Nope, because ErdoÄŸan decided he wasnt going to let the EU tell him what he could and couldnt do in his country.

It was nearer 50/50. But I'd say it proves my point. EU migrants are far more likely to move around Europe than those from outside Europe.

So not surprising many politicians kept their distance from them. Oh. OK, please express in a non-racist way why we have this problem because of politicians having only paid lip service to restricting immigration. Already have done. But you obviously didn't bother reading it. OK, so you're a closet racist. Thanks for the clarification. You've not read or understood it then? Hardly a surprise. -- *Why is it that to stop Windows 95, you have to click on "Start"? Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Are you saying racism is actually rather rare, then?

What a very odd notion. Surely most people vote to give the best result for them and theirs. Or has everyone suddenly become altruistic now too? But since you think the leave campaign was one of fear, you must have believed the lies from the Brexit one. Do you still do? -- *The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
