OT: Britain possibly leaving the EU

[Shamoan]

It looks like it's going to be a close vote. **** could get really weird for a short while if the leave. What's gonna happen?

Possible outbreak of sanity.The country that gave us the Magna Carta does not need to cede sovereignty to Euroweenies in Brussels.

 

[Will James]

Great news if they do.

It's like Y2K and Banking Crisis 2008 - the repercussions (scare tactics) are greatly exaggerated.

Haha. They aren't leaving. There is a reason their stock market and the German market are surging today. I would have liked a heads up on the pound plummet though. Easy money if I knew people were gonna panic for no reason.

Right now they are being overrun by people who come from other countries, then squat and demand a bunch of free stuff to live on. If Britain doesn't "Leave" it will only get worse. Those who work and produce will be outnumbered by the drones, and those who love them. As a PS, their judicial system is even more twisted than ours. They can't expel felons from other countries as that would violate their human rights.

Of course Britain needs to leave. But it benefits everyone, including the U.S., if they stay. The only country it helps if they leave is Great Britain.

If they vote to leave we're gonna see the stock market take a huge dive, I wouldn't be surprised to see a 5-10% sell off. But they gotta do what they think they gotta do.

Fantastic example of the 'heard mentality' Even 'if' they vote to exit, there is a two year negotiation period and the first time they will be really 'out' is end of June 2018.

Oh, you mean not as bad as the market sell-off from New Year's Day 2016 until Jan. 20? Hope they don't make any rash decisions.

His Schtick works on world financial markets too!!!!

Buy on the rumor, sell on the news. Giving financial advice but couldn't see that people were going to panic (overreact)?

I am so totally frustrated with the way our country is not handling illegal immigration, that any sign, from anywhere, from any country, that somebody is equally concerned would help my feelings. Even if it didn't mean anything concrete. Right now the philosophy of our government is that mass immigration is a good thing and federal laws be damned. Maybe if another country demonstrates that it wants to protect its borders and the producers of goods and services, it will be a positive example for our illustrious leaders. And our citizenry. We are circling the economic drain ($20 trillion in debt) and we need to turn things around and I would like a good example from Great Britain. As I said, even it it would not be a direct connection.

If they leave, they will still have to effectively play by the EU’s rules to trade with EU countries.
If they leave, they will still have immigration. The only hurt themselves by restricting the free flow of capital and talent.

The group heading this campaign to leave is racist and xenophobic. Giving the group these labels is completely accurate as their actions and worse are overly well documented.

Leave or don’t leave- just don’t have it based on scared xenophobes. Nothing good comes from scared xenophobes in power.

Mass Islamic unassimilated immigration is not good. That isn't xenophobia it's a fact.

The gays and women you leftists promote are destroyed under these cultures.

Switzerland is such an awful place not being in the EU***

I can see that "xenophobes" is your new word for today. If, in fact, these immigrants were needed to fill vacancies in the labor force there would not be much opposition. However I doubt that they bring skills that are not already available. It is not xenophobia or racism to not want more non-workers adding to the welfare pool.

I think people are realizing that GDP is not the end all be all of a country.

Borders, Languge, Culture. The ones who benefit from mass unassimilated migration so they can keep wages suppressed live far away from the AMERICANS who are affected.

The people are taking political power back from the corporate overlords that dominate both parties. Trump and Bernie, but mostly Trump. Bernies people are idiots

An irrational fear or dislike of people from another country is the definition of xenophobia. If you have listened to the sponsors of this movement, you would see that they have a dislike of people from other countries simply for being from other countries. There really isnt anything to debate in terms of my comment as their words(and actions based on said words) fit the definition to a T.

I dont promote 'gays and women'. I dont even know what that means. Seriously, do conservatives not promote women(whatever that means)? If they dont, well then thats pretty 17d up since 1- women are hot and 2- women make up a large % of the conservative base.
All seriousness, i dont know what promoting gays and women means. What am I encouraging gays and women to do or be?



Have you followed this issue much...or at all? Have you read and listened to those pushing for a BREXIT? Even close minded bags like you should be able to recognize the motivation behind such an effort.

What is irrational about not wanting mass immigration from the Middle East or other third world **** holes? We're a nation, not a charity.

If a word so aptly describes something, it should be used. If you have read and heard the supporters of BREXIT, then you would understand why it is such a perfect term to use.
The rest of your post is an ignorant assumption. You have no idea if there is a need or not. You just guess that there is no benefit.

I find it hilarious to talk BREXIT with most people as very few even know the difference between Britain, UK, and England. <---- I am not accusing you of not knowing the difference. This is just an observation I have made over the last 4ish months of BREXIT talks.

Nigel Farage is an idiot and much of what UKIP stands for clearly lines up with what I said.


The funniest part of all of this is that it isnt projected to save them any $ by exiting. The claim that the EU is taking gobs of money from them that they dont see in return is patently false. If they exit, they wont have the payments to the EU to make, but they also will have higher costs associated with the transfer of goods.

Are we no longer talking about BREXIT, or did you suddenly move to Ashton-under-Lyne England?
