Brexit Expert says it's a 'fantasy' that immigration changes will help businesses

[Mormolyce]

No, silly, it's going to go to the NHS, remember ?

Hospitals, hospitals, hospitals!

You won't be able to go out for a kebab without passing 10 hospitals!

You can't even say that the British wanted out, only 27% of the British population (37% of the voter base) voted Leave.

51% voted leave. If those that didn't vote didn't want to leave then it's their own fault for not voting and should STFU.

Something something vocal minority

Not really EVERYBODY knew the importance of the vote. If you truly felt passionately about remaining you WOULD VOTE. It's really that simple, majority of Britain either cba or don't care either way

No; precisely.

You can disagree but the evidence suggests a number of the British people didn't feel strong enough on EU to vote at all

I will concede majority was the incorrect word

Nice margin lol. But you were talking about what the people want, not who won the vote. You need to phrase your sentences carefully when your side barely scraped in. Almost as many people voted against it as for it, and heaps didn't vote at all, that's the reality.

Barely scraped in? Despite the fact that never in the history of UK referenda have over 17 million people voted for something or someone? Ever.
Pretty big majority, if not the biggest in British history. Ever.

Big number != big majority

Also the history of UK referenda ... there were like three of them.

Very true the fact stands, glad you agree. Here is another.

Never before in the history of UK referenda have 72% of the population turned out to vote. Ever.
It would be very fair to say that Brexit has the biggest validity in UK history. Ever.

doubtful since at least half the people who voted to leave had no idea what they were actually voting for after months of being fed completely idiotic soundbites from both sides

From both sides? I don't think I actually heard any arguments from Remain. i think most people just thought "they can't be that stupid" and didn't actually prop up any argument.

and if so it follows that half the people who voted for remain had no idea either.

That's my impression as an outsider as well. I can't tell how many people on this forum said "It won't happen" among the drunk cheers of the "It will happen, you'll see" crowd.

Oh as you are here this is for you from my favourite Scot.



Only fair to say it's from a new Brexit website that launched today. westmonster.com

I got a bit bored after 1 minute. I lost interest in pointed questions a long time ago.

Pointed questions = valid questions, shame no one seems able to answer them, not even a German MEP.

He did answer them. Not his problem that they're not interested, really. Did you get that bit where he pointed out that social security and labour markets are national reponsibilities not the EU's? Guess not... it's much harder to hate on the EU when they're being reasonable, I know.

He was just passing the buck. Everything bad that happens to an EU country is down to its national government whereas anything good that happens is to the credit of the EU. Most people have seen through that smokescreen, it's not reasonableness in any shape or form.

Ah ok, so any argument that doesn't agree with the Brexit is a smokescreen?

Do you think that'll carry Britain through the negotiations? :P
