    1. Sovereignty is important. The country itself decides what it wants, not some arsewipe of a bureaucrat in Brussels.
    2. The tea bag example was in the same vein as angrys banana example. Paper trails and rule writers have made it, that if you wrote all the regs down on A4 paper, it would stretch for 130 miles end to end. They employ 1000's of paper shufflers and move this circus between two cities just to pacify the French costing millions a year.

    3. The EU is negotiating with these elites for gain. Things TTIP, will effect the NHS, badly. That bothers me. It should you as well.
    4. The Euro has caused mass unemployment. It brought up the standard of living for economies not ready for it and unable to get into the black. Hence Greece for one. Buying goods they could ill afford and the debt crash destroying the economy and jobs.
    They are now caught in a cycle of austerity, and their bollox gripped by Germany, firmly.
    5. Given a boost to UK GDP at what price? Cheap labour to exploit to make individuals richer. Our young will go the way of the crappy countries in the EU soon. Unskilled/lost/and unemployed. They struggle to get a job and gain experience, because an east European is prepared to work for less and is experienced. If you believe that's good long term for this country, then god help you.
    I have interviewed loads of youngsters in tears, trying to get a job.
    The same problem of free movement is hitting these kids. Schools over stretched and so education suffers.
    6. Out sourcing? The EU gives grants to these ****ty countries to get our factorys over there. Why? Because they want their unified Continent under one flag. Its part of the plan.
    7. I read and gather my info from every where. You obviously don't and probably believe Camerons hand book of the glorious EU.
    8. You ignored crime. It has and is still rising. Are you aware that 9% of the prison population is Polish alone? Half of foreign nation prisoners, are east european. Romania enjoying a 3,882 drop in prisoner figures since it joined the EU. Latvia’s prison numbers have fallen by 3,092 while Poland’s have decreased by 2,997.
    You may think it's OK but I don't, especially as people have died in this country at the hands of known criminals who have slipped in because they can.
    Try telling the families of them how wonder it is. Not that you'll take that on board anyway Swale. I take comfort in the fact that your opinion on here is the minority. The vote tells me, That would be about right.

    No point trying harder. None so blind as those that won't see.

    I'm not blind just not won over by you cherry picking information that supports your view and presenting it without context.

    In a later post you've quoted a guy who worked for Blair saying it was the democratically elected Sovereign UK government that allowed mass immigration, which if true - I know Blair cocked thing sup by not adopting the 7 year rule before free movement for newly joined states citizens was allowed - means that your blaming the EU for a UK government policy, which is something I've tried to point out to you. Much of what you blame the EU for can be laid squarely at the door of UK governments!

    The EU has paid millions in grants to the UK to build infrastructure and factories over here.. part of the Grand Pan or an attempt to stimulate the economies in deprived areas? Depend how much of a conspiracy theorist you are I guess!

    I didn't ignore crime - I wasn't aware of the fact that eastern europe had emptied its jails and the that all those criminals had come over here resulting in a huge crime wave!! Probably because it hasnt happend!

    Your desperation shows when you say "crappy countries", be proud of your own country but assuming we are superior is arrogant and obviously wrong because their citizens are better skilled , harder working and more reliable than a proportion of the UK's, but hey its good to have a scapegoat to blame when one is feeling put upon? Its a familiar approach, successful for a while in 30's germany I believe?

    A crime is a crime, who commits it is irrelevant and if a Latvian committed a crime against me, I'd no more blame latvians, than I would if the person was from Nottingham! But maybe I am a little more sophisticated in that respect? Obviously personalising it is a sign that despite your comitment to the faith, you arent entirely convinced that the massive gamble that is Brexit will work out for you.

    I can confidently forecast that most who voted Brexit wont see one advantage to them, though they may see some disadvantages but hey I'm sure you and the rest will think it worth it!

    • Fair enough Tricky...my original question was the one to Ramspride which I have referred to.
      You have sought to put the impact of immigration at the centre of the discussion and possibly confused 'change' with 'dilution'.
      I don't dispute that the country, and indeed the World, are very different places to the one I grew up in. Some of those changes are for the better, some for the worse and many, imo, nothing to do with the EU.
      This thread though is about the impact of the EU and the Brexit vote. The question of immigration is undoubtedly pertinent but it is not, when discussing either the EU or Brexit, of overwhelming relevance even though that is what many who voted 'Leave' have apparently been encouraged to think.

      P.S. We'll have no red writing on this site thanks.

        Health and safety laws are not entirely from the EU and the UK chooses to apply them more rigourously than other Eu countries, not a bad thing IMO but a decision of the UK government.

        So the Uk has to comply with human rights laws? Yes they may be blunt in some cases but a sweeping they stop us deporting criminals is not true and anyway dont you want to live in a civilised country that respects human rights???

          Plus immigration didnt start with the EU and globalisation and technology have changed things far more significantly and no matter what the more conservative of us think, change is going to happen more quickly and whilst we can debate endlessly as to whether its for the better or for the worse (a bit of both is generally true) voting to leve the EU will not halt it!

              • Well whatever.
                As I said, no matter what I nor what anyone else has said, the vote went out.
                We can squeal till the cows come home. May says it's done, we're going. I'm prepared to move on and do my bit.
                For me, I'll continue to hire local youth and give them a trade.
                I won't be employing a east european, just because they are cheap.
                I'm thinking long term. The way the EU is going, from immigration troubles ( I won't spell it out)/ Italy on the brink now/ German Deutsche branches closing/ Greece,Portugal,Spain scraping the barrel in economic and unemployment/ Denmark,Holland not happy and want out/France simmering into chaos/ bugger it, tis only a matter of time. They either reform now, or collapse.
                I wanted out and got it.
                Last I'm saying on it.
                I've done enough whinging and moaning about things not being fair, being a Forest fan.
                I've decided to move on and make the best of what I want, not a non entity, in Brussels.

                • Pleased to hear you 'won't be employing an East European, just because they are cheap'. That sort of attitude from gang masters and the like has created part of the mess that's been created, not by the EU but by greedy and avaricious employers. Equally I'd hope you wouldn't rule out a potential employee just because they come from Poland or wherever.
                  Either way, I've learned something and although there's much we continue to disagree over, at least we've behaved better than the majority of our leaders.

                      I agree its going to be interesting times politically and the political elites in the Uk and other countries should sit up and take notice, though I wont hold my breath, my guess is that in the UK they will do what they always do, pay lip service and manipulate matters to a way that suits them and their corporate masters but we shall see.

                      As for other countries we shall see, most don't take the narrow view that many Brexits have and it would be a shame to see the rise of the far right on a false promise of freedom, which as history has shown is not a welcome move, but then it is in the hands of politicians to address peoples comcerns.

                      I would hope you dont employ anyone on the cheap, there are laws against that, (though our UK government dont seem very good at imposing them) and good luck though with finding enough local youth with the right attitude and skills maybe in your line of work there are sufficient for what you need, unfortunately that does not seem to be the case in other industries that actually pay the going rate.

                      For me personally it wont affect me, so I'm neither squealing or whining but i do think a massive gamble has been taken which could go either way, however we are not returning to the days of the 70's anytime soon, the past has gone and nobody in history has succeeded in replicating whatever they think the golden age was!

                      • Bet its not Anag thanks for your input at least you try to understand both sides I gave up on Swales about 200 posts ago definitely would not try and explain anything to him Have to agree with Tricky but once the seasons starts I will resume hostilities 😬😬

                        • Thanks for the compliment mr...but I wouldn't 'give up' on Swale. We've had our occasional disagreements but I agree with virtually all he's said on this thread...think he's just a bit more 'riled' and confrontational about it all. I'm not that keen on confrontation but can be a stubborn sod when things really matter. 327 isn't so bad though.

                            Wasn't aware that you tried, but do realise that people just dont get the fact that what they have voted for wont actually have the change they think it will. Still you come back in a few years and tell me I'm wrong no problem!

                            • Voting for brexit doesn't mean that we can't have any immigration, but at least we will have the power to control who we let in. There are many fine people from eastern Europe who have enhanced our country but there are also many rapists, burglars, thieves, etc from all over Europe or nationalised in Europe, who we cannot stop.

                              Yes, we get grants from the eu, but we pay more in than we get out,that is proven. What about these grants, my friend told me that he had a grant of 250k for a machine in his company. Fair enough if it meant jobs and he couldn't get it without the grant, BTW in the last year he's bought himself a Porsche Macan and just moved into a new 500k house, not that his had to sell his old one, which he's now renting out. Oh, the machine's come from Germany.

                              My farmer mate, in order to keep his grant, has had to change his crop rotation into a mindless and inefficient system.

                              Also, a local dual carraigeway was 'improved'with the aid of an eu grant. But the condition was that one lane was turned into a bus lane for 2 half hourly bus services.

                              Friends in the local health and education services complain on the fortunes spent on translators. Many local schools now have a high percentage of pupils that don't speak English, causing problems for our children.

                              Someone please tell me the advantages of stopping in the eu. Excluding trade, because other countries trade with the eu. Excluding their good workers because Europeans work all over the world. Excluding their laws, the good ones which our government can copy after seeing how they work.

                              • Much as I hate sticking up for a red (it is pre-season though), Tricky does have a point on the Coudenhove Kalergi plan. Its something I'd not heard of until I got involved with some public sector wallahs who were auditing my biz prior to some grant award. I won't go into the details because its just an anecdote, but it became clear that there is a devotion to Kalergi, with an almost masonic approach, a sort of 'nod and a wink' club, in some parts of the public sector.

                                Rather than just dismiss his comments as just the rants of a someone with nine months of torture ahead of him, it might be enlightening to do a bit of research on that one. I say that as someone who has no racism in him on a person by person level, but my opinion is that the Kalergi-focussed open door policy of previous UK administrations is what has led to the recent, and growing, anti-immigration backlash which IMO swung the Brexit result
