Yes - I remember.
A very small and selective bunch, not at all representative of the large number of people in similar situations. Much like the heralded "equal ops immigration policy" I reckon ;) Yes I do believe strongly in an equal ops immigration policy and very much hope it comes to pass. :cool: |

Just one example of the present govts failings.

So your worries on that score are over. You will continue to have immigrants from none EU countries of course.but then that's going to be your problem . There's a sort of tendency to think only in terms of people flooding in in the UK .. They flood out as well. I predict they will leave in droves .Leaving all those services vitally needed for the running and survival of any decent country..bereft. |

re: Post EU Referendum
I think anyone who fears what's going on in the world should watch this.
It's a Fareed Zakaria special which focuses on the origins and reasons for Jihadism in the Muslim world. It's quite eye-opening. I bring this up in this thread, not only because people really should have the benefit of the realities illustrated here, but because there are some eerie similarities to the Brexit narratives, The global rise of the far-right, and the growth of Islamic extremism It's not all that long, and it's worth taking a look at, but if you're going to watch it, watch all of it, because the end is very telling, and requires the benefit of the rest of it to achieve the full understanding of the problem. Why they hate us |
re: Post EU Referendum
Nothing has done more to further the cause of the far right than the EU and its policies.
You only have to look at the recent rise of an effective far right party in Germany to see that or alternatively their not so friendly neighbours Austria who came within a whisker of electing a far right president and may yet do so. Similar trends throughout the EU caused by Merkels open door immigration policy and threats to the democratic self rule of other countries. The EU on its present course is a clear recipe for disaster.:cool: |

You actually can thank Cameron for that, and of course, the success of the Brexit referendum... We shall see. In any case, the EU is far from the collapse you naively wish for. You got your brexit wish, now go away and let Europe move on to damage control. Because if Britain farks this up, the consequences will absolutely, positively take Britain down with everybody else. |

Let's just say I do not share your negative opinions, just the opposite in fact.
The World is now our oyster or at least it will be once the shackles have been removed. :cool: LONDON — For centuries, this modest little island in the North Sea has punched well above its weight on the international stage: It built a global empire, beat back the Nazi tide and stood shoulder to shoulder with the United States during a decades-long standoff with the Soviets. But now that Britain has stunned the world with its decision to exit the European Union, experts say it will be focused inward for the foreseeable future. ... “[Britain's] voice will no longer be there when withdrawal is complete,” Gordon said. Instead, Britain will be preoccupied with its “great domestic convulsion.” |

"You will continue to have immigrants from non-EU countries of course". I think the Remainers on this Forum are beginning to show their true colours. The majority of 'talented' immigrants in NHS, academia, politics, law, architecture, entertainment etc.etc, are of non-EU origin. |

It is clear that what was meant was that the UK has become a less attractive place all round for those individuals from overseas - as in non home grown - who may have thought to live and work in the UK or are already living and working in the UK. |

I have posted a link to a select committee Q&A on another thread like this one. It really is worth a listen and one I feel you would be interested in. Rather ironic, when today we will be discussing the Chilcot Report. |

You have a chip the size of the sub continent (and sorry if that description offends you as well it's a known Geographic term) Nowhere did I mention any particular race,ethnicity etc in my term 'Not attractive to talented immigrants' .YOU simple joined the dots to suit your own biased opinion. Please stop looking to be offended |

Rather ironic, when today we will be discussing the Chilcot Report. And if you count up the sum of those parts alone, and compare it to the rest of G7 for example, Britain's future footprint starts to look pretty questionable. And besides, Britain will be preoccupied with it's domestic agenda and it's detanglement from Europe for the foreseeable future. |
