists and overstay, your wall won't help. Statistics say this is the major entry point.

as I said this thread will stay open as long as there are things to say about it. I had to do a bit of clean up though.

I won't let anyone dictate how this forum should be governed. This place is for discussion, if we lock discussion threads to prevent discussion what's even the fucking point?

I have already stated my personal opinion. I am profoundly pro-Europe, anti-racism, anti-fascism, I married a woman from a country that is 5000 miles away from my own, so I cannot stand the hatred between people. While I believe my values and opinions are true and righteous, that does NOT mean I should prevent other people from expressing their own point of views (within the boundaries of the law indeed).

Uwabami, you get a one-day suspension for being a complete moron and threatening to "report the site to the authorities". The posts that were deemed offensive have been removed. And to anyone dissatisfied by the fact that we weren't quicker to remove these posts: all mods are volunteers, we don't get paid to do this, so if there is no one around at the time the posts aren't going to remove themselves.

Again please stay civil to each other or we will start to hand out harsher warnings.

I agree and appreciate your decision. I have a question though, why was my post about the region being alright regardless of outcome deemed off-topic and/or offensive? Any ways, again, UK/Britain/England... Hell, Europe has been through much harsher, more volatile, much more dangerous and tougher ordeals than Brexit. They/you are a tough people. All Europeans are. You deserve more credit than what you're allowing yourselves to have. One day, I hope to explore your amazing cultures throughout Europe. French, English, Itailian, German, Dutch... You all have extensive histories that you've grown from! This will just be another period of change. You'll be OK.

well I might have gotten a little carried away with all those posts to delete, anything slightly off topic got caught in the shit storm

edit: hmm and now this very post is off topic. If you have any further question about moderation take it to a PM.

This referendum has sent the country to the shit. BoJo who played a big part in creating the mess now doesn't want to clean it. The UK is going to the dogs.

Well Roy Hodgson has also just resigned... Clearly the Leave voters were right, there's plenty new jobs available....!

Woy had an plan when he exited Europe, shame the Leave campaign didn't.

I gotta say, I was happy for Uk but the lack of confidence from the Brexit camp doesn't seem very inspiring.
Farage is the only one I still like and I especially loved his EU speech where he told everyone to go fuck themselves.

Bullshit. That guy is dead on but I don't like when he said that all the money that goes to EU will still go to EU and the immigration laws won't change for now. It's like wtf? That was your campaign message you liar!

Okay, there's three problems with most politicians.
They lie.
They are inexperienced.
They are out of touch with common man in the street.

Due to discontent from the masses regarding globalism, a new trend of politicians like Farage or Trump have emerged where they are more in touch with the common man on the street than other politicians but they still lie and they are inexperienced.

Farage wants an identity for UK, an independent political system from EU and better trade deals which should benefit the people of UK. This is where he's dead on.
These all sound like good ideals and they are but then the other two traits of politicians kick in.
First is the inexperience. His party is in complete disarray and they don't know what to do now that they won. Half of them have resigned and the can't get their shit together. Not a very good vote of confidence for everyone watching these developments.
Then there are the lies.
U.K. Already sends money to EU. Brexit vote promised that this money would stop going to EU. Now that they won they say that the money would still go to EU. That's one lie. The other is related to immigration. They promised they'd stop immigration but now they're saying that there'll be no changes in immigration.
So politicians are scum but mostly in countries where politics are considered a career and not public service.
