    You mean like they assisted Greece with all their problems....

    They did assist Greece.

    Greece complained because they had the same entitled mindset as leavers in the UK.

    But leavers in the UK have decided they don't need a bail out, right when their actions have made it likely the economy will tank.

    You're a snowflake pure and simple. The UK is doing ok, what do you expect they'll come and hold your hand while you cry about those scary people with different coloured faces appearing in your home town? Get over yourself.

    Think you've over stepped the mark somewhat.

    It's getting very boring now, calling all brexit voters racist does nothing for the remain argument and that attitude prior to referendum put us in position where referendum was called and lost.

    Influence of social media unfortunately. Spread a message to the faithfull to preach. Concern must be that the divides won't heal in the short term. The UK faces considerable social challenges as it is. Brexit or no Brexit.

    Replaying all the arguments for and against Britain’s membership of the EU might be fun for some people but we should and are past that.

    We are where we are.
    Britain has a choice.
    Leave with the deal and move on with good will to negotiate a new trade deal with the EU27
    Or
    Leave without a deal causing massive disruption to Britain and its close neighbours and THEN try and negotiate a trade deal with a VERY damaged and upset EU27

    You Brexiters only have to make your mind up. You found it pretty easy to do so in the referendum in June 2016.
    What’s the matter, got cold feet?

    Seems remainers in parliament are holding us up leaving.Our minds are made, its 'leave' no cold feet here,just stubborn remain politicians refusing to follow the will of the people or the referendum.
    Should'nt really concern you,living in the EU?

    Corbyn playing his own game of politics. No interest in the people. Just his now outdated ideology. If people consider Brexit to be a danger to the economy. Be a real wake up call if Labour appear to be heading for a GE victory. International currency and money markets will price accordingly.

    The one thing brexit has done is to show us what our MPs are really like.

    Maybe, but I've not found a leaver yet that says things like that which doesn't meet that definition. It normally takes a while, but they've all eventually admitted that they think there are too many foreigners here.

    But the "the EU doesn't care about the UK" is a xenophobic argument, because it focuses purely on us vs them and ignores the facts.

    It was the fear of upsetting people by pointing out the us vs them comparisons was xenophobia that lost the referendum. Nationalism is a creeping threat that is allowed by liberal attitudes.

    You do understand that being concerned over immigration and racism are not the same thing?
