  1. Obviously, non-UK citizens weren't given a vote in the referendum. Because they're not UK citizens. In much the same way as the rest of the UK weren't given a vote on the break up of the country during the Scottish referendum. As for these peoples future in the UK, that very much depends on how willing the EU is to offer a good deal. And when will the BBC be highlighting the fate of UK citizens in Europe? Has Brussels promised any unreciprocated guarantees on their right to remain in the EU? Idk. Because the BBC and the rest of the media have no interest in asking.

  2. They should be complaining to their MEP's.

  3. This is down to the EU's refusal to guarantee UK citizen's in Europe the right to remain there. If they did, that might take the issue off the table.

  4. Matthew Fyson. Having seen the type of filth Corbyn supports, it's clear the left are a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites. Fuck off.

  5. Corbyn has helped raise funds for Palestine. He has also called for his friends in Hamas to be taken off the list of terrorist groups.

  6. But Palestine elected a terrorist organisation into power. Do you know anything about Corbyn at all?

  7. qpae123 I have no idea what you are talking about. The UK held a referendum. And the result was to leave the EU. Whether other countries decide to follow or not makes no difference. And yes, I think the EU is entirely to blame. No one in the UK ever voted to join a political union with Europe. If they had given Cameron something, anything the result might have been different. I certainly don't want to see an end to the EU. But how Brussels acts now depends on what sort of relationship they will have with the UK in the future. Its not in their interests to make an enemy. But if they do, there will be a price. As it will effect European security as a whole at a time when the US seems to be losing interest in NATO.

  8. qpae123 If the EU treats the UK as an enemy, the question might be asked, why is the UK spending vast sums of money helping to secure Europe's borders in the east?

  9. Trump has condemned European leaders for sponging off the US taxpayer when it comes to their own defence. And there has been concern that he has little interest in NATO. As for why the UK defends Europe's borders, it comes down to collective security. Making an enemy of the UK will only damage that. And mainland Europe is nearer to Russia than the UK is.

  10. You can't force people into a political union they don't want. Now Europe has to decide. Do they want good relations with the UK? Or do they want the opposite?

  11. The anti-Trump rhetoric comes from the left. The same left that has a big problem with the EU 'provoking' Russia.

  12. Can't put a price on democratic sovereignty

  13. Oh, yeah. The whole 'he wants peace' thing again. Heard that before. Will he be making friends with ISIS any time soon?

  14. That only goes to show how complicated foreign aid and relations are. But if we were to stop aid and trade with all countries that have sympathisers to jihadists, we would cut links to all Islamic countries worldwide.

  15. qpae123 There is nothing stopping the EU guarantying UK citizens the right to stay in Europe. If that were done, then the UK would be able to make a similar guarantee to EU citizens in the UK. But the EU wants to play hardball. It has refused to say anything until talks officially begin. These people are as much victims of the EU's arrogance more than anything. That is why they should write and complain to their MEP's or to their own governments.

  16. qpae123 The UK can trade with the EU without a trade deal just as easily as it presently trades with the US without a trade deal (the UK's biggest single trading partner). Either way, none of that changes the fact that these people should be complaining to Brussels.

  17. And in return, Poland and Rumania get the security of NATO. Exactly as I have said. Collective security. But leaving the EU has nothing to do with being 'manipulated'. And all to do with not wanting to be part of a political union. You can either accept that. Or you can carry on acting like a spoilt child about it and piss everyone off.

  18. If there is no problem, then why the demand for political union in return for trade? And please, the UK takes in 300,000 immigrants a year. While eastern Europe itself plays the anti-immigrant card as much, if not more.

  19. That is down to the EU. Had they stuck to the original trade deal the UK voted to join back in 1973, rather than pushing ahead with a political union, none of this would have been necessary.

  20. Non UK citizens shouldn't be voting on either. That is my point.

  21. Homophobic sexists? Get a grip. Corbyn doesn't just support people who don't like abortion or who are against gay marriage (something the catholic church are also dead against). He supports people who throw gays off buildings!

  22. You do know that Saudi Arabia have also been bombed by ISIS, don't you? I mean, if there are sympathies in Saudi for the jihadist cause, the same would be the case for Pakistan, right? In fact, the same could be said for Muslims in general, couldn't it? Would Corbyn stop funding Pakistan? Would he stop funding Palestine?

  23. Would he do a Trump and stop Muslim immigration?
