Brexit

[LondonManc]

Look at the concept of Nationhood (hint: The Peace of Westfalia) just cos u wuz lucky enough to be born somewhere nice doesn't give you the notional right to dictate to the rest of humanity who you deem is worthy to 'let in'.

But for an accident of birth you could be a citizen of a country we've bombed to ****ery and looking for somewhere less awful to live. Would current you let hypothetic you in?

Is it cos you is British?

We get it, you're from Bolton.

I said this ages ago.

1. We stop bombing countries into oblivion and displacing people.

2. We spend money on rebuilding countries we've fooked up (hint: Marshall Plan)

3. We (i.e. the West) spend a bit less on the military and bit more on ending World Poverty.

But that won't happen just yet cos too many people want to slam the door and say 'not my problem' and 'wasn't actually me personally that bombed you'. Plus there's no money in poverty, there's lots of luverly money in arming people mind....

Stop being sensible.

Stop being sensible.

as so few of the migrants have nothing to do war zones he is talking tripe.

FactCheck: does only one in five migrants come from Syria?

They are predominately young males from non conflict zones.

If you & the other Bremainers find that difficult to understand the link above has pictures.

I'm all for helping people in desperate need. Not so much for people coming to Europe and leaving their peaceful country behind for it to get even more tulip.

Yes we were lucky, but why does that mean we should be stupid and let others to drag us down?

I guess you didn't understand all stek's points as living in a very poor country doesn't always equal living in a war zone.

In fact his last point is one you brexiters use to point out how the EU is damaging trade and the development of poorer nations.

Come in peace, obey our laws, respect our culture, and integrate.

Where Britain's migrants come from
46'000 China
33'000 Spain
33'000 India
29'000 Australia
27'000 Poland
22'000 France
20'000 USA
16'000 Italy
15'000 Romania
12'000 Lithunia
12'000 Germany
11'000 Pakistan
9'000 Malaysia
8'000 Portugal
8'000 Dutch

Of these 276'000 (three quarters of whom are coming to study or work, and half from the EU under EU freedom of movement), which particular ones have not come in peace, obey our laws, respect our culture, and integrate? Or is it just the 54000 others? And how many, specifically, from the EU, have not come in peace, and don't obey our laws etc. - they're the only ones that Brexit would, eventually, restrict.

As far as refugees are concerned - Refugee facts and figures | British Red Cross

More than half of the world's refugees (60 per cent) came from just five countries:
Numbers of people per country:
Syria: 4.2 million
Afghanistan: 2.6 million
Somalia: 1.1 million
Sudan: 744,000
South Sudan: 641,000

Yep -definitely "1 in 5" from war zones.

Nige and his poster, oh and the original from back then:



Look pretty similar don't they?

The image is taken from a Nazi propaganda video. “These are the type of Eastern Jews who flooded Europe’s cities after the last war" (that'll be WW1) "– parasites undermining their host countries. Threatening thousand year old cultures and bringing with them crime, corruption and chaos.”

I know, they played on the fears and prejudices of people much like right wing parties do now...you would have thought that we might have learnt by now that it'll end in tears

Let's choose who, and how many.

For the love of humanity, we could stop all EU migration and take quarter of a million refugees a year instead!

Nigel will be gone on June 24th no matter what the result
The bad thing is in case of Brexit we will wake up with PM Johnson and Chancelor Gove, is that what Brexiteers really want?
