No, but I don't post ignorant bigoted 'opinions' such as Maybe, just maybe people of Britain don't want their country to look like Pakistan and liked their country the way it was before the EU?

I mean, WTF does the EU have do with Pakistan?


How will Brexit and the EU have any effect on people coming to the UK from Pakistan?

You do realize that Pakistanis immigrate to the UK as part of the Commonwealth and not through EU borders? Brexit would just cut back on the immigration of Poles and Romanians and Spanish and other European groups.

Yes, and yet they still say Canada because they don't know even that much.


Mexico is a great place for people with money. It always has been. Disparities of income and class society are great for a certain class of people. Being a plantation owner was paradise in the South. Problem is not so much for slaves or the underclass.

I don't think it's about countries becoming more diverse, it's about having control over which people are allowed to immigrate. A nation has a fundamental right to only let in people who will be positive assets. The EU has undermined the UK's ability to do that. There is nothing racist about not wanting unvetted hordes of people coming in and causing problems. The Gulf States won't take any refugees and they are the same religion and ethnic group.

I think the American media, run by people who start screaming "racist!" the moment they leave their safe room, is downplaying the role of UK tax payers not wanting to subsidize the leech countries in the EU. There will be some cost added by leaving a trade union but more tax revenue will stay home.

I find your particular attitude and personal attacks reprehensible and the root of the problems we face in America today. This should be loud and clear to you. I can't be any more direct.
Now either debate the issue or back off with your personal attacks on me. This is a debate forum, not an attack forum like stormfront. You don't like my opinions, that too bad, deal with it.

you call me personally a disingenuous idiot. One more personal attack on me and you're out of here.
I actually gave you numbers! Dense dense dense...

Let's say of the 350,000 worldwide expats receiving SS, 100,000 of them are living in Mexico (apparently domestic retirees don't count hahahahaha). That's only 0.25% of all retirees! Completely and utterly insignificant.

I again ask you directly: why have the vast vast majority of rich Limousine Liberals not said they will move to Mexico if Trump wins, whereas they will move to Canada? In fact I haven't even seen one rich actor, singer, politician, artist, etc. say they'd move to Mexico...

Awww, your feelings get hurt? I guess it's okay to call people bigots like you have all throughout this thread. Typical liberal hypocrite.

Not all Pakistanis immigrate that way. Brexit will put a stop to all unchecked immigration.

Seems many U.S. citizens didn't know what they were voting for...........

Now might this have happened at some point in the future if the following didn't happen? Sure, it's possible but it would have been at some point in the future.

We played a big role in setting a bunch of this off. There were many reasons for this and I'm not blaming it all on one thing but one big complaint was the influx of Syrian refugee's and those who wanted a say who gets in and who doesn't, especially with the terrorist attacks.

This didn't happen anywhere to the extent is does today before we started bombing and destroying other countries. If we had stayed out of Syria nowhere near as many are forced to flee. Many complaining about the exit refused to speak up when the one who promised to not start new wars, started new wars.

Many who are complaining need to look no further than their mirror.

And? Of course they've going to maintain trade relations and negotiate new trade deals with the UK outside the EU. The real question is, if those deals will be better than the current deals they have as a part of the EU and what will it mean for sectors like finance and real estate that have been large parts of the British economy under EU membership. The EU is unlikely to grant the UK the same level of access to the single EU market if they break away, there's going to be changes when things are renegotiated--there's no a la carte membership. In the end Britain could be fine, but in the short term there could be a very rough period as things adjust.

The actual logistics of breaking away from the EU though is going to take time as it is even after Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty is triggered.

What's entirely ignorant about that statement? Pakistan might be a poor choice of words, but they will not need to accept the flow of immigrants in the EU originating in Afghanistan and Syria. "Maybe" is also sarcastic remark. You are grandstanding.
