If we vote for Brexit what happens

We already export work to all corners of the globe, and have been doing so in large measure for decades.
So what's the difference?
Are you saying it's okay to send work out to tens of thousands of Indian IT workers in Mombai, but not to bring them here?
Why should I have to pay European prices for labour which you can get cheaper elsewhere? Is that not what this much vaunted globalization is all about?
I did not comment on exports at all. I was just making a tongue in cheek comment on what those wanting to leave the EU expect, namely control over EU immigration even though we do not control non-EU immigration.Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.0 -

why not give your own view
do you favour discriminating in favour of the people of predominately white christian european countries and against those of the rest of the world or do you agree with me that this is wrong, xenophobic and racist?0 -

My side of the country has completely unlimited immigration from everywhere.
Your side of the country has you, Conrad, Graham Devon, and all the other UKIPs.
Enjoy.0 -

Ok so you vote for unlimited immigration which you know will do huge harm to the people of the UK.
Of course, you spend a large number of your posts displaying hatred and anger towards most of the people of the UK, so I guess your wish to do harm to all of the people of the UK comes as no surprise.0 -

Oooo you're so Saintly and superior, I bow to thee. You'd be the first bemoaning soaring house prices and no amount of building would help as foreiners would be attracted to the shiny new resources being built in Britain.
You're whole view is built on underlining your Saintly qualities in order to assuage your ego, it doesn't give a fig for practical real world pressures caused by unlimited immigration
Your sanctimonious persona is charlatan thin. You don't give a stuff about the third world being denuded of critical medical skills, just so long as your greedy over entitled ilk get to hoard even more Human resources
Your view promotes global warming, as it cheer leads mass immigration that turns low impact developing world citizens into high impact western consumers
You care not for British wildlife and ecosystems, as long as you get extra African nurses to wipe your smelly @@ss in retirement. Who cares about the more, neglected abused children left behind in Africa, not your kin
Self centred greed and puerile virtue signalling
You can keep calling me a racist and little Englander all you like, but I'm honest about who I am and the effects mass immigration has on the third world and the UK
I want Canadian style well managed migration (but according to UK needs). Trust shallow virtue signalling fools to try and score points and make themselves appear like some sort of Apostle on Earth. What a bunch of infantiles0 -

Well there is a school of thought Clapton, that says if people come here completely legally, abide by the laws, pay their taxes and say please and thank you, then they are a citizen of the UK.
I understand that contradicts somewhat UKIP's version of what a citizen of the UK looks like.0 -

Unlimited migration to the UK would do huge harm to the people already living in the UK.
With your well known and unashamed hatred of the boomers, the tories, the new labiour, 'leavers', libdems and everyone else except a few lovers of the IRA bombers, homophobes , I am totally unsurprised to learn that you actually wish harm without limit to everyone.0 -
Gosh I just remembered. I wasn't born in the UK myself. I am in immigrant!
Hahaha, I occupy a house, and in a bit I am going to turn on a tap and drain away some of the good English mains water that should be reserved for English citizens. I even have the temerity to send my child to a school. Where they sit on a seat that should be reserved for proper British children.
Gosh, I may as well go the whole hog now. Tomorrow I am going to sit on a bus and pay 8 quid to go half a mile in a seat that should, by the right of God be reserved for a proper English, UKIP voting boomer with a final salary pension, a bus pass and a tele license I have to pay for out of my taxes.
Doubtless when Clapton and Conrad catch up with me I will have some kind of star sewn onto my clothes, but in the meantime I am going to keep milking the UK for all it is worth. Its tiny expensive houses, its astoundingly high student loans, its awful health service I can't opt out of, its potholed roads, and its friendly, generous, UKIP voting people, who really just make this place an unmissable tourist destination.

Nothing shows one's love of one's country more, than buying a royal baby biscuit tin and providing even more money to the aristocrats, who have employed an immigrant on minimum wage to make shortbread0
