Prior to the referendum one could see that there was no reasoning with the swivel-eyed-loon extreme brexiters, they were so biased in their weird anti-EU outlook one could never have a sensible discussion with them.
Since then this has switched to the swivel-eyed-loon extreme remainer.

It is you who wants to bring economic and class segregation into our cities.
Swivel eyed would be a mild description.


...all while being a member of the European Union. 'Remain' could have done with your input during the Referendum campaign.

They took advantage of what the UK could offer.

If Britain were demonstrably "enslaved", you might actually have a point. But it's not, and therefore, you don't. And that's precisely why the whole premise is increasingly considered dubious.
One by one, Brexit’s ‘salvations’ are seen to be illusory
The Brexiteers fear they are losing the argument
As the costs of EU withdrawal become clear, the Leavers are desperately searching for scapegoats.

The Brexiteers (I like that, just like the heroic Musketeers) are losing the argument, really? Seems everyone outside the EU is falling over themselves to do a trade deal with us and that's the real future. This is a messy but necessary divorce and the EU are fighting for their very existence, if another leaves. The UK are threatening to derail their nice little gravy train, so what do you expect but a little mischief?
This is not a cliff edge it is a few waves crashing on the shores as we set sail into the big wide world. Rule Britannia!
So we should leave you scaredy-cats shivering on the beaches of Dunkirk, or Porto, or Berlin.

Britain did not allow this particular post-grad. exam during their time in India, and in 1960 it was not yet fully up and running there.
OH had no intention of staying, was offered a job, took it because he liked the countryside in UK ---would have made far more money in India. Then went back!!
Our personal history is irelevant, but at least EMR I think I know it better than you!!

"Slave", definition:- "A person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them". Sounds like the UK to me with all the orders now coming from Brussels and now Berlin. In fact it is worse than slavery, slaves don't get paid, we are actually paying £10,000,000 a day for the privilege.

I have news for you; it was all just political rhetoric. It wasn't true. That's why it's all in question now.

Once again you ignore anything that contradicts facts.


It's not "my" analogy, and the old premise suggesting Britain is somehow "shackled" is false. Britain has always done whatever it wants.
Except of course, where it aspires to violate the obligations it previously agreed to, but then, it will need to give up the benefits of those agreements. It can't have both.
The irony of course, is that what it agreed to is actually a good thing, and aside from ideological arguments, it's almost impossible to demonstrate tangible downside.
Yet there's significant quantifiable downside to giving it all up for solely ideological reasons, which is why it's all in question now.

This isn't the school playground. Nor is it the Spanish inquisition . It's serious stuff that requires constant and informed scrutiny. Thus far we have had little of that from our illustrious leaders.
As more is revealed about what we can and can't do,what is viable,and what is merely historical rhetoric. What is fact and what is biased fiction.
I for one hope that our country can move out of this embarrassing, mud slinging,mess, and make some actual progress . One where we can once again hold our heads up high because we have delivered a 'tangible' (not fictionally ) better future for our citizens and trading partners.

100%, I am an entrepreneur, have had my own business since 1985, have lived in 6 countries and been around this big wide world, as well as nearly all of fortress Europe. On business, expeditions and as a tourist.
I have seen how the British do business, compared with other countries, our levels of innovation, invention and confidence and how many counties also have faith in us.
I have no fears at all, this is another great challenge and once again Britain is up for it, with or without you remoaners.

The British in India had rules about various Post Grad. exams some could only be done in the UK (I presume to make use of the 'best brains' from there.) Otherwise he would never have come to the UK.
Our main home has always been in India. I am the 'migrant'.
