Winter is coming. Never a better time to leave the EU. We will be able to react quickly to global economic meltdown. The EU won't.

Be alert. Britain's gonna need 'em.

Why? I have my house in Switzerland and a dual Swiss / UK passport if Brexit works great if not then no worries.

[Andy Capp]

All this cobblers: there are far too many people with vested interests in many outcomes to see either the EU or UK go down the pan.

We’re playing into Putin’s hands though.

We won’t know for 50 years.

I thought the sky was going to fall in on the 29th March? I bought some locust repellent a while back. Have I wasted my money?

We were also told by DD that Mrs Merkel would be on the blower the morning after the referendum to do a trade deal. That didn’t happen either.

Think Mutti's a bit busy at the moment, what with all the immigrants and her getting kicked out. Lots in her diary already, like looking for a job.

Funny how all these migrants are still trying to cross the channel from France. Why?

Because they have family here? Because they have heard Britain is a safe country? Because they want our health care? Lots of reasons. But why can’t they just hop on a ferry if we’re in the EU?

Or, words got round about the vulnerable young girls, free housing, free money and whole busloads of simpering damp palmed liberals ready to egg them on.

Don't understand it myself. Isn't the EU a paradise? Why leave a paradise for Brexageddon? Someone told me the other day they were a "brexugee".😂

Wouldn't it be more cost effective to ship them across the channel on a ferry; process their credentials and return those who don't meet the criteria on the next crossing?
On a subjective matter, what has all this to do with japanese whaling?

Had it escaped your notice that this site has been taken over by extreme right wingers? NWN ought to pull the plug in my opinion.

Extreme right wingers? The comedy continues eh?
BTW, they are NOT migrants, they are illegal aliens attempting to buck the system, so should be treated as such.

They are neither. They are refugees from a war caused by western governments. You’re just too indoctrinated by right wing media to see it.

Refugees?

So why do they end up in small boats trying to sneak in illegally?

I would prefer you said "ongoing conflict" caused by idealists from all sides than lay the blame squarely on the West. I agree it was folly to go into Iraq and Afghanistan, but if we hadn't they would still be killing each other and blowing up the odd european shopping centre just for the h**l of it. Two thousand years of aggression will not come to an end on the say of some US president nor will the Arab world be united and live in harmony. Most of the migrants are from North Africa where, to the best of my knowledge, we are not engaged in any form, so we either have an open door policy and allow unfettered access or say sorry we are full go elsewhere.
