Do you really think that many Indians really care about the UK - or indeed anywhere else outside India except Pakistan maybe or Bangladesh? No, they don't.
A classic Remain 'lie' is to frame us as 'laughing stock Britain'.
This is such a misnomer. Germany cant even form a Gov't & the far right are set to step into power.
ONCE AGAIN LET'S COMPARE REMAINER FORECASTS OF A 'LAUGHING STOCK BRITAIN' WITH REALITY;
Today's figures show that, for every 10 EU nationals who leave the UK, 17 arrive. UK still hugely popular. A strange kind of "Brexodus"...(ONS Migration stats, Feb 2018)
Europeans flock to UK for years of study with 2017 applications 10% up;

BTW, the fascists in Austria are in coalition and have a ministry or two.
Right wing surge is happening across the EU, but still Remainers wont see it, still they're in denial about the EU induced democratic deficit
Milo!!!353; Zeman!!!8217;s victory in Czech presidential election is another setback for Western liberalism
http://theconversation.com/milos-zemans-victory-in-czech-presidential-election-is-another-setback-for-western-liberalism-90653
Reports quickly labelled Zeman a pro-Russian candidate who based his campaign on a strong anti-immigration platform. Both statements are true. Yet it would be a mistake to file the result as another confirmation of a right-wing nationalist surge in central Europe.
The contest, its style, and the final outcome are symptomatic of the profound divisions and challenges besetting Western liberal democracies. The election was a Czech variation on the UK’s EU referendum result, America’s election of Donald Trump, or the popularity of Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders. Even the winning margin of 2.75%, signifying the size of the gap between two polarised camps in the Czech society, was similar to the Brexit result.Restless, somebody pour me a vino.0 -
Manifestos from EU far-right parties : anti EU, anti immigrant.lol!
That`s got to be the most desperate link in the history of this thread, and we've had some beauties on both sides of the argument it has to be said. I didn't realise you hung on the every word of Roger Helmer MEP!
BTW, the fascists in Austria are in coalition and have a ministry or two.
Exactly what you lot voted for in the referendum.
So please spare me your faux indignation on the number of far-right wingers in the Bundestag. 0 -
How's the UK economic growth doing? Latest figures:

You do realise that our "far right" PM and her party campaigned for Remain in the referendum?
Your desperation and failure to find a UK equivalence for the growing scourge of mainland European fascism is noted.“Britain- A friend to all, beholden to none”. 🇬🇧0 -

You were doing okay-ish until this bit:
(fixed that for you.) Do you really think that many Indians really care about the UK - or indeed anywhere else outside India except Pakistan maybe or Bangladesh? No, they don't.
Nice try at getting your anti-Brexit comment in but it's a "fail" and not only for that but because the EU trade discussions with India are going where, and why? For the very same reasons.
The UK is India's 3rd largest investor. They might well not like your "personal slap" but if they want UK-sourced investment to continue at such a pace it's likely that compromise will be reached.
This has already been debunked, in the other thread actually.
The statistic you are referring to is about the number FDI projects.
And is from this report. which is out of date as India has fallen to number 4.

In terms of FDI in pounds sterling, India is about 1.9% of our foreign direct investment. A minnow compared to almost all of our European partners.
A minnow Tracey.
As for your other comments, I have travelled to India for work promoting my corner British industry, and personal tourism a great many times, and believe I am at least moderately qualified to offer an opinion on that country's attitude to the UK.
While individual Indians are individually very nice to and about British people, that is quite different to India's view of the UK as a state. A simple read of a history book should enlighten you as to why but that's all getting a bit too far from Brexit's roots isn't it?0 -

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2018/feb/05/uk-universities-rise-in-applications-eu-studentsIt estimates that 130,000 EU nationals emigrated in the year to September, the highest number since 2008.
Meanwhile, 220,000 EU nationals came to live in the UK - 47,000 fewer than the previous year.
Net EU migration - the difference between arrivals and departures - was 90,000, the lowest for five years0 -
No it hasn't.This has already been debunked, in the other thread actually.
It has been grumbled about just like you're grumbling here otherwise you would have posted some proof.
Then you talk about inward investment to the UK which is very nice and all but the UK investment into India is 3rd largest and all you're doing is showing that we already invest quite a bit in each other's countries.
A minnow it may be figuratively speaking but are you suggesting that there's no possibility of increasing trade?
Ah of course, that'll be why the EU want a trade deal.
Shame their talks with India are deadlocked.0 -

I linked to the report. Do I have to print it out and deliver it to you as well?
Open it and read point 4.0 -
Oh dear.Net EU migration - the difference between arrivals and departures - was 90,000, the lowest for five years
Still more come than leave.
Makes you wonder why according to some remainers here.
220,000 from the EU arrived - they obviously see more in the UK than the poster quoted.
