Congratulations to Brexit
If you've got misgivings about too many
Polish builders being over here, along with, The French, the Germans the Italians in general not forgetting the Greeks then that' o.k. That's just xenophobia. And most people don't really know what it means in any case. However if you've got misgivings about dusky skinned people, and not so dusky some of them, with beards, and women and kids wearing shawls or scarves then that's probably racism. And so congratulations are in order. As this referendum was the first time in the history of the UK where a nation-wide vote was won on a primarily racist ticket. Similarly this is probably the first time a nation-wide vote has been won in any country in Europe on a primarily racist ticket since the Nazis became the largest party in Germany in the 1930's Which let's face has always been the best way of deciding complex questions concerning the future economic direction of any country. This was about immigration and nothing else although in the limited coverage I've seen only Farage used the dreaded "I" word. Economically and financially this is the UK shooting itself in the foot. First the nonsense about city fat cats. Right now in the city and beyond there are thousands of young people working for foreign owned banks, who owe their position to having borrowed tens of thousands of pounds to pass their exams, and then borrowed more in an overheated housing market so as to have somewhere to live with an hour or two of work. This morning many of those people are probably being told and certainly will be before October that if they want to keep their jobs they're going to have to sell up and re-locate to an as yet unspecified location outside the UK. No doubt similar briefings are being given to workers at the Nissan plant in Sunderland many of whom it appears were more concerned about immigrants if the polls are to be believed. In the little I've seen they got Tebbit out of his coffin, propped him up and asked him to speak. "So do you think this means Airbus will no longer buy their landing gear (or whatever) from Bloggs Aviation here in the UK.?" No actually no one does. But when investments are being planned to manufacture the next generation of landing gear or whatever where do you think they'll build the factory ? Somewhere where they can attract the best engineers in the EU, as Bloggs aviation possibly already do, or from a country which can't even train enough plumbers. The recession. Things like the Wall Street Crash and the Property Crash were caused by overvalued assets - bubbles bursting. And any slowdown in activity followed on from those. And so they're in no way comparable. The coming recession in the UK needs no such cause by will follow directly from a slow down of activity feeding on itself. Nobody is going to want to invest in the UK when there are better prospects elsewhere, where they can attract the best talent, while trade is going to be hampered by obstacles which weren't there before and won't be faced by our competitors. The idea of a face off with the EU and possible renegotiation is out of the window as well. The EU like everyone else knows this is all about immigration - plus freedom of movement of the best talent throughout the EU. And given their history and resulting guilt complex no German mainstream party is going to budge on that. So welcome everybody to the Third World. michael adams .... |

Ah - the "you're a racist" card. Nicely played. And most people don't really know what it means in any case. However if you've got misgivings about dusky skinned people, and not so dusky some of them, with beards, and women and kids wearing shawls or scarves then that's probably racism. And so congratulations are in order. As this referendum was the first time in the history of the UK where a nation-wide vote was won on a primarily racist ticket. ******** it was. It might have been won on a tribal ticket (English and/or British being the "tribe" - but that does not imply racism in the slightest. You can be tribal without wanting to go to war with all the other tribes, or exterminate them, or whatever. It's more a case of a case of "smaller is better" - and it allows the tribes to hold varying ideas of how to run their affairs, without any necessarily being "wrong". It is a wholly failed socialist ideal to want to put everyone together and make them play by a common set of rules. Doesn't work and never will. Same as with education. |

The opposite of your definition of 'racism' is totally free movement of people around the world. *If* that's what you're advocating, I think you must be quite mad. The nation state is a vital building block of society and to dismantle it, will lead to very dangerous instability. Strange that nations have been fighting for recognition for centuries, yet suddenly that's all changed, without any vote however ! |

So he's saying that anyone who voted for Brexit has a racist motive, & that would include the British Blacks & Asians etc who voted to leave? (Rhetorical question) And "disastrous economic consequences"? Interesting that on June 13th in the FT, the Deutche Bank (Germany's third largest bank) said that /if/ the UK voted to leave, the pound would drop. However they said that this would make UK exports more appealing to foreign importers & on the back of this there would be more jobs. They said that after a fall, stocks would outperform by the end of the year. Why don't you leave your front door open and say you'll provide for anyone looking for a roof over their head... oh and they will have a voice in how you run your house ! Of course you need to manage your resources, vet people's intentions and plan ahead.

"Martin Barclay" wrote in message news So he's saying that anyone who voted for Brexit has a racist motive, & that would include the British Blacks & Asians etc who voted to leave? (Rhetorical question) They object to further immigration. As many of the vox pops on the TV News confirm. Although funnily enough immigration and its role in the vote is being studiously ignored by the pundits. As to your rhetorical question. Many British Asians it seems are opposed to further immigration. Funnily enough the fate and future destination of refugees, which is where pressure from immigration is still likely to come has also been conveniently sidelined. Boris just now on the TV "We're the 5th biggest economy in the World" Er, as a result of having been in EU for the past 41 years So let's leave ! michael adams .... |

It's not teh vote I wanted but feared due to the clever so called non racists amonst us who have little idea on whats going on because immigration is just used to staff high end eateries with cheap staff. Which let's face has always been the best way of deciding complex questions concerning the future economic direction of any country. Hitler had his ideas he went to Germany as an ecomomic migrant and took over didn't he. This was about immigration and nothing else although in the limited coverage I've seen only Farage used the dreaded "I" word. If yuo'd watch the debates you'd know much more than you appear to. Economically and financially this is the UK shooting itself in the foot. First the nonsense about city fat cats. Right now in the city and beyond there are thousands of young people working for foreign owned banks, who owe their position to having borrowed tens of thousands of pounds to pass their exams, And why did they need that money ? Why did they decide to go to uni not to earn more money than someone that doesn't. and then borrowed more in an overheated housing market so as to have somewhere to live with an hour or two of work. and why do we have an overheated housing market ? This morning many of those people are probably being told and certainly will be before October that if they want to keep their jobs they're going to have to sell up and re-locate to an as yet unspecified location outside the UK. Then they;ll be plenty of places to buy or rent for those presently in teh UK who are happy to be here of any nationailty or colour. No actually no one does. But when investments are being planned to manufacture the next generation of landing gear or whatever where do you think they'll build the factory ? Cheapest place they can find with the cheapest workforce with teh biggest govebnrment subsurdy I guess. I don;t they'll locate anywhere because of teh weather, that is NOT the reaons they came to sunderland was it ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-17273462 The first credit has to go to the leadership at Nissan. The company has come up with successful cars - the Qashqai in particular has proved a worldwide hit. "Despite the Euro crisis the European market has grown by 4%, and our market share has grown by 25%. Then there is the workforce. Nissan's Sunderland plant is the most efficient in Europe, with exceptional industrial relations. The weakness of the pound makes the UK an attractive place to manufacture at the moment, adding to Nissan's profit margins. and now we have a low pound don;t we so good for nissan. And then there is politics. Both the coalition government and Labour have claimed credit for creating the conditions that are allowing Nissan to thrive. The coalition points to the £9.3m grant Nissan has recently had from the Regional Growth Fund - although it has yet to be paid out. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...93bn-handshake |

That's a nice generalisation, a sure sign that you are nuts. |

And most people don't really know what it means in any case. However if you've got misgivings about dusky skinned people, and not so dusky some of them, with beards, and women and kids wearing shawls or scarves then that's probably racism. And so congratulations are in order. I think you'll find that the majority of people voted leave because they are sick of EU forcing idiotic laws on this country when we have no say in it, not only that, but these laws are flouted by everyone else in europe apart from us! - go to anywhere in Europe and you'll see people smoking in bars, except in Britain So welcome everybody to the Third World. Cheers, but if it gets that bad, we can all just emigrate to some sap of a country, take our wives and kids and send for the rest of the family once we've been given a house. michael adams ... |

Good riddance to the ****s. These people don't create wealth for anyone but themselves and in the process of their dealings in the City they destroy the *real* wealth created by hard-working people who actually produce something useful that people here or abroad want to buy. If you're in the City you presumably know how a hedge fund operates. No one with any shred of morality would defend the practices of these money- grubbing parasites (like George Soros for example) who destroy the savings of millions through tactics such as short-selling and HFT. Hanging's too good for them and the sooner the FOAD the better - the ****s. |

An Farage certainly showed his colours today. Not only did he want the UK out of the EU, but wants to see the EU collapse too. What's not to like about that? It exhibits an increasingly strong resemblance to the old USSR. So his idea of sovereignty is not only 'taking back control', but wanting to interfere in other countries business too. Yeah, just Like Churchill did with Germany; what an interfering *******, eh? |

And so congratulations are in order. Thanks. Have you consider that a large section of the workforce have an income determined by the Living Wage for so long? Have you considered that only a couple of decades ago Graduates could generally buy a house within a year or two of getting a job? Can they now? Has school building, road building kept up with population growth? Have any new "Milton Keynes" been build in the past few years to house the growing population? If you blame the above on xenophobia, then you're as myopic as you can get. Sorry you've lost me. That doesn't surprise me. I haven't mentioned any of the above, never mind blame them on anything. No, you mentioned skin colour. Does that make you a racist? But if you seriously think any of the above will improve after Brexit, then I think you're in for a bit of a disappointment. There is a prediction of house prices going down. That can't be bad for first time buyers. |

No, you mentioned skin colour. Does that make you a racist? I was referencing the skin colour of the people in the Nigel Farage poster. It was necessary for Nigel to show such people rather than say Polish builders or totty, as otherwise anyone looking at the poster wouldn't have known what he was talking about. Basically if you're going to scapegoat people as the basis of a campaign strategy, then its best to choose people who can be identified as such, from say 200 yards away. I'll let you work the rest out for yourself. michael adams .... |
