So, I would suggest it's a fairly stupid government that thinks it can continue doing this forever - for big business' benefit or otherwise. Brexit was a result of several factors and this was one of them. People (the plebs) get to a point where they've had enough, even in the quite reserved UK.

Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostIronic that UK will probably lose Scotland, the oil industry, a significant part of the manufacturing industry, significant part of it's finance industry and a significant cut in wages and there will still be "mass immigration". The referendum was a vote on leaving the EU, not immigration.

Originally posted by VectraMan View PostCertainly didn't say that. Just saying that getting too tough on immigration will likely result in a reduction of GDP, and ultimately people care about that more. If I'm wrong go ahead and elect UKIP. Hopefully I'll have left the country by then.Comment

One thing seems clear, in CUK as in the wider world, it's the less cognitively gifted who've voted for Brexit.Hard Brexit now!
