    Cells - we grew prosperous when immigration was well managed and in the ten's of thousands per year.

    All will be well with modest well managed immigration.



    sure

    as I said the most realistic likely outcome of brexit is

    1: GDP will be roughly 0-3% lower than what it would have been
    2: Retirement age is going to have to go up sooner and to a higher level than it would have other wise have been

    some nonsense about current jobs being undignified service jobs that need to be replaced by a tiger in the west milking cows and making dignified cheese and ice cream is....silly

    Just for those who now say when we voted to leave we didn't vote to leave the single market.

    The architects of the referendum made it very clear.

    I haven't clicked on the vid but I'm gonna guess it's his old lame trick of asking a Brexiteer what EU laws he hates most, and the Brexiteer can't name one, right?

    So lame, many of us southerners hate this biased wally with a passion.

    By implication he means to say that EU laws are of no hinderence to us all as we can't name one we hate, that they are minimal and low impact, on the other hand if he feels EU laws are so insignificant and so benign then WE CLEARLY WONT MISS THEM


    He spent 3 hours ridiculing Brexiteers in the supine sanctimonious way only a liberal elitist can. So many people including myself turn him off much of the time, it's pure propaganda and he embodies all that is naive and pious, a toxic combination

    Sums up ardent and arrogant Remainers that are fact immune and cowed by change who's most imprudent assumption is to assume the SM is of huge significance. The Tories that invented it think it's Shiite

    Yeah. God forbid you should actually know anything about a subject of which you claim to be some layman expert and which is of fundamental importance to your own country.

    For Christ's sake. You people are just total...

    Saying James O'Brien is part of the liberal elite is almost as stupid as the incoherent arguments of the idiot Brexiteer on this clip.

    You really need to learn to form your opinions around the truth, not create the truth to fit your opinions.:rotfl:
