Brexit was a dumb idea, admit it

[Sheppey]

Would you call a race mixed (white woman with a black or arab man) a native british?

I think you failed maths in school mate.

Yeah, you're right... I had gcse exams in June, and I didn't turn up on the 3rd exam, because I caught some terrible bacteria.
And I didn't study so I probably didn't pass

"More Brits than ever say Brexit was wrong choice: YouGov survey" https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/mor...ey-2023-07-17/

The whole thing is an economic disaster that anyone could have seen beside nativist cockney and disingenuous politicians. British business investment has barely grown since mid-2016, in contrast with other advanced economies. While Brexit-supporting economists point to the fact that capital grew strongly in the years leading up 2016 and was bound to slow, business surveys point to Brexit as one cause of the stagnation.

It was all based on lies about foreigners and crime with very little data to back it up. Out with the hard working eastern Europeans, in with the native drug addicts who feel a sense of entitlement and have no work ethic. Nice job UK, you hated Romanians and Polish people so badly that you screwed your own county. Poetic justice if you ask me. That's what you get. They best part will be when Poland has a higher per capita GDP than the UK within the next ten years.

Personally I don't really care about UK but if I was a UK citizen I would probably have voted for Brexit because EU is not a democratic institution.

In Greece I don't support anti-EU parties because they are more incompetent though. I also believe there were secret agents that wanted to cause problems to EU and especially Germany using Greece (and causing problems to Greece too).

We have though Ursula von der Leyen, without being elected being something like a head of State. I believe in Greece no one would have voted for her. At least Juncker was a likeable alcoholic charlatan.

Righteo, mate, you deserve a single malt Scotch on the rocks and a high end cigar :

Only Anglo-Saxon countries can do democracy. The natural state of human society is despotism. If you tally up all the human lives that have ever been lived on this planet under organized systems of government, no more than five per cent were lived under consensual systems. Even to get up to five per cent, you have to include places like ancient Athens and Tudor England, which wouldn’t pass muster as “democratic” by modern standards. In the last couple of centuries, practically all consensual systems have been Anglo-Saxon. Other cultures can fake it for a few decades, as France, Germany, and Japan are currently doing, but their hearts aren’t really in it and they will swoon gratefully into the arms of a fascist dictator when one comes along.--John Derbyshire

^BTW, Switzerland does not count as it is a fake country.

Most normal Brits don't care about Poles and voted to secede, because of legal and illegal immigration coming from outside Europe into Europe and spreading into UK. I get this from a Romanian with British citizenship living in the UK who voted for Brexit and talked about it on some Romanian tv show. He said it was about non-Euro immigration. The media attacks East Euros only though because they are vicious leftist hypocrites.

They voted to leave the European Union to stop immigration and that not only did not happen but increased, the majority of immigrants who go to the UK are from their former colonies.

May the United Kingdom enjoy immigration from its Commonwealth, Anglo-Caribbean countries, India, Pakistan, Anglo-Africa etc.

Hiya, mate, I am sure you have the facts and figures all worked out in your head genius :

I ask you my friend, have you ever been to London, Birmingham, Brighton, Manchester? Have you talked to anyone from those cities? Have you seen the news and videos of the streets of those cities?
