  1. True and anyone that it's more or less labaling them all as the same which we should never do, but then racist people are like that, simply minds that look in terms of black and white and not shades of gray.

  2. To me a lot of this problem is been created by some political groupes and the right wing media, every since 9/11, they are pushing hard to label some as the enermy, from terrorist to migrants to immagration, they keep using scapegoats to scare the public and it's a big part of why we are in such a mess we are now. To me, migrants and immagration is not a problem if managed right but it was clear that the UK wanted cheap labour and more or less opened the flood gates for anyone to enter, we saw this when the eastern EU members joined the EU and the UK was the first to open it's doors, we've seen this with the UK not wanted to use any of the powers we have in the EU to limit people coming in on things like if they don't find work after 3 months, then there is also the factor of immagrations coming in from outside the EU which the UK goverment have always had full control over yet thoes numbers have always been sky high. The real problem is national goverments not the EU. As for the EU, I do feel it needs some reforms and changes, more so for the Eurozone, we are very likely going to see some big changese over the next 10 years but I do feel members in the EU really need to stop using the EU as a scape goat for all the things that are wrong in a country which most of whats wrong are wrong because of national policies then it is the EU but as we know, it's easy to deflect blame for ones own mess, the UK does this a lot over the last few decades, Italy is doing it and so are some of the eastern EU members now.

  3. How is it a game, remember that you voted for the UK to take back control and now you are complaining that our own system is doing things you don't like, I mean really, you need to get a grip. Lets look at it for what it is, over the last two years, the hardliners have tried to sidelive and threaten the courts, the lords, the commons and want to bypass the public by not allowing them another say on the exit terms, the leavers have used a lot of threats to anyone that tries to get in the way of Brexit, this isn't democrarcy when you have to threaten to get your way, it's also part of the reason why the leave side is losing Brexit because they are being exposed for what they really are, fanatics.

  4. I'm all for that and I'm pro EU who thinks we should stay, think on that for a second. What I mean by all that, hard Brexit might be the best thing that could happen because it only works for the hardliners if they can deliver a successful Brexit that doesn't hurt the UK and people, it's clear they've lied a lot to get the vote and can't deliver on almost everything they said, so think for a second, what do you think will happen if Brexit goes wrong, we very likely will rejoin the EU much sooner then the leavers would want and that would be signing up to everything, the leavers have really set themselfs up here and don't even realise it yet.

  5. Hopefully? lol, is that all you've got, hope, unicorns, cake?, what about facts?, people like you have thought the EU would collapse decades ago and yet here it still is. The reason the leave side are losing this debate is because they don't deal with facts, almost everything is hope things turn out this way but with no real plan on how Brexit is going to work out. Two years in and the leave side still can't show us a plan that works for the UK without harming our intrest which is quite shocking really, it's also the reason why the remainers are slowly chipping away at Brexit and pushing the UK to a very soft Brexit.

  6. We don't really know what the will of the people really is, but say what you want about the remainers, at least they are willing to give the publc another say on Brexit, can you say the same?, in any case, it's really sad that the only arguement leavers seem to have left is will of the people, things must be really getting bad for them if they can't argue the merits of why Brexit would be good for the UK and people.

  7. Well Nigal Farage said he would fight for another vote if the leave side lost so it's only fair, beside, whats it really matter, if the British people truly want to leave as some like to think, having another vote or even 100 wont change that, in fact it would comfirm it which would mean the remain side wouldn't have a leg to stand on after that, but the truth is, a lot of us sense that the British people either don't want to leave the EU now or want a very soft Brexit after all the lies from the leave side have been exposed and Brexit is far more clear to us as being a lose and not a gain for us. Beside, as Davis said once, a democracry that can't change it's mind isn't a democracry anymore, this coming from the leavers camp, Brexit can always been turned around or softern if the people want it to be, the question is what are the British people thinking on Brexit after everything we know now. Either way, none of this would be a problem if the vote wasn't so close, it being close also meant it could go either way with margin of errors swinging both ways by about 5%, in other words, the vote wasn't clear enough. As for the EU flag waving, can't really blame them, I know I'm a Brit and all that but after seeing everything I've seen off our own goverment over the last two years, I have more faith in the EU doing right by us then our own goverment, shocking I can say that but I mean really, look at our own goverment over the last two years, I wouldn't trust them on anything to do right by the British people, so yes I can understand the EU flag waving, this isn't about being unpatriotic but it's about doing the right thing. The leave side on the other hand are doing the wrong thing, they won the vote by a small marging based on countless lies and then they start to change the arguement from everyone voting to leave the single market and custom union when many leavers thought we would stay in one or both of them, then we have the leavers that are trying to sideline the courts, lords, commons and even the public now simply because they are saying things the leavers don't want to hear, I thought Brexit was about taking back control? it doesn't look like it to me with how our entire political system is trying to be sidelined by a handful of ministers, so where is the democrarcy in all that?, there is only one way to solve this mess and thats another vote.

  8. Either way, the leavers are losing this one because they had to lie so much to win the vote in the first place that now they can't deliver on any of the promises they made, hence why the leave side won the battle but are losing the war.

  9. Well the leave side have tried to sideline the democratic process with Brexit, they seem to want to bypass the courts, the lords, the commons and even the public, I thought Brexit was about bringing control back home?, now that the hardliners don't like whats being said, they want to sideline all that process and force the issue. As for will of the people, that doesn't wash anymore, a lot of lies ware told to win the vote, most of which have been proven to be lies over the last two years, Brexit has brought the EU and Brexit into the spot light and it's looking like less people either want to leave the EU or want a really soft Brexit, in any case, this have done the UK a world of good because now more people see the EU in a better light and not in the light the euroseptics wanted us to think. As for how we joined the EEC, can't really comment on that but I do remember the UK thinking it was a economic only union at the time when it was anything but that, the EU, EEC at the time was always a political and economic union well before the UK joined, also, the UK was the sick man of Europe at the time, that was the real reason why we joined and being in the EU made us one of the richest countries in the world, in fact the EU's got a really good record for helping to develop members that join. As for the remainers, it's clear what they voted for, to remain in the EU and reform it from the inside, that wasn't really hard to see, the leavers on the other hand didn't seem to have a plan with Brexit, in fact they seemed supprised they won the vote which is telling because if you think you wont win it, you can tell any lie you want knowing you don't have to deliver on them, in this case they did win and can't deliver on what they promised the British people, thats whats really got them, thats whats really turning Brexit around, they promised the earth but are delivering little to nothing of what they promised us, hence why Brexit is slowly being reversed or going into a soft Brexit. The moral of this story is this, if you are going to lie to try and win, you best make sure you can back up whats being said, the leave side won the battle but are losing the war because of not being able to deliver and that is a problem of there own making, but lets be honest, if they didn't lie so much, the remain side likely would of won the vote, so they ware screwed either way, the reality is, what the leave side want and whats reality are very diffrent things and this is why Brexit isn't going the way they want it.

  10. That wont happen, reforming the lords might but not abolition it, beside, that wont achive what you really want, it fact it might make it worse in many ways.

  11. Who knows but ablition the lords would only mean the UK will have one less check and balance in the system, we are already losing one by leaving the EU because the EU and members act as a check and balance on each other, get rid of both in the UK and we are playing a risky game that can lead to things we don't want and this goverment is always showing signs that they don't really care about doing it through the proper process, it's a slippery slope that can hurt us in ways we can't see at the moment and this isn't just about Brexit, this is about the UK overall.

  12. I've been advocating reforms of the Lords for the last two decades that it should be a directly elected upper chamber thats a check and balance on the goverment and commons but that doesn't mean because some don't like what they are doing with Brexit that the Lords should be dismissed. Either way, an elected Lords would make things worse for May because if you see the actions of the Tories, they are trying to bypass everything from the courts system to the lords, the commons and even the public, in other words, it would weaken the goverment and clearly they don't want that, they would rather scrap the Lords because they the commons is the only real thing they have to contend with then. In any case, I really get the impression with Brexit going nowhere fast, the only way this problem is going to get solved is for the public to have the final say on the exit terms with Brexit, either they will comfirm they want to leave which then the remain side wont have a leg to stand on or that the public have changed it's mind on leaving the EU because of all the lies that have been said and broken promises of what Brexit was suppose to be.

  13. In any case, even if we got rid of the lords, do you honestly think that will change anything with Brexit?, it likely wont, in fact it might make it worse because the goverment would likely feel they've won and get tougher on the commons, forcing them to get a lot togher on the goverment. Sooner or later we will learn that Brexit isn't going the way the leavers want because they promised us so much that they can't deliver on it, that is where the real problem is, all the rest is the hardliners just making up exuses and deflecting blame for the mess they've created. Either way, another poll is out and support for the EU is growing as well as support for another vote of if we should stay in the EU or not, it's not looking good for the leavers at the moment and as the clock ticks down, expect the hardliners to get more desprate which in turn will likely gain more support for staying in the EU or a very soft Brexit. As for the lord, I suspect we will see reforms of it so it's directed elected and then we have two directly elected chambers, getting rid of it would weaken UK democrocry at a time that it's being weaken with leaving the EU, yes, being in the EU works as a check and balance on the EU and it's members.

  14. Reforming it would be better, if anything, what we've seen with Brexit is showing why we need to keep a second chamber as a check and balance on the other one and on goverment, it's also another reason why being in the EU is great, that works out as a check and balanced on it's members whereas the members are a check on the EU, some of us in the EU don't realise how lucky we are because of that, it's gived us some of the best workers right, human rights, eviromental rights in the world among other things, the Tories would love to rip all that apart. As for the UK leaveing the EU, it doesn't change much in laws, one thing I've learned is how global laws, rules and regulations work and it's the big players that make them like the EU and US, the smaller ones have to abide them just to have good trade terms and other stuff with the big players, it's even got a name called the Brussles effect which means even with the UK outside the EU, we are still likely going to have to abide most of it's rules, laws and regulations just to have frew flowing trade with them and that is the case with the US but they will demand we weaken our workers rights and other stuff like that. In any case, a reality check is really going to kick in once we are out and then we will see the EU was never the problem in the first place.

  15. If you say so but facts are fact, you can look them up for yourself, I'm sure you'll enjoy reading up on that as it's a real eye openner :) What makes me laugh about people like you is how little you really know about the EU, it's so funny if not deluded, for one, each EU member have a veto on a lot of policies, two, pretty much everything the EU Commission perposes needs to get the backing of the European Parliment which is directly elected by the people and three, if enough members block something, it wont happen, you really need to research things up before talking. As for the Lords, the only reason you don't like the Lords and many others like you is because it's saying things that you don't want to hear, if it was saying what you wanted to hear, people like you would be giving it praise and all that and thats what it really boils down too, people like you don't like anything saying negative things about Brexit, we've seen that from the courts, the lords, the commons, even some people in goverment that are fighting Brexit and lets not forget the people, last thing you want is for them to have another vote because of fear they might change there minds, then you'll end up naming them enermy of the country or something like that lol. How low are people like you going to go with Brexit? because it's really sad to see how you talk about taking back control but only if they say what you want to hear, the moment they say what you don't want to hear, you end up throwing a hissy fit and throwing threats around, it's why the leave side are losing this debate because they've ran out of excuses but by all means keep it going :)

  16. What kind of logic is that, oh you're a leaver, enough said :)
