All I can do is laugh. I will laugh at those who voted for this who find that in the near future they're being forced to work longer, for less and with less rights like holiday pay when the Tories come for a trashing of them. I will laugh when their bills for things that were capped under EU law skyrocket. I will laugh if and when it transpires that you need a ****ing visa to visit France. Only then will people realise the mistake they've made.

That said, I am delighted at how engaged so many people were in democracy and politics, it is great to see. Congrats to the Leave side, but your insults about sour grapes and being 'bitter' are completely pointless. Of course I'm ****ing bitter. This is MY future you've just ****ed, and I will bloody well tell you about it

Hope the Scots get another opportunity to get the **** away from Little Englanders and rightly take it this time
Excellent post

I'm not saying all Leave voters by ANY stretch of the means but quite a few seem to have voted out because of pure ignorance and racism.

Yes.You presume right.I do know what xenophobia is.
Good we're making progress.Atleast we've now discounted racism from the reason Britain voted to leave.

So we're all Xenophobic or mostly xenophobic for wanting to have control of how many people we believe that our infrastructure can accommodate?Or for wanting to elect our own leaders?Or make our own laws?Or not give priority to small section of the world who want to come and contribute to our country?

The majority of people in Britain are not racist or xenophobic.That is a minority of people.

Okay we do make our own laws, they just have to pass through the European Court of Law (which btw has absolutely nothing to do with what the EU is about) And if you've read my other posts in this thread you know that I've said it's not Xenophobic to want tighter boarders on Immigration, it's just when people seem to be so venomous about any form of Immigration at all (which a lot of Leavers have been) it does look prejudiced which you've got to admit can look that way from an outside perspective?

And we could've elected our own European representatives in the EU, but instead we voted UKIP who didn't even attend the meetings, so of course we didn't get anything that we wanted.

And who said about giving priority to foreigners? It's just that we need some Immigration to survive in this current climate and Immigration will still happen anyway it will just instead come from backward countries like Saudi Arabia now.

Here you are, having not bothered to vote, and having not the first clue how the legal system works, attempting to school other people on how you think it might work and imagining that's going to reinforce your point.

You should just step away from it now.

Well considering I got it bang on I think that you need to look at what the EU and the European Court of Law is.

Er no....
1.The EU Commissioners(who are appointed.Not elected)make EU laws which are then passed down to the European Parliament(not the European court of law which you speak of).We do not make the laws the unelected Commissioners do.

2.Your "alot of leavers" are venomous about any form of immigration is pure speculation.You have'nt spoken to or even heard the opinions of "alot" of leavers you've only heard from a tiny amount of leavers so have no clue on the opinions of "alot" of leavers and "it does look prejudiced" means nothing."it does look predjudiced" to you.

3.We do have representatives in the EU Parliament who do turn up but only have a tiny voice as they are outnumbered 27-1.We can't get "anything we wanted".

4.If we are not bound by EU law to take unlimited EU immigration then we can pick and choose whoever we want without having to discriminate one part of the world over another.The point is that it is up to us and if we decide that we want more Indian doctors or Polish builders or whatever then that is our decision.
