Reply to: No signed 'future' Brexit deal within two years, says Theresa May

Most air crashes are caused by human errors from the flight crew. Perhaps misinterpreting things, or believing things to be true that aren't actually true and then choosing a disastrous course of action...

Nothing like Brexit at all really.

Apart from most Brexiters believe that spitfires are still flying over the White Cliffs of Dover and that England stand a chance of winning the world cup in Russia next year

Well let's look at the evidence:
Obviously not British: AtW, Diseasex
Already left the UK: Scooty, Darmstadt
Already left reality: Sas
(Feel free to chip in with any others)

That looks like a majority, of sorts, and as we know, it only takes a majority.

I would have voted along with a lot of other people but the Tories just can't seem to keep to their manifesto:

We will complete the electoral register, by working to include more of the five million Britons who live abroad. We will introduce votes for life, scrapping the rule that bars British citizens who have lived abroad for more than 15 years from voting

It's like Air Crash Investigation. It's not just one thing.

Agree very strongly. If "Call me Dave" had done something about non EU migration then Brexit would not have happened.

At least the vote got rid of him....

I think both EU & Non EU migration was a problem.

immigration took off in 1997.

Non EU peaked in 2004 and is back to 1999 levels.

EU migration is 5 times that 0f 1997 and is now higher than non EU migration.

go have a play

Also if Tony Blair hadn't overridden the EU's restrictions on freedom of movement..

Are you saying that all the people on CUK who voted to remain either do not live in the UK, are planning to leave or were not born here?

(Just want to clarify, since the leave group are well known for saying things, then claiming they didn't mean them.

As a rule of thumb for CUK who support Remain's case, yes. It does seem to be a general trend. Perhaps a poll is in order?

Majority <> all.

thanks for clearing that up!

*cough* Teresa May was Home Secretary...

Mass immigration started several years before the Eastern European countries joined the EU and the rise in immigration was fairly small from before to after they joined, obviously employers favoured EU citizens as it was less bureacratic to get them so the proportions shifted.

If you leave the EU this does not effect migration it just shifts it in favour of non-EU countries.

Once again proving that Logan's Run is a better solution than Brexit.

+1
Given the choice between a world run by millennial snowflakes and a trip to Dignitas, well it's not really a choice is it.

[WTFH]

There seems to be a bit of a divide here. I think you'll find that CUK remainers don't live in the UK, planning to leave and/or weren't born here.

Exactly, if you check the working population it is actually remarkably stable.

My home town has the exactly the same working population as it had in 2000 but the retired population has increased very significantly. The growth of the population of the town is purely due to the increase in the number of pensioners.

This is the problem.
