BREXIT - some assistance required

[mada]

Fuck NO - too many of the whinging Poms here now bitching about everything NZ but still waving the British flag. Weird how they do that - bla bla back home, bla bla too dear here, bla bla - however each one of them has a better life they could never afford in the motherland.

Nows the time to change our Immigration entry language requirements to Punjabi and Mandarin

Hard to appreciate all of the contributing issues from this distance. Easy to blame a burgeoning xenophobia driven by unwanted immigrant policies.

But I wonder how much of it is a simple reaction to the overbearing and largely socialist nanny state direction from Brussels.

May be economically disruptive for a while, but I can't really object to anything that drives against the relentless homogenisation of the world...

New Zealand. The worlds best place to watch from.

It's done now, BRover, Adi EU.

I think the whole country will be holding their breath even longer.

'xenophobia' is just like 'homophobia' complete bullshit.
Dudes generally don't like foreigners coming into their domain vs xenophilic chicks

I lived on a Council Estate in Dagenham for a year in the 80's at a mates place, mingled with the locals, watched couch burning on a Friday night, nearly collected all the Tennents Larger girls and was a regular Sunday Sports reader...
I doubt if leaving the EU will do much for them.
I did learn some useful stuff like how to make an electricity meter run backwards, open a Ford Escort without keys and catch the tube with not ticket.

On your CV you call the above 'life skills' - beats a University Degree.

I do see where you are coming from, but at the same time I'm more worried by the issues that potentially arise from the disaggregation of the stabilising groupings of nations. Cold war never escalated due to the way both sides new there was no way of winning, just mutual destruction. With England potentially splitting from Scotland, and Europe no longer having a voice on the UN Security Council, I am honestly more worried than I ever have been at seeing another conflict on the scale of WWII in my lifetime.

Must be time for a new Scottish referendum.... how long do we give the Union?

The Scotts are screwed. If they'd left the UK last year, the price of oil would have killed it for them. They are now scared.

PLUS, if they voted for indepenence, Spain would be veto them from getting into the EU.

The Scotts are

And then demographic analysis showed that the people with the degrees were 80% remain, and the people without were strongly against. Obviously more people without degrees than with. Does a degree automatically lead to an understanding of issues or vice versa? No.

My observations are that the people who expect the Govt to make their lives better with no effort on their own part are the ones who stay poor.
I don't imagine all of NI or Scotland have degrees but they probably can see past their dislike of Tories to the bigger picture.
Time will tell I suppose.
