The Thread of BREXIT

[mistermack]

In the local clubs round here, when the place is full, they close the doors, and it's one out, one in.

It's a safety measure. That's what Britain should do right now.
What's wrong with that? Is there some unwritten law that says it's racist not to keep growing your population at a ludicrous rate? The UK population grew by half a million in one year !!! While new housing is running at about 150,000. And the same imbalance goes for doctors, dentists, and teachers etc.
The people coming in can't do that stuff. They are shelf stackers and turnip pickers.

If the EU had had a provision for what happens when a country gets too many incoming migrants, this would never have happened. It's a consequence of arrogance at the top. They've been ignoring what the people on the street have been saying, and now it's biting their asses.

This isn't the end of it. Other countries are going to do the same. They are shitting themselves in Brussels, and so they should. The people on the street in France are saying exactly the same as the Brits.

The EU moguls think they know better than the people they work for. So did Cameron. Fuck em.
I'm over the moon with this result. And if they try to rob the country of what they voted for, there will be big trouble.

Phoenix will rise....you lot weren't doing nothing except going round in circles in your tin boxes....anyways. If you want to survive the coming social chaos you can...mostly. Eight months from now the world will be very different if it is still here.

Fake... 2.08

It took you that long to realise? And after I pointed out that it is an act fit for the cabaret routine if the interviewer's delivery was deadpan?

Did have a stint mixing with the lowset. Obvious to me from the start...needed to find the moment it would be obvious to those with no social mobility experience.

To an extent, I can agree with mm. There are reasons to oppose immigration that are not racist...

Lol. That petition everyone's signing; it was set up over a month ago by a Leave voter in the event of what he thought was an inevitable Remain win, and now he's angry about it.

Indeed. The mere fact that the rulers in Belgium are not elected is enough justification for dismantling the EU, by force if necessary.

The whole point of the EU and its immigration non-policies is to dilute nationalism by deliberately flooding member states with immigrants and using the "rules" of the EU to prevent those nations from protecting their borders and national identities. It's as fucking Marxist as it gets, and the practice of encouraging and facilitating the immigration of uneducated, unskilled, dependent-class people from the Middle East and elsewhere is calculated to increase the numbers of dependent-class proletarians clamoring for government handouts, give them the vote and agitate them into Marxist proletarian class warfare against the "bourgeois rich people" who are merely average citizens making average wages with the express purpose of following Marx's Communist Manifesto guidelines to destroy national sovereignty and impose global Marxism.

Fortunately, the citizens of Britain have begun to see the true nature of the Marxist EU threat and decided to tell the overlords in Belgium to go fuck themselves. France should be next, then Germany, after it rids itself of the Marxist useful idiot Merkel.

I told you so.

BREXIT FACT: The estimated £200 billion fall in the value of the UK stock market is equivalent to 24 years' worth of UK contributions to the EU.

Yes, but that's just funny money. When the nervous nellies regain their composure, it will magically reappear...

Article in the Age about a possible Scottish veto to Brexit:

Scotland will do whatever it takes to remain in the European Union, including potentially blocking legislation on a British exit from the bloc, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Sunday.
Scotland, a nation of five million people, voted to stay in the EU by 62 to 38 per cent in Thursday's referendum, putting it at odds with the United Kingdom as a whole, which voted by 52 to 48 per cent in favour of an exit from the bloc.

Under the UK's complex arrangements to devolve some powers to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, legislation generated in London to give effect to the vote to leave the EU may have to gain consent from the three devolved parliaments.

Scotland may need to consent to Brexit by amending section 29 of the Scotland Act 1998, which the House of Lords European Union committee says binds the Scottish Parliament to act in a manner compatible with EU law. The Welsh and Northern Ireland assemblies may need to amend their respective legislation also.
Asked whether she would consider asking the Scottish parliament to block a motion of legislative consent, Ms Sturgeon said: "Of course."

"If the Scottish parliament was judging this on the basis of what's right for Scotland then the option of saying that we're not going to vote for something that is against Scotland's interest, of course that's going to be on the table," she said.
Ms Sturgeon's pro-independence Scottish National Party (SNP) holds 56 of the 59 seats representing Scotland in the national parliament in London, while in the devolved parliament in Edinburgh it has 63 seats out of 129.
Asked if she could imagine the fury of British voters who had made the choice to leave the EU if the Scottish parliament blocked Brexit, Ms Sturgeon said: "I can, but it's perhaps similar to the fury of many people in Scotland right now as we face the prospect of being taken out of the European Union against our will."
Sturgeon reiterates independence option
Ms Sturgeon said she would seek a way of negotiating directly with the EU on the best way to achieve Scotland's aim of staying in the bloc.
She said it would be "completely unacceptable" for whoever succeeds David Cameron as British prime minister to try and stop Scotland from holding a second independence referendum on the basis that the issue had been settled in 2014.
Ms Sturgeon has said a new Scottish referendum on independence from the rest of the UK was "highly likely" if that were the best option to keep Scotland in the EU.
"There are going to be deeply damaging and painful consequences of the process of trying to extricate the UK from the EU. I want to try and protect Scotland from that," Ms Sturgeon told BBC television.
Scots voted against independence by 55 to 45 per cent in a 2014 referendum after a campaign during which remaining in the EU was presented as a key reason to stick with the UK.
Scottish newspaper the Sunday Post published a poll by research firm ScotPulse, taken on Friday, that suggested support for independence had surged to 59 per cent after the Brexit vote.
Ms Sturgeon said the Brexit vote was a game-changer that made it legitimate for Scotland to revisit the issue of independence.
"The context and the circumstances have changed dramatically. The UK that Scotland voted to remain within in 2014 doesn't exist anymore," she said.
A senior German lawmaker and ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Sunday that an independent Scotland would be welcome in the EU.
"The EU will still consist of 28 member states, as I expect a new independence referendum in Scotland, which will then be successful," said Gunther Krichbaum, a member of Merkel's conservatives and chairman of the European affairs committee in parliament.
"We should respond quickly to an application for admission from the EU-friendly country," he told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper.
A vote for independence would end the 300-year-old union between Scotland and England, its far more populous southern neighbour, dealing a body blow to the UK at a time when it is likely to still be dealing with the fallout from Brexit.
That could lead to border controls being set up between the two countries.
"I certainly don't want to see in any circumstances a border between Scotland and England," Ms Sturgeon said. "Whatever happens here England is our nearest neighbour and will always I hope be our best friend but these are circumstances in which Scotland hasn't chosen to be."

Nicola Sturgeon really is a deeply annoying person.

[JimC]

Not in most Scottish eyes...

[Brian Peacock]

I fear the SNP are grasping at political straws. Nobody is going to recognise Scotland as an independent entity without Scottish independence - and short of a popular revolt/UDI that will can only come from a vote in the national chamber. The problem with the N in SNP is the same as the problem with the I in UKIP - nationalism is an impoverished, and limited political ideal.
