BREXIT - leave or remain?

[Dhrizzle]

I think most rational people would put the protection of their heritage, the protection of their borders, and the protection of their country ahead of any economic gains.

Britain is a great empire. They excel in invention, philosophy, industry, music, and many other areas. They will be fine.

The road they were on, being pushed to accept a racial and cultural homogenized society was destructive to the native British people.

I salute and commend them.

I don't think you understand what the UK or the EU actually are.

Exactly. That's like saying the house of Lords is elected because they're chosen by the PM

If you're going that way, the PM isn't technically elected either.

No, it's more like the Prime Minister electing Cabinet members. You don't get to decide who becomes Justice Minister or Chancellor.

We're probably safer from the terrorists in Scotland. I mean, look what happened to the last one.

"I kicked a burning terrorist in the bollocks and broke my ankle."

Billy Connolly's take on it was pretty good.

We're seriously considering moving up there. Been looking at jobs since Friday. Kinda odd when half my family moved in the other direction 50 odd years ago.

The difference in housing prices might blow you away. Buzzfeed has been doing a series of comparisons between London and Scotland (unfair I know since London is so overpriced but hey);

On the contrary. The EU was a bureaucratic hegemony slowly corrupting the cultural society of the native British people and their way of life by forcing onto them any number of restrictions and obligations they didn't want.

They can certainly trade and co-exist with other countries, but being ruled by bureaucrats, people they don't even know or vote for is not something they were willing to put up with anymore.

They should be commended for their courage for telling the globalists and the regressive cultural marxists that their country, heritage and future wasn't for sell to the elite.

You sure know how to sugar-coat a combination of washed up phrases, lies and hot air.

Agreed.

Culture is a powerful thing.

I wanted to vote against large sums of money being given to an un-elected group sitting above an elected government. I also wanted to vote against foreigners coming over and being given handouts and large houses.

But then I realised it wasn't a referendum about getting rid of the monarchy.

OT: Nationalism can be great but dangerous as well in my eye's. the EU isn't perfect by a long shot and certain things should be changed. But leaving the EU feels like going backwards to me. I sure hope Holland never does a crazy thing like that.

Well, that's about the only positive thing about the Brexit for me. I hope it sparks the EU to make some changes

Not as powerful as you think.

They were doing it to protect the cultural heritage of the native British population. This is a great thing.

Sorry if your rainbow coalition was rejected.

Your post would make a lot more sense if the EU had actually corrupted the cultural society of the native British people, who by the way really had no interest in European politics at all as we now realise, into anything. Let alone against their will, since the British Government pretty much agreed to all of the legislation put into place. Again, you're blaming the EU for something your own national Government is responsible for.

And judging by the tone of your post, you don't even know who's representing you in the UK parliament at any given time, except when you now look it up because I'm calling you out for it.

And the last bit... what "elite"? Who's selling something? You got the best deal out of all European countries, it's a bargain no country will ever get again. If anything, the EU has sold core advantages to Britain's snobism. It's cute that you use terms like globalists (as if plebs like you understood that Britain really is the globalist in the EU, not the other way around) or marxists when clearly you have no idea what they mean.

Native English population, you mean.

It's actual bullshit. Your post that is. From front to back, not one bit of it is actually factually correct or heck, even uses appropriate terminology. You should be ashamed of such a post.

How often do you need to get told about how wrong you are about the unelected part? In other words: How dense are you? Or are you going to criticize the EU on the same point you just celebrated the British for?

I think you've confused the EU with the Anglo-Saxon invasions of the 7th century and the mechanisms of the EU with an anti-Semitic, anti-communist conspiracy theory that was recently revamped on 4-Chan and other alt-right sites.

What threat was there to our cultural heritage, considering the EU were far more likely to fund those sorts of things than a Tory government during an economic downturn? Also the closest we've had to a rainbow coalition was the Con-Dem cluster fuck we had a while ago, is that what you're referring to?
