Less so for the EU, but still not great. It was a massive mistake, but we somehow have to climb out of the other side and try to move forward. None of that makes me resent leave voters any less, just in case you were wondering. This mess is all their doing. No. "Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles."

That's just daft. 1 minute ago, Al Bundy said: I am sure the likes of Mick Lynch would pull him up on his statement.

I've no doubt many folks voted for brexit thinking it would help with the illegal immigration problem but to actually state its because of a hatred of immigrants is not only ridiculous at best but incredibly silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly: You should not make wide ranging statements without the proof to back them up. People voted leave for all kinds of different reasons, some maybe because they don't want more immigration, but certainly not all. Secondly: all people who want to cut down on levels of immigration, ( like myself ), DO NOT hate immigrants. Some of us can see we live in a country with a desperate shortage of housing (especially at reasonable rents) and a desperate shortage of Doctors, Nurses, Dentists, Teachers and all kinds of other skills. Due to this, we cannot properly serve the population we have already got, let alone alone try to cope with hundreds of thousands more. Some of our politicians need reminding of this fact. If they let in just another thousand families, are they going to build a thousand homes for them to live in and recruit the extra health staff etc to look after them? It's a good idea to stop quoting the stirrers in the media and have a little think about the situation. OR, you could offer to house, feed and clothe, a poor immigrant family who may badly need it.
