Which it won't. Quite the opposite.


Opinion, not fact.

I visited Czechoslovakia a year after the wall came down. Britain today
resembles it.

You clearly live in a very different Britain to the one I live in.

Well, I recognise it.

UKIP should not have a policy on everything. In fact it should have
almost no policy on anything. That's not a weakness, that's a
strength.

You can't really believe that can you?

Absolutely6. No policy ion fo9xshubtning, gay marriage, plain wrappings
on cigarettes sod all that.

So what if I actually want my MP or MEP to represent me on those issues?
I should vote for somebody from a non-monomaniacal party? OK, great.

Well you do at the moment.

We are flat broke


No, we aren't. We're a G8 economy, and one of the more successful ones.

We are flat broke and buried in debt, can't you count?

we are being invaded by LEGAL immigrants

No, we aren't. And, even if we were, there are more UK nationals living
elsewhere in the EU than there are EU nationals living here. If the UK
gets rid of "them", surely it is only fair for the EU to get rid of "us",
too?

You really do live in a fairy tale world don't you? We ARE buried in
legal immigrants and each one costs the UK taxpayer at least £10k a
year. Most of the EU living brits are retired and non working, so they
cost their host country nothing. If the working Brits abroad are
returned, I'm quite happy with that, they can contribute to our economy,
not someone elses.

Oh, and if you're conflating non-EU migration, then don't forget that's
something that is ENTIRELY in UK hands.

Not whilst we have a gutless government.

and we have no power to stop anything or change anything because the EU
sets the rules.

Yes, we do, and no, they don't. Even if "they" do, "we" are a substantial
part of "them", always assuming some of "our" elected representatives
actually bothered to do the job they get paid for.

Reality (as seen from outside the pages of the Daily Mail) really isn't
your strong point, is it?

As has been explained to you, the elected representatives have no power
to change legislation, let's get our democracy back.
