Wanting to speak to someone about hiding their yet to arrive birthday friend's surprise cake (in the shape of an England football jersey with Euros 2016 on it) one guy noted a customer service number on the card. He called the number and a young lady answered the phone.
"Hello, I'm sitting in your restaurant and waiting for the server but don't see anyone around. Do you know what's happening?"
The young lady replied "There are no servers, sir."
"But why not?"
"Because there are no immigrants any more"
"But why can't you hire any British servers?"
The young lady laughed, "Don't be stupid. The Brits don't want those jobs. Oh, and if you can take your plate to the kitchen and wash it at the end as we don't have anyone to wash up either"
"Fuck you, we'll go someplace else." :dunno:
That would to be a place outside little England's borders.

Wrong. How simple things seem in Tyrannoworld. The NHS depends on foreign drs, nurses, ancillary and clerical staff. The social care sector too is heavily invested in migrant labour. Benefits tourism is virtually non-existent, with economic migrants not qualifying for benefits, and besides coming here to work and all, and EU citizens being no better off coming here to claim benefits than if they'd stayed at home. And sending a few prisoners back to their own countries to be tortured or killed isn't going to impact on the system. This vote is not the panacea touted by the Brexit camp.

Massive unemployment issue amongst the disabled and a growing one amongst the youth. The main issues are educational underachievement brought about by substandard teachers. And policies to clear a level playing field for the disabled.

Ah, ok, it's the teachers fault and not the EUs. And whose been taking the corporate wrecking-ball to education? Ah, not the EU either.

I remember in 2014 when the people of Scotland were told that we should vote against our independence in order to stay in the EU .... :banghead:
:- Scotland voted in favour of the UK staying in the EU by 62% to 38% - with all 32 areas backing Remain.

I bet a new independence referendum is in order... I wish Scotland a fast track into the EU.

Not the only, no, but the best, if you include your news service, FOX. According to it, the UK has just voted to leave the UN.
