[Politics] Brexit

[Herr Tubthumper]

I can come and see you if you like.

I really don't think you'd fit in with my crowd. So, thanks, but no thanks.

No problem. It is nice being able to interact with the rest of the world and not being shut away on a wet isolated island!

You talk about Leavers like we have never travelled anywhere. I have been to Europe plenty of times. I have been to Italy more times than you have had hot dinners. I love Europe, I just hate the EU.

We'd get on just fine. Your perception of me is based on NSC posts. We'd have a chat, disagree ,then you can buy me a beer.

Where's all this isolation rubbish come from?
Do you want your mummy to hold your hand again because you're scared to so called be alone?

We're a European country and a very diverse country and a country that will never be alone as it's near on impossible to be frank.

You're probably right actually.

That's what they can't understand. Europe as a place is great. The EU itself is a corrupt dictatorship. They just see everyone who voted to leave as racists. It's the failsafe the fall back on. It gives them comfort. The can't see the fact that we see the EU in a different light to them.

Britain is going we to be in the hard shoulder with the hand brake stuck on for a long time.

Nice variation on the "my mum is Italian" card

I perfectly understand the idea that the EU is remote and undemocratic, as do many remainers. No one thought it was a bowl of peaches but a 'corrupt dictatorship' is hyperbole.

You should get together with Lord Lawson, hates the EU so much that he now lives in France

Is that the hard shoulder next to the cliff edge flying a plane with the handbrake stuck on without a parachute?

I'm certain that plenty of Germans hated the Nazis but loved Germany and equally plenty of Spaniards hated Franco but loved Spain. It's the same with the EU, so choosing to live in Europe isn't at all unusual. Did you really think that we would just all choose to live here?

Why, has someone on here got an Italian mother?

Well his grandkids won't find so easy to do the same, another one from generation selfish

Reminds my of when I lived in Oz, kids of south European migrants complaining there were too many Asians coming in and taking over

 

[nicko31]

It is not about travelling is it! I was born with the right to move, live and work freely anywhere in the EU and, now, people are trying to take that away. That is what is disgusting.

Indeed there's a bit difference between having a visa waiver program, and having the right to travel, live, student, have access to healthcare etc. I reckon those who want an European passport should be allowed it, personally I'd be happy to pay the 37p a day to keep it

So, before 1975, nobody from the UK was allowed to live in mainland Europe? History isn't your strong subject is it?

Or better still get more Lib Dems to wake up and move over to UKIP.

Anyone that does that can't have much conviction

So are you going to be stuck in this country forever never allowed to live and work in Europe?
