I could probably go into any thread and say 'well that point of view is irrelevant since you don't care about all these other issues relating to the subject at hand so your opinion is invalid.' It's just a lazy way of trying to shut down someone's opinion without dealing with their argument.

Just as people can choose to leave Europe and oppose mass immigration.

That has nothing to do with what I'm saying but okay? Thank you for stating the obvious, I guess?

It's about freedom of choice and validity of opinion so it's relevant.

Not really since I wasn't arguing against people having the right to say if they want to leave the EU or if they want immigration control?

You're basically just repeating what I've been saying all along...

It's about the principle not the subject matter. Freedom of choice is freedom of choice - it isn't for some to say they should be able to choose this but others should not be able to choose that.

Why are you basically repeating at me what I've been saying the entire thread?
