Appreciate it's your opinion but don't agree with it. -

What has status quo got to do with immigration? Granted that the status quo in brussel or taking ownership of their country was the catalyst for change and voting no not immigration. -

Hiw did you know they were islamics? Did you interrogate them or was it written on their foreheads? For all you know they could have been second or third generations of indians that are as much british as the white brits.... Whilst i am not denying what you are telling me but could be a scenario in any country in this day and age including canada. What has this got to do with colonization? -

So you agree that it is on both sides of the camp that's a good start.... However, it is one thing to call someone racist abd it is another to lie and misrepresent a fact to win a campaign....nigel farage from ukip has explicitly stated in his campaign that refugees are at the doorstep of UK. That is a blatant lie and distortion of facts....Now if you don't know that the truth is distorted you will believe whatever is spoonfed to you. -

Again....This shouldn't be the precursor for leaving the EU. Tighter regulations yes but not the precursor. -

London is the hub of financial world. Not even Frankfurt nor Paris comes anywhere close. It attracts forieign investers. The fact that it is tolerant of foreigners keeps it unique and a role model for other capital cities. You won't find that dynamic in any other european city. And what do you mean EU is losing its numerous cultures and who are exactly these foreigners you keep referring to?? With all respect but you are giving me alot of of idioms like neoliberalism, colonilisation, globalisation etc, etc with little substance of what this has to do with UK exiting EU!! -

That's what makes London unique because of its diverse culture and attraction for foreign investment... The question still stands...what has this got to do with european union? -

Immigration is a key one only as a scare tactics. It paid off in the campaign. Reality is it doesn't have much to do with EU -

Sure, other European countries in the far right camps may follow Brexit by example. Nexit, Swexit and god knows what else... The whole premise to base it on immigration is completely false and doesn't add up -

So far, the value of the currency has devalued to worse than 'Black Wednesday'. The worst drop in the currency for 31 years. The governor of bank of England proposed £250bn to salvage the economy since the announcement. Many brits are already shell shocked and delusioned by the propaganda that has been fed by both camps. The reality is as said before a service based economy like UK is heavily reliant on EU will struggle in the next few years. This coupled with unemployment, job insecurity in many multi national corporates will be the starting point for a 'technical' recession. Only time will tell... -

If you don''t have the capacity to be civil in a discussion I can take the same course but I understand tbe mods here may not like it. So I let you off. Besides I refuse to stoop to your level.... On i migration let me remind you that it was you who suggested that the immigrants work like a dog for a few pennies not me! Let's get the records straight! it is a known fact the poles and many immigrants in UK deliver many handicraft work at a much lower salary and above miminum wage. It is a known fact that many nurses working in NHS hospitals in UK are of foreign origin typically indians, philipinos who are prepared to put lng hours and save lives! Because many brits won't put up with the long and demanding working hours many of these nurses have to put up with. That is what keeps their economy thriving and MP's like Boris Johnson know that fully well -

Few corrections to your false statements..... 1- People like Poles or other eastern europeans don't work like dogs for a few pennies. 2- There is no such a thing as 'few pennies' in UK. Fyi most people in UK work above minimum wage which is way above your alleged false statement. 3- There are xenephobes/ morons in this referendum who have literally 'jumped on the band wagon' with their own agenda on immigration being influenced by the likes of Nigel Faragre. The Immigration topic has been hijacked by the minority few of Brexit voters while most of them voted out because they were fed up with the bueaucracy in Brussels and wanted to take ownership for their country. 4- There are some unintelligent commentaries about refugees being at the doorstep of UK fuelled by Nigel Farage voters. This is totally false and misrepresrnting facts as these refugees are held at Croatia. 5- I am amazed how far you are carrying on with your misrepresentation of facts.... -

It is admirable for admirable brits to voice their concern over the bureacracy of the EU and take charge for their country. I din't think anyone had objection to that. It becomes problematic only when a group of minority exploit this to level score and blame everything on immigration. -

....yes and all thanks to Gareth Bale...On a serious note though the majority of votes for Wales is in exit camp. How would that make an independent Wales stronger? -

Under George Osbourne the benefits were cut substantially. One of the most effective chancellors UK has had for many years...Reality is some of british workers are damn lazy. A pole or someone from eastern european will do the same job at better quality and fraction of the labour charge. It's business! And that's what keeps the economy competitive. And then you see some of these xenophobic morons winging about immigration shadowing their own incompetence. It's a cold fact! -

The exit vote over remain was won marginal. Almost 50:50. If the split was 70% in favour of leave I could have understood your argument but it isn't...it shows the mess the country is in and the challenges potential next tory leader faces.
