Bad governments?

English exceptionalism at it's most laughable, or were you attempting humour, tongue in check maybe? 

 

All of the former colonies really want to return to mummykins, it is just their bad governments that are stopping them. ???????????? The ordinary people are desperate to to be ruled by English toffs again, never mind the centuries of colonial brutality, all in the past now ...what what chaps!

 

Once again as in my earlier post I will try to drag things back to topic.

Level playing field- why would the UK gov. want one if the Brexiteer's lords and masters can make big bucks by exploiting the working class again.

 

That's what they voted for, shot themselves in the crown jewels there.

Ok, let's look at the countries top of the list of migration to the UK:

 

Poland, India, Pakistan, Romania, Ireland, Germany, Italy, South Africa, Bangladesh, China. No sign of Sahel countries there. Plenty of former British colonies though. So I think Kingdong's question was a valid one. 

Try reading it again, pay attention to the word "Currently", that should help. 

 

"Plenty" is really just Indian subcontinent. South Africa was Dutch till we put them in concentration camps.

You're correct, and so is Hestletine, but you see everyone has known that for months, it's not news, unless you feel yah, boo, sucks is a sophisticated debating point. Pity really, your previous post was coherently argued and moderate in tone.

 

The current issue is exactly how damaging is this going to be for the UK economy, and the answer is deal ...bloody awful, and no deal catastrophic. My opinion here is irrelevant, it is the opinion of a huge number of qualified economists, the vast majority in fact. 

You could of course search the net for the oddball that disagrees with them, or quote from the Tit and Bum man's Daily Express, but everyone has to face reality. 

 

I will,  when I change my increasingly worthless pound into Bhat in the future.

Patronising posts and in some cases very insulting posts do not necessary want a poster to engage in dialogue with the poster that cannot resist a snide remark, most of these posts do eminate from the people that cannot accept the democratic result of our referendum. If you treat people how they treat you, you will not go far in life, it is time to grow up and for some posters to stop these annoying insults, it serves no purpose, infact many posters will not respond to a derogative post and why should they.

Somebody yesterday disagreed with my post and instead of debating it, his cop out was to accuse me of being uneducated, do you think such posts should be ignored?

Could also be they are lost in counter arguments finally and hence don't reply anymore, as now very close is "the awakening "  from Brexit with a no deal called WTO rules 

 

BTW  the start of Brexit was full of snide remarks from Brexiteers  (no harm done for me , can handle them ..) as introducing a PM herself  as being a very difficult lady , and having their cake and eat it ….lol 

But anyway not a very smart approach for a start from a negotiation ….and yes ...the end is near...

 

It was a brexiteers choice …., democratic by their standards  … so swallow it

As I said before his 80 seats overwhelming majority made it that he can act as a would be dictator ….. but it has not an effect in the E.U. as he already found out by trying tunneling the negotiations to head of states each , Macron made it clear , only negotiation with the block not individuals ,and Germany send out the message to prepare for a no deal preparation even when it costs them the most, and not accepting any deal at any cost .

The message from E.U. is clear  80 seats counts  only in U.K. parliament 

 

And of course he can have a happy birthday wish , why not …. may aging bring wisdom , and maybe stops the persistent lying  ???? more called " U turns "

Quite a mouthful. Certainly not what I said though.

Macron has to be seen to say only negotiate with the block not individuals. Even though the block is run by only two individuals. Well, one and a half really.

I neither know nor care what your education is, and I wouldn't comment on it myself. I try very hard to dispute the message not attack the messenger. If the message is stupid I say so, that does not mean that the messenger is stupid. (The excellent book "The intelligence trap" ... why intelligent people do stupid things is worth reading)  I don't do patronising, I mean what I say, however "Time to grow up" sounds highly patronising to me ......granddad! 

My comment about the Daily Express stands, it is owned (At a distance now I believe) by Desmond the owner of the Daily and Sunday Sport  -  say no more. Many Brexiteers have quoted from it though possibly not you. I was not suggesting that you are a T & B man, it was a general comment on information sources.

 

Do you think you could produce a post without using the word democracy in it - for a change, you appear to think that if you lose one vote you no longer have the right to carry on fighting for what you believe in . One day the young will dump the Brexit that will very negatively effect their lives and freedoms, and this old men's trip back to the dark ages will be over, that will be Democracy also,  just like the famous repeal of the corn laws.

"Plenty" is really just Indian subcontinent. South Africa was Dutch till we put them in concentration camps.

Why is the word "currently" even relevant? The comment you were replying to talked about people from former British colonies migrating to the UK after they gained independence; saying that if British rule was so bad why move to the UK. Those countries gained their independence long before Brexit.
