  • maybe there is a housing shortage due to the impossibility of planning for an economy that allows hundreds of thousands of immigrants in every year?  Dunno, that;s probably racist.

    Ridiculous article. From the Guardian, so any semblance of reality is fleeting at best. So none of these problems existed before the Brexit vote? I doubt it. Anti Brexit people are like anti Trumpers

    Good article, and it makes the same point(s) that I have been making for a while.   The referendum was twenty months ago and the government seems not a whole lot more prepared for the conseq

CEO's my whatsit!

Thais, Japanese and Chinese people are Brexiteers?

I think your inability to understand that comment rather lends itself to the stereotypical view of how a Brexiteer thinks..... Or rather doesn't think.

You also seem to fail to realise that your comment about "Thais, Japanese and Chinese" is in itself an example of racism....so QED.

I'm sorry. You "educated" ones don't talk to CEOs. They don't hang out with the nebulous types down at the vegan restaurants.

No such thing as a Brexiteer.

Your inability to have a normal conversation certainly is.

 

You're a child.

Your angry response says it all.

Superior to what???

Also what is a nebulous type?

Apparently so.

Please let's see your definition of a "nebulous type"!

I think that failing to understand the value of an editor would as you suggest put a person backwards in time.

But you seem to think editing was invented 150 years ago. Is this another fascinating fact discovered by Brexiteers?

Anyone who thinks leaving the biggest single trade bloc on the planet and replacing it with piecemeal trade deals with minor economies dotted around the world is going to work needs their head examined.

No we didn't...when was this GOLDEN age to which you allude? 

Historically Britain in all of its guises has, been part of a trading bloc and part of Europe.

"The preference of most people is to remain in the EU" is what you said.

 

Then you are wrongly assuming that the UK is more pro EU since the vote.

 

I see that Grouse is back to insulting people who disagree with him once again.

Socialism is anti freedom and behind the pro eu movement. Central control. They hate the concepts of freedom and independence.

 

They call freedom and independence people "far right" which shows how brainwashed they are. 

 

It's sad that people would hate freedom in 2018.

 

 

Justfine, while you dream up your strawman arguments against socialism, you might want to reflect on the point that it was socialism that provided you with the NHS while you were growing up, access to an education, the backing of a welfare state and the backing of the services that you'll rely on when things go wrong for you in Thailand and you run home to the comfort of the socialist nanny state.

Strawman - another word used by people on the internet but not in real life.

 

Too bad your assumptions are all wrong as well.

 

Oh well.

Never a right wing project, if you look into the details the EU is a VERY right wing project.

People that want out are seeking self government and a fair democratic system.

Forget the smoke and mirrors, look at what is happening.

Oh right, so when the UK Conservative Party complain about 'Regulations on business from the EU' that's right wing regulations is it?

 

Are the EU regulations protecting the environment right wing regulations?

 

How about EU regulations on the banks (that the Tories are eager to get rid of) are those right wing regulations. 

 

Let's not forget EU laws on human rights, gosh more rightwing stuff.

 

EU laws on protecting personal privacy, sickening righwing EU thinking. 

 

EU courts forcing corporations to pay more tax - a sneaky rightwing plot.

 

The EU and that idea they have to enact the Common Consolidated Tax Base and in doing so close loop holes businesses use to dodge tax - More EU rightwing laws thankfully delayed by the objections of Britain's left wing Tory government. 

 

Away with you and your nonsense claims George.

It also provided the State pension IF you paid in enough contributions. It also FROZE the state pension if you had the temerity to chose your wife from a different country and want to live with here there.

 

It also nationalised many businesses like the railways, the Post Office, British Telecom etc and those industries lost money for the state due to being vastly overmanned and inneficient.

 

Still for a socialist the silver lining is that it is easy to spend other people money.

The only assumption I make is you are from the UK raised in the UK, if so then the statements I have made are correct.

I trust you are not arguing for full state pensions to be paid IF you haven't paid enough contributions. That aside you argument is against socialism, but you want others to carry the burden of your pension (your pension contributions come nowhere near the fund size required to pay your pension - your pension is subsidised by general taxation).

 

Nationalisation of the railways is back on the political agenda, it seems a profit can be made from privatising the railways and creating monopolies, but the profit is made at ridiculous cost to people's pockets and the provision of poor service. 

 

The post office was not nationalised, it was established as a national 'government run' service, BT was not nationalised, it grew out of the post office. 

 

The problem with socialism in the UK is it is reserved for Banks to socialise their risks at cost of the public service and the public purse.
