    The people who don't see that there is a problem with immigration are the rich folk who live in nice areas, take a walk down erdington high street and tell me how it feels when you don't hear a single person speaking English, when you can't go into a shop and buy English branded items, when the immigrants don't make any attempt to integrate with the community and purposely segregate themselves from the English.

    Some may say it's racist but I am English, I want to feel like I am living in England.

    Coming out of the EU may not have a massive affect but it sure as he'll can't be any worse for my local area than being in it

    Its not racist to want your national identity.

    Not racist at all. And people who say it is are proper cunts in my opinion.

    My brother works in building industry and now struggles to compete with the poles etc who can seriously undercut with their quotes.

    Good for consumers as its not as if they do a bad job but for our tradesmen....

    Another life experience fact that the vote in brigade fail to see or simply don't want to accept.
    But they lost so who cares about them.

    If your Brother is getting "seriously" undercut by the Poles etc. and they , as you stated do a decent job, then perhaps your Brother is quoting too high, no?

    Okay, so people voted on the basis of immigration and wanting to stop the free movement of people - but why base a vote on that when even the leaders of the Brexit campaign are admitting that the vote to leave will have no impact on this particular aspect? I just wish those fucking Anglo-Saxons would fuck off where they came from and give me my country back. I just want to feel like I'm a Celtic Briton without this ridiculous influx of foreigners.

    They are already winding in the promises of 350 million extra per week for the NHS.

    What annoys me is that so much of the vote was based on issues that will not be affected by the decision to leave the EU. And now we'll all have to work harder and longer to maintain the same standard of living, or accept that it is going to deteriorate.

    And no, I feel strongly about it, and feel that misinformation and a lack of fact checking and challenging false statements from the remain campaign is what led to so many people voting to leave.

    So I will not get over it, at least not for a few days.

    Hard working, excellent tradesmen, who offer exceptional work at prices that can't be beat are getting jobs rather than your boozing, whoring, gambling, white, english speaking, cornish pasty eating, lager swilling neighbours and relatives huh?

    Sounds like healthy capitalist competition.

    Naw... Just deport them all!

    Sounds like a lot of reverse-racism and self loathing going on in that post! Damn!

    I have no problem with giving Wales independence if you want it Rhun , same goes for Scotland etc. I think that's what national identity is all about.

    As much as it disappoints me, I don't think Wales will ever vote for independence. Scotland however is a realistic proposition - and if they go and take the oil in their territorial waters with them, long term the price of fuel is going to increase further along with the reduction in the value of the pound. Did you see Frankie Boyle's tweet that this might indirectly reduce immigration, by devaluing the pound significantly, making it less attractive as a place to immigrate to!

    Why is anything going to deteriorate? Hasn't that already happened in recent years? Being a part of the EU has nothing to do with that. It's about self determination at the end of the day. Why people have such a thing for something that looks like the former Soviet Union is baffling. The short term effect on markets is what it is, but unless you are invested in stocks and shares or have a vested interest in exchange rates, then it shouldn't matter too much. I happen to like the exchange rate myself. Britain has a trade deficit with the EU, so they have more to lose. The globe is a much more positive place for the Brits to trade with as Europeans are broke and the UK does much better there.

    The problem the UK has is its voting system. In direct democracy you hear the will of the people. In a system of seats, the system is much more easily rigged in favor of the 3 main parties who are laughing at people really. If nothing changes it is because those parties are not willing to listen. Already the Tories are stalling on leaving the EU and it will take years to set it in motion. Then Labour is off its rocker saying it's Corbyn's fault that the core doesn't like Blairism. All Labour really needs to do is listen and admit a few errors. In the 1980's Labour was against the EU. That Labour would do well today.

    Basically I don't see what you are complaining about Rhun as nothing has changed except for the markets wetting the bed a little bit. There are plenty of things people can do to hedge against that, so I have little sympathy there.
