    YMMV.

      It won't be very green once they build all the houses they need for all the immigrants waiting at Calais to get into England. Maybe not so pleasant either.

          They will only get in if they meet the criteria. We will be having a points system similar to Australia for immigration. We'll take the non-criminal, well educated ones who can contribute to society off your hands though

              Australia is a self-contained landmass with strong borders; your comparison is laughable... Or it would be if I didn't think that you actually believe this nonsense.

                "In it, he calls England 'one of the most rotten societies in the world"

                Charming but accurate.

                  The highest rated comment on that Wail article (2716 'up' votes):

                  He makes many good points. The coastal towns of the North of England are repulsive. People are also obese which is a terrible shame for the English. That's why I'm voting YES to get away from this sort of thing. The Scots oldest alliance was with the French and Scotland is better with Europe than England
