All well and good, but where does your dislike of the British come from? I find most fair minded and quite a tolerant bunch. -

How can it be catastrophic not to change anything? At worst we might have a slow decline, the EU has a lot of inertia...Originally posted by Lockhouse View PostI'm voting out and have my fingers crossed but I'm not hopeful.
I honestly believe an in vote will be catastrophic for the UK.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Now it's the immigrants fault!Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostCrippling debt is partly a result of high house prices due to immigrants. Though there are other factors.
The immigrants take jobs our own feckless would rather dodge in favour of benefits. Benefits we can't afford that put us into debt.

The problem is we don't have any control over which ones we get. Australia for example has pretty tough immigration rules based on:Originally posted by darmstadt View PostLike this:

1. Age
2. Education
3. Skills and work history
4. Criminal checks to prevent known criminals
5. Health checks to prevent health tourism and spread of disease
6. Sponsorship for work
7. Minimum amount of money to bring in (held in a govt bond) incase they fall on hard times
All we ask as a country and fair minded people, is that we in the UK can apply the above rules to anyone wanting to settle here. Simple as. Those that meet the requirements are more than welcome here and get our full support.
Under non elected EU rule we get what we are given, and there's nothing we can do about it.Comment
