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

      I don't dislike "the British."

        I honestly believe an in vote will be catastrophic for the UK.
        How can it be catastrophic not to change anything? At worst we might have a slow decline, the EU has a lot of inertia...

          Now it's the immigrants fault!

          The immigrants take jobs our own feckless would rather dodge in favour of benefits. Benefits we can't afford that put us into debt.

          Always an excuse. The day we take responsibility the moon will turn blue.

            Well I'm an immigrant who took a skilled job from someone. But I didn't ask for the Child Tax credit - those fools just gave that tulip to everyone.

                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    The problem is we don't have any control over which ones we get. Australia for example has pretty tough immigration rules based on:

                    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.
