Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone
So what. Europe's peace is thanks to NATO not the EU. You blather all you like about marginalising people (and you are right) but calling others Xenophobes when we have had immigration and multiculturalism rammed down our throats for the past 20 years it is of little surprise that the people of the EU are against immigration. It is not unreasonable to tell all the young men who are stampeding to Europe to go and sort out the mess caused by the West.
Let's just say it's multicultural. I've met some nice people, don't get me wrong, but there's only so many we can prop up whilst also sending money to their country of origin.

So what. Europe's peace is thanks to NATO not the EU.
I had some idiot crediting the EU for Europe wide peace, he couldn't understand that comrade Stalin didn't care we had uniform shaped bananas or a fishery strategy that allowed Spain more access to the channel than the British. He was just worried we could turn Moscow into Glass in minutes.
stupid is as stupid does.
You can see how effective all those roundabouts funded by EU money were when Vlad's tanks went into the Ukraine.
