    One of the main "exports" of Britain is the quaint, folksy "small rural village" theme to tourists. Suspect less immigration actually helps this, on top of any currency changes.

    There are definitely same elements at play in the rise of Hitler/Nazi, UKIP and Trump.

    History is also decided on the Nazi, the other 2 is waiting to be seen. But history has always has a way to repeat itself as we learnt nothing.

    Only in short term. Just like US was cheap in 2009-2011 after the crash. Then inflation adjusted most prices as there buying power weakens.

    I don't think UK will hold out that long as there trade deficit is huge and EU can really screw them up it they can't keep most of those free trade in place.

    Quote from a friend from the UK

    A Prime Minister resigned. The £ plummeted. The FTSE 100 lost significant ground. But then the £ rallied past February levels, and the FTSE closed on a weekly high: 2.4% up on last Friday, its best performance in 4 months.

    President Obama decided we wouldn't be at the 'back of the queue' after all and that our 'special relationship' was still strong. The French President confirmed the Le Touquet agreement would stay in place. The President of the European Commission stated Brexit negations would be 'orderly' and stressed the UK would continue to be a 'close partner' of the EU. A big bank denied reports it would shift 2,000 staff overseas. The CBI, vehemently anti-Brexit during the referendum campaign, stated British business was resilient and would adapt. Several countries outside the EU stated they wished to begin bi-lateral trade talks with the UK immediately.

    If this was the predicted apocalypse, well, it was a very British one. It was all over by teatime. Not a bad first day of freedom.

    Wait to be seen.

    At best it trigger talks and if in principle, if UK get all the benefit of EU membership and none of the restrains, then other members will do the same and its the end of EU.

    I think EU will do something drastic to prevent the next exit. We will find out what that is in the next 2 years.

    In a world economy that is slow down, this isn't good news at all.

    I feel like being Filipino will get me judged.

    Edit: thought main reason to exit was because of immigration, so clearly minorities are going to be sticking out like sore thumbs.

    they needed an exit. They can't just sit there, and let crazy Merkel's open board policies destroy their country.

    I mean seriously. Their taking in millions of these trash immigrants, which do nothing but leech off the system for the rest of their lives, create fucking no go zone's (ghettos FFS!!!) in their own country! I mean its crazy!!! No go zones!!! seriously. look it up. You can't walk in some area's of your own city cause your at risk of getting attacked by muzzies. Its nutz. Its time for open board leftest fucking policy to get right the fuck out.

    The funny thing is that a lot of people in this thread argue FOR the EU because of HOW things developed over the last 30 years, not WHY they developed that way.

    Its not like 100k bankers jobs are going to disappear overnight, unlike say in Alberta where that many jobs did in a year.

    Hell, Britain could possibly have even MORE lucrative financial terms for businesses operating within. Truth is, you just don't know.

    I'll ask again, for all those that wanted Britain to stay in the EU, would you give the USA defacto control of Canada if it meant a 5% salary bump, no border crossing, and a common currency? Could you imagine if that agreement included Mexico?

    Because I bet you all can understand the incredible cluster-fuck that would be
    when did you become right wing? lol

    I gotta agree allowing mass immigration is a huge mistake. It doesn't allow for cutural integration and long term it alienates your population from their own damn country. Allowing mass immigration from a region with a culture basically from the dark ages is going to set your country back a lot also.

    Left wing hippies are going to be the death of freedom of thinking, expression, religious rights, and the 1st world societies we know now.

    This sounds ominously like the nazis in Germany - when they blamed one segment (usually immigrants or a visible minority) for the country's problem. Sociological problems are not simple, they are very complex with multiple variables contributing to the problem.

    The above quote is just lazy thinking.

    Sounds good. Shoot me a PM when they start hunting minorities, building death camps and trying to take over Europe. Then I'll agree with you that it's like the Nazis.

    maybe his post is a bit extreme, but it's not without some aspects of fact.

    It is true that refugees aren't exactly desirable for a country and provide little benefit to anyone currently living there, so it would be absolutely asinine to expect every single person in a country to cheer letting as many of them in as possible. There is also a definite cycle where refugees move in, and for the most part they are fine, but in 5-15 years when their kids start growing up there is a huge spike in gangs of that minority. There without a doubt will be people who will be murdered, raped, robbed, etc who wouldn't have been had you shut the border. There without a doubt will be integration problems of all types. It doesn't take very much knowledge to understand why that is either.

    Here in alberta we have a crazy ratio of viet and somalian gang members in relation to all other races when compared against the total population of each group in alberta. You know what happened that saw those 2 groups come over right?

    You also have the cultural aspect too that's a problem. There are huge issues in middle eastern culture that have no business being a part of western civilization. Rights we have evolved our nations to have clash with their culture. Views on women, religion, race, humanitarianism, etc are very much at odds between the two basic cultures.

    IMO anyone who doesn't believe in the basic human rights we believe in should be shipped out or denied entry to our country. I'm also not a fan of letting swarms of refugees in no matter who they are; these people are the very people who needed to stay in their country and effect change. not flee it and let the wackos roll in to even more power.

    For somebody who had an Asian girlfriend, a Vietnamese granite expert, and a Black tilesetter, you're surprisingly racist.

    Heres another video of them complaining, and threatening to go back to their country because they don't have a TV, and their sick and tired of the free food, and they don't like their rooms, etc.

    Let me share a true story about my life with you guys.

    I am a refugee... My family immigrated from Czechoslovakia during Communism when I was 5 / 6 years old. My mom and dad risked EVERYTHING, LIFE IN PRISON and orphaning me and my little brother if caught. They left everything in our apartment, so that it wouldn't arise suspicion, and we left in the middle of the night. We took a train from Slovakia, into Hungary where we stayed for 1 and half years in a refugee camp. We never complained, we were so grateful for everything and anything. I remember receiving Christmas boxes from a guy dressed as Santa Clause. I remember thinking wow, Santa Clause remembered to bring me something this year. How grateful I was. I still have the lego set I received that year, I played with everyday for years, and it always brought such great memories. I still have it to this day!

    My dad. Well he worked hard manual labor while we were there, because we were 1) waiting for refugee status to Canada, and 2) you had to pay your own way, so 4 tickets on an airplane, for us that was a ton of money. Meanwhile during the day, I would play with the other kids in the camp. My mom didn't want to learning Hungarian, because it might confuse me when I had to learn to speak English. I started school 2 years later then all the other kids, not knowing a word of English when we finally arrived in Canada. I tried so hard to keep up with all the kids, but I just couldn't. I was picked on and bullied because of this. But we integrated. And my parents work so hard, even to this day. I remember having to take care of my little brother because my parents worked well into the night everyday, no money for a baby sitter.

    Today my parents still work hard. And I am so proud to be a Canadian, and I believe we live in the best country on earth. I've been poor, as poor as you can possibly imagine, believe me, we're talking food banks, 2nd hand clothing from thrift stores, driving cars we bought at pick a part for 400 bucks, I mean poor. But I worked hard out of high school. I remember working 12 hour days, hardcore filthy work most of you wouldn't do. I tried and tried to be the best I could be, because I was jealous. Everyone had such nice things, and I had nothing. So I worked as hard as I could so I could buy these things too. I never forget this today, and this little story is why I believe I'm so successful today.

    But let me get to the point. These so called refugee's..... Their trash. Their garbage. They don't believe in working hard, their here to take, because the REST OF ALL OF US, worked so hard. Their not here to work, their not here to integrate into our society. Their here to take whatever they can, to sit at home, do nothing, smoke, socialize, and cause havoc for the rest of us hard working people. I'm fucking pissed off about it all. I cant even have a rational conversation in a restaurant with my buddy because I start to raise my voice and people start looking at me like I'm crazy. I don't want refugees here. I don't want radical Islam non sense around me. I don't wanna see burkas when I'm walking through the mall. I don't wanna learn to speak Arabic because these people don't bother learning English when their living here. its BULLSHIT. and I'm sick of it.

    For Canada to air lift these people on my dime. btw 75% of these people are YOUNG MEN ages 21 - 32. Able bodied, strong, military aged men, who left their wives, their kids, their families because they wanna come over here for a free ride, rattles me to the core. SHAME ON YOU CANADA!

    I wouldn't give him any business as a multi-generational Canadian either.
