Hay I didnt say ringled.


You namedropped me in your post blaming certain people, which was pretty funny regardless

I couldn't care less who moderates this site these days; though I did send Sammie a PM congratulating them when they were modded because I actually get on reasonably well with her now.

I trie- what? I didn't even take a stance til day two, and then I just went along with the flow for laughs. The only person I really criticised was Cody for his hilarious logic fail.

Though if you think I remotely ringlead that then your logic fail is even funnier than Cody's ;)

Anyway, if you're using defense of British culture as a basis for cockblocking migrants, well, that's a pretty bad argument to make, it's not worth protecting.

The Republic is the solution to the problems of 1022BBY(1022 years before the Battle of Yavin for those of you not familiar with Galactic History.) The First Order is the solution to the problems of 34 ABY.

This is why the immigration "problem" is actually the crappest reason to vote Out, and it won't be solved by voting Out anyway. I'm voting Out for far better and yet far less publicly recognised issues, like the travesty that is TTIP, the fact that European solidarity is dead in the water after Germany pressured the ECB to shaft Greece because it was in Germany's national interests, because the bureaucracy at the EU is so idiotic that it moves it capital every 6 months between Brussels & Strasbourg (despite this costing hundreds of millions of pounds) and the French veto every attempt to end this - again, because it's in French national interests. And because at the end of the day, the European Union is a 20th century solution to the problems of the 20th century. Europe is not the centre of the world anymore, and we're in the 21st century now.

We need house construction on a level not seen since the post-war years because this housing crisis has festered and got worse for the past 20 years now. And the only party that offers anything like that is Labour. It's never going to be a Tory policy due to their privatisation fixation and the fact that their voters like it when house prices continually rise; despite the fact that those house prices are rising because Supply has been pathetic for so long - all Tory policies in this area have continually pretended it's due to lack of Demand.


At the end of the day though - the muslim ghetto problems are not really relevant when it comes to the EU question; because less than 5% of migrants from the EU are muslims. The only four predominantly muslim countries in Europe (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Albania, and Turkey) are not in the EU, and it's highly unlikely they will be any time in the next two decades. EU migrants have not formed these subcultures - the French and the Polish make up the two largest groups and they haven't formed any such ghettos; being "model migrants" as it were. And if all the Brits who live elsewhere in the EU are taken into account; net migration from the EU into Britain is actually a drop in the ocean compared to non-EU migration.

London is actually the sixth biggest French city during French elections because of its French ex-pat community.
