    To be fair to the EU, many immigrants to arrive have been non EU, mostly from India, Pakistan and other Asian countries.

    I think the EU immigration rules have compounded the problem here in the UK. Other EU countries have seen big rises in EU immigrants, but they haven't had the influx from non-EU persons that the UK have seen too.

    LibLabCon have welcomed massive immigration from Asia and the EU, but that's because they want sheeple on min wage producing vast offshore profits for the global elite.

      We could only get so lucky if so. Probably free up a lot of buy to let property and bring down property prices as well (the REAL reason for housing costs going up).

        And before all you outtie's get hufty when the in vote comes home you best prepare yourself for the upswell of disappointment. Nothing will console you for weeks.(speaking from experience here) - you'll feel like topping yourself.

        If close to 50% vote out but don't get it the country (well England) will be broken and ripe for takeover.
        maybe the brits have the balls to go it alone?

          Buy to let part of that sentence indicates why your point is crud.

            I'll believe it when I see it. This is the country where people are unable to properly handle merging onto a motorway because they're afraid total strangers will think they're dicks.

              Our course our crippling debt, consumer driven economy, inflated asset prices are nothing to do with us. It's all the EU's fault.
              That's not what I said at all. Don't assume all people who want to leave are thick.
              ...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

                Does this irrational dislike of the British stem from childhood?

                  It's a statement of fact. In many ways driving is more relaxing here than in Northern California, but the excess of caution and needless courtesy can be irritating. Not to mention the people who feel the need to cross multiple lanes to overtake me when I'm driving in the middle of three lanes "oh no, someone's not following the rules on an empty motorway!"

                    He's a Septic. It's part of our "special" relationship where the USA tells us what to do and we do it.
