There are lots of books available to read that can help people learn how to speak to people in an affable, friendly way. He should try some. Starting a tweet like the author did, isn't going to persuade anyone to look at it, except people who already agree with him. Simple innit.

WiseOwl182 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 What we really needed to keep almost everyone happy was remain in the EU with an ability to set an upper limit on migration. I don't think there'd have been a leave vote then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as EU countries are concerned free movement is a fundamental,and non negotiable. This was never going to be a problem with the majority of countries,but Eastern European’s tipped the balance.

If the European migrant crisis which occurred in the summer of 2015, shortly after Cameron won the General Election had never happened, then I don't think Leave would have won the 2016 EU referendum. Angela Merkel tipped the balance towards the UK democratic people voting to leave the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might recall that the EU proposed an intervention to prevent people to come here, despite Merkel's message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apelike Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 2 hours ago, I1L2T3 said: How will it fail? Because at sometime in the near future there will be no more cheap labour coming from the newer members to supply the developed EU countries with. What happens when the newer members economies start growing enough that jobs in those countries are no longer scarce and the people in those countries dont have to go elsewhere for a job. Just where will the developed economies then get their cheap labour from? At the moment the developed EU countries that have been in it for a while rely heavily on those very countries for the supply of cheap labour to enable them to maximise profits which then benefits the EU as a whole. People are predicting the same sort of effect in the UK because of Brexit and that lack of cheap labour coming here. Acording to wiki the twelve new member states of the European Union have enjoyed a higher average percentage growth rate than their elder members of the EU, and that will inevitably have an effect. I wouldn't at all be surprised if some of those once poor countries then decide they also want to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
