If we vote for Brexit what happens

thats uniquely full of xenophobes and closet racists
1) Sadly it's not unique.
2) It doesn't seem to be "full" as the figures suggest just over 50%.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.
Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.0 -
Below was posted by a reader of the Guardian relating to Right to buy.
'It sure is a !!!!!!! country, and thanks to Brexit it will get worse.
Have fun, I live in Germany, the UK is dead for me, I'll got to the cemetery here before I am forced to come back . It belongs to the the stupid, the vicious, the thick, the greedy, baby boomers, the pensioners, who hate their own grandkids, the dreadful media, zero hours, food banks, !!!!! wages, high energy costs, no service, students having to pay 9k. It goes on and on the disgusting viciouscness of the UK. An Island Hell of utter nastiness. Run by !!!!!!!s. Scotland needs to go, NI too. Westmister has no future apart from the cretins who look up into the blue sky and seem to imagine Spitfires flying over head'.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

why is it good for them to work in the UK if we have no spare labour?
surely better for you to employ people in their home country near their homes and friends and family rather than to relocate them hundreds or thousands of miles and create problems in both their home countries and in the UK0 -

Are you suggesting everyone that voted for brexit is a racist?
A small sample I know, but everyone I've spoken to in my circle did not have immigration among their reasons.0 -

Why do you think that's better for them, better for me and better for the UK? Three questions in one.
And why do you feel that anyone should make this decision other than employer and employee?I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

No, some may be xenophobes.
However, joking aside, the Ashcroft polls do show that Leave voters aren't exactly keen on immigration or multi-culturalism, or women's rights, or liberalism, or the environment, or a whole list of other things that Remain voters do actually care about.I've spoken to in my circle did not have immigration among their reasons.
I will admit to not having spoken to anyone who voted for Leave as for whatever reason I don't seem to mix with that kind of person. People on low/no incomes, yes, people from many walks of life, yes, people of all faiths and colours, yes, disabled people, unemployed people, yes, yes and yes, but seemingly not Leave voters.
Either they are keeping their mouths shut or I've chosen my friends wisely.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

I think that most (but not all) people would prefer to live near friends and family especially once one has children of ones own.
you must speak for yourself but one would assume the same emplyee working in the UK or their home country would work better in their home country.
better for the UK and the 'donor' country for all the usual reasons
And why do you feel that anyone should make this decision other than employer and employee?
because I don't believe in the free movement of people as this moment in time for all the usual reasons.0 -

I'd hazard a guess you live a fair way from where the poor and unemployed live.If I don't reply to your post,
