I'm not sure what part of being on ignore you're finding so difficult to comprehend, RBMark.

Hint: it means I can't see what you write unless I choose to, which I don't because it's a waste of my time.

Still if you want to waste yours...

I generally respect what you say and Believe you're very intelligent, (don't agree always and make that very clear) but it's time to go to bed!

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

No indeed, some seemed under the impression that we'd wake up one day part of an EU superstate despite having at least 2 separate legal mechanisms that ensured it couldn't happen, one of which triggers a referendum.

I picked on that scenario as a bunch of people seem up in arms about the prospect, nothing more. It wasn't meant to indicate that Gavin is a xenophobe and I apologise if that was the impression given.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

The goal of the EU is to become a federal superstate that's a fact so we couldn't have continued being a member if we didn't become part of the superstate so we voted out before getting kicked out. You can't have a federal EU with members not part of it and back in the 70's when people were told the EEC was just going to stay a trading group nothing more they believed that and look where we are now and where they plan to be in ten years time. The two don't go together so separation was always coming we might have jumped the gun but that's all.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

The EU was aware of that and had acknowledged the need for a different tier for us and perhaps others.

We weren't going to be kicked out. That'd require a unanimous vote which wouldn't happen.

As with everything else involved in the EU all of that stuff involves a bunch of bureaucracy. It's an inefficient pain in the backside but it does help prevent unpredictability.

Good grief. In the space of a week I've gone from devoutly looking to leave to actually defending the EU. I've been assimilated.

My ex partner was Italian and so is my eldest daughter. I also lived with them in Italy for a number of years but they all live over here now. I work for the NHS which as you know is multicultural and half the staff on my ward are filipinos which a lot of them are my friends we have weekends away etc.

I think you've got me far wrong on that agenda. My father-in-law is southern irish as well.

Not sure why you would suggest I stick a gun to my head? I'm happily married with kids one of them just 2 years old.

By ensuring that areas where there are high immigrant populations are provided with additional resources to ensure that the needs of British nationals are not disadvantaged.

This would involve continuous demographic monitoring of immigrant populations and having a contingency fund which could be used on a rapid access basis to make the necessary provision in areas like schooling, health, employment etc.

We would have to make provision for immigrants but without disadvantaging local British national residents.

It's worth remembering that many immigrants come to the UK to set up businesses thus not only providing employment but also paying taxes, National Insurance contributions etc. and providing services.

Looks like Sterling has hit the bottom for now. So at least there is that.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

It would really help if our politicians pulled their fingers out, put the needs of the nation first, delayed the summer recess and got the election of a PM sorted out promptly before our financial situation gets any worse.

The EU want us to get on but the new PM will need time to decide an appropriate course and strategy. That can only happen once the PM is elected, thus the election should be conducted now as a matter of urgency.

Post Brexit racist attack as reported by witness "Carlos" as English men shoutting racist abuse then viciously attacking polish father and son was in fact......

A polish man and Polish gypsy (that's how it's reported not 2 Polish men) attacking two Polish men in a drunken brawl, wonder what made Carlos the witness report it as specifically English men, not British or polish?

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

This is the big problem today that all politicians seem to have.

They don't serve the people or the country, they serve themselves - hence this is where we find ourself in a split country, with both main political parties self destructing.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Sick in the head is the best description for them. Say what you like in the privacy of your own home, and believe you me, I do, they have a right to be here. Yes some don't and will be dealt with in the proper legal manner. These 'people', for want of a better word, should be jailed for life and leave the rest of us and the immigrants to get on with it. What's next? I'm a Scot, will I be told to go forth and multiply if Scotland goes independent? Will I be an illegal immigrant in England?

So what's new? Hasn't it always been that way, with the acceptance of a very few in recent years?

Did you read the comment and then the link? It wasn't racist it was Polish on Polish drunken fight.

There will be tax rises and spending cuts - Osborne

When are you having your emergency Budget, asks presenter Nick Robinson.

George Osborne denies he said there'd be one immediately after a Leave vote, but measures would be needed within a few months.

"We are absolutely going to have to provide fiscal security to people..."

Does that mean tax rises and spending cuts? "Yes, absolutely," replies the chancellor.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Yeah but he won't be the one to implement them.
