Maybe i just associated with less abusive company.
I do find it remarkable that someone of your age and experience would continue to look at the world through such a polarised viewpoint, be it right/left or Remain/Leave. The idea that hate is the province of either in this country, simply doesn't seem to tally with the evidence.
I am also the sort who would make their displeasure known, if someone close to me was being verbally/physically assaulted. The chances are that i would recall such.
I find it hard to believe that anyone, regardless of age and experience can't see the bile poured out by the Mail, Sun, UKIP et al as anything other than hatred. When talking about racism it's always a polarised issue, there's no such thing as an acceptable amount despite what your political mouthpieces might believe.
I repeat, you're lucky, walk around with eyes and ears closed or don't go out much if you've yet to see the rise in xenophobia in Britain.
Yes, that has been known to happen.
Care to argue the toss over immigration with some real facts then or just happy with glib comments. Immigrants to the UK are net contributors who help keep our system afloat, we are not full and where services are stretched thin that is due to underfunding and not the presence of immigrants within that system.
Whilst much of what you state here is conjecture at this point, the continued upward movement of our budgetary contributions is not (the potential return is not fixed at the current level). I am confident that thee will a significant saving, even if we do elect to maintain a lesser number of existing cooperative arrangements
The ECB have stated we will have to continue paying down our debts to the EU regardless of membership and the estimates are in the order of £350M per week for at least the next five years. The £350M quoted by Brexit failed to factor in the rebate to our contributions so was always a lie. Businesses and individuals are already relocating and our economy is at it's lowest level ever. Where is the conjecture here Nick?
Where is the cause for your confidence? Particularly if, as you admit we are likely to have fewer cooperative agreements.
All I see is mounting evidence that suggests the downside to Brexit suggested by the remain side and independent experts look to have been well founded.
As for our growing budgetary contributions, care to demonstrate that with some hard facts?
The trend was a rise during the economic crisis but that looks a lot like a fairly steep decline in net contributions for the last 3 years to me rather than the continuing upward movement you cite.
Admit it, you've fecked over the country for a petty protest vote and haven't got a fecking clue where we go from here other than down but would rather go down professing your satisfaction with the vote than admit your error.
