David Cameron: Give me something that I'm not entitled to because some bigots in the UK say we are better than you
EU: ?
Bigots: All and sundry have brushed off David Cameron, we must leave.
Merkel: Jesus Dave, its a week until the referendum and the polls are getting a little to close for comfort. Let me help please.
Cameron: Too late Angela, I warned you and the rest that the Brits are heartlily cheesed off with the EU and you couldn't wait to make me look a **** in front of my electorate. Its too close to call but I still think we'll win.
Brexit. QED.
Middle class entitled Brits: But, but, but, you mean the great unwashed have a vote that has as much electoral weight as mine?
**** this democracy lark, we must overturn this and refer to these people as bigots, racists and xenophobes. My World view must prevail regardless.“Britain- A friend to all, beholden to none”. 🇬🇧0 -
Middle class entitled Brits: But, but, but, you mean the elite can lie and blame foreigners and the unwashed lap it up?

Middle class entitled Brits: So we all lose out apart from you and your rich mates? What will you do when they

The economy seems to be getting along nicely without the constant interference of politicians. Perhaps the HoC should stay tied up for a while longer. While the real people who run this country quietly get on with their work.0 -

Well yes but it’s not quite that simple is it.
Immigrants come in at all levels and are widely acknowledged to be hard working (dare I say it - more hard working than the natives who’ve in comparison had a cushy upbringing).
Many of those I meet personally (I like to get cheap hairdos and manicures at training venues) are investing in themselves and working their way up.
There are the low paid that we do need but also the qualified GPS, dentists and hospital consultants to name a few (also add in Mark Carney as well).
I would prefer we trained up and incentivized more of our own young people to be nurses, doctors etc. partly for the sake of British you people but also I don’t like the idea of villages in India and Thailand being devoid of health professionals which I think is morally wrong.
So whilst I value their work ethic and contribution, I am not saying I want it to be like this.0 -

I work with a number of early generation Polish people. Even they comment on the later arrivals.dare I say it - more hard working than the natives who’ve in comparison had a cushy upbringing
There's the good, the bad and the indifferent in every Nation.
If there's a way of obtaining money for doing very little then human nature tends to take over.
In our locality we are short of 35 GP's. The population boom is unrelenting. Unfortunately GP's take years to train. The seeds needed to be planted years ago. Playing catch-up simply isn't achievable.0 -

You can't vote "don't know" in a referendum and undecided people generally vote for the status quo, which is now Leave. Each day that passes makes floaters less and less likely to vote for the unknown quantity of committing to the European project and ever closer union.
Remain know this which is why they have still not called a second referendum. They may be blustery but they're not thick.0
