Yes indeed. I find the majority of EU people have much closer social mores to us than people from Asia or Africa. I don't see many immigrants from N America or Australasia.

No. You are entirely incorrect.

 

Please do not post fake news here

1) Sovereignty is not an issue. We already have sovereignty which is why we are able to leave.

Ahem. We are?

Yes, being anti muslim is a peccadillo of mine. Sorry about that

 

I find European immigrants are much closer to our own social mores and customs and therefore integrate better

Not at all. Why can't the UK have a system as good as Thailand even?

 

You can not tell me that people can not be repatriated to the EU on human rights issues!!

 

No. You are referring to non EU immigrants

this Muhamedania joke comes from Denmark,

 

in early 70s a new political party was formed, the former and leader, Mr Glistrup, quite a character,

lawyer by profession as far as I remember

this party's focus was primarily the reduction of taxes fees etc etc,

they were not particulary happy about muslims

 

Glistrup never used the term muslim

he always referred to them as Muhamedanians

and he wanted them out of Denmark and back to Muhamedania

 

terminology did create some fuss in the danish parliament

I believe those with EU citizen status are in the minority.

 

There are far more muslims in Pakistan than France!

 

But you are technically correct. If a French Algerian muslim wishes to come to the UK and he has employment, we can not stop him unless he is ruled out by one of the control factors our government fails to employ. [and as long as he doesn't show on any of the databases.....]

None of what you now say nor the statistics which you quote (and with which I have no cause to argue) addresses my objections to your suggestions that I am an enthusiast for trade deals with despotic or unsavoury regimes, nor that my instinctive dislike of centralised unaccountable beaurocracy, overriding national government, is merely paranoia!

 

It is pretty obvious that by "considerable thought" I include reading and investigating the subject, together with my own various experiences over the years.

You distorted the overall context of my post. By dismissing the the criteria applied by the EU is a direct implication that a less stringent criteria would be more favourable, more favourable terms are certainly not going to come from a market a tenth the size.

This statement "my instinctive dislike of centralised unaccountable beaurocracy, overriding national government," only confirms the extent of the paranoia, instinctive being without "considerable thought".

"Throttle the flow" is jargon speak that sounds good but we all know the truth of the matter is, if you're from the EU and you decide you fancy relocating to the UK, UK authorities can throttle away all they like, you'll still be able to waltz in freely.

It is statements like that that got us in this mess, say it often enough and the less informed think it is true.

There is no way on this earth that Theresa May will ever put her hand up and say she could have reduced the number of EU migrants using EU legislation but took her eye off the ball.

You have to be blind not to see the number of balls the eye has been taken off, almost one a week, last week poverty and yesterday teenage gamblers, what next?

If anyone is "distorting overall contexts" it is you, with unfounded accusations of wishing for trade deals with dubious regimes, and allegations of paranoia.

 

There is little point continuing this discussion though, under the circumstances.

Enough of the attacks.
 
I do not claim to be "almighty" or even particularly intelligent,

You may not have had a problem with what he said, but are we really expected to believe you would have been arguing now in favour of another referendum, using the arguments you use above about democracy not being a stopped clock etc etc, had remain won? I'm sorry but I don't believe that. You'd be arguing that the vote had been cast and that people had to accept it and move on. And you would have been right. We can't forever be stuck in limbo, inbetween one decision and another. The vote was leave so we leave. If people don't like things once we have left, just like people didn't like things once we had joined in 75, they can campaign for change. That's democracy. You have a vote and the outcome of the vote is respected by winners and losers alike.

My position, like I think most remainers, is that I'll go along with this as long as responsible steps are taken to minimise the damage to the economy ... no one in the Leave camp was indicating that the UK would just crash out, all of them were promising a good exit deal. I did move on as we were all promised a damage limitation deal. I don't have a problem with others requesting another referendum, that is their right. Nigel Farage would not have gone away nor would the ERG group. 

 

I just watched an interview with the polling expert Professor Curtice who stated that 50% of leavers do not want "no deal", this was from a recent UGOV poll. So the "will of the people" does not support "no deal". What you have now is a government that cannot seal a deal and a parliament in gridlock. The only fair and sensible option is to put the issue back into the hands of the people of the UK. If leavers believe that the result will be the same why are they so scared? We all know thew answer to that question, they would lose. You cannot undermine democracy by a democratic vote.

Entering into a transition deal with the EU whilst sorting out the longer term trading relationship, something that the May plan delivers on. I didn't expect a great deal from the EU, I knew it would not be as good as what we have now, but at least it minimises the economic damage and gives business some clarity and time to adjust. A sensible and responsible approach given that some people's businesses and jobs are on the line. I would not support a "no deal" outcome ... which is consistent with most MPs.

We have lost now our Political class have done the deal and made WTO rules a no option as not planned for it. I just listened to David Davis seems there were negotiations going on behind is back. It looks like this has all been planned.

We will be worse off under May's deal, but no where near as bad as a "no deal" exit ... both are inferior to what we have now. The problem is that the pendulum has not swung far enough public opinion wise on May's deal to just abandon it. The pendulum has swung far enough on "no deal" ... few want this, and if this is the only deal in town then I think that a people's vote is a fair solution.
