    and yet there all those migrants being welcomed in France, provided with housing, benefits, housing, jobs, schooling, protection etc but all want to come to the UK : how is that possible?:

    how does any civilised country in the EU allow children to be trafficed, exploited in the jungle which is under French sovereignty: any decent person would condemn the French authorities : such neglect would be unthinkable here

    mind you, toxic toastie, will continue to insult his parents, praise the disgusting neglect of vulnerable children by the French authorities, celebrate the homeophobic Polish, Latvian, Lithuanian etc authorities

    and yet all the Europhiles find no words of condemnation of the vile authorities in these countries and find hatred and fault with the ever generuous people of the UK.

    And in the eventuality that the IQ level of any of these pages dare to dream of drifting into double figures, Clapton can be relied upon to contribute it right back down.

    All the migrants, all the benefits, all the europhiles, all machinating against poor Little England.

    It must take work to maintain your level of willful, pointless ignorance. Actual work.

    Fantastic viewing watching the EU desperately trying to conclude an important free trade agreement ~ where freedom of movement is conspicuous by its absence.;)

    So please give me an example of anyone suggesting that Geordies feel unwelcome in Britain? Or Scousers feel they are being asked to leave?

    Very drole.

    But that is not an example of scousers feeling unwelcome in the UK. I doubt most Scoucers give a jot for what people with posh accents think about them.

    so no words to condemn the French neglect of vulnerable exploited children living in France
    no condemnation of the homophobia of authorities in Poland, Baltic states etc
    no comment on why people are risking their lives escaping from the French utopia to your, hate figure, the UK

    no reconciliation with your parent

    just the usual random personal abuse.

    The ignorance of the Hartlepool audience had to be seen to be believed. One person in the audience was blaming the EU rules for the Syrian refugee problem for heaven sake. Others believed that the 52% had spoken and the Government should just leave without any negotiation whatever the consequences. We are in this mess because democracy requires that thick people be allowed a vote. I support their right to do so, but to hear you call the Polish woman stupid in that audience beggars belief.

    the left has some history of condemning opposition as mental subnormal or mentally ill
    sadly little is learned from history although one isn't surprised

    As I understand it, services are our biggest industry so that's a very valid question.

    My impression is that many of those who voted to leave didn't take this into account. They either wanted fewer immigrants, less EU laws or more money for the NHS (for example). Any bi-product of leaving would have simply been seen as unfortunate.

    I'm certainly not suggesting that all Brexiteers thought like this. Many would have thought long and hard about the ramifications but I'm certain that there would have been sufficient numbers voting on one issue to have made the difference.

    could you give us your indepth analaysis of what will happen to our services industry after brexit so we can all learn from you

    I never said anyone mentally ill. Mental illness is not related to intelligence.

    I do not condemn anyone for lacking intelligence. The world would be equally badly afflicted if decisions were limited to the most intelligent voters. I just acknowledge that it is the price we must pay for democracy.

    Every European I know is appalled by Brexit and feels like they aren't welcome. She just said what they all think.

    I'm sorry but as soon as you start apologising for xenophobia you are a xenophobe. And you attained that status very early into this discussion.


    Funny that. I received a number of phone calls after the vote from friends in Greece, Germany and Holland congratulating the UK for having the cojones to vote out.

    If this is the approach of a single small Belgium region. What hope is there for the UK to negotiate a trade deal with the EU......

    Thank you Thrugelmir.

    Maybe the UK should invite her to negotiate the Brexit agreement for us?:)
