Simple...I want the UK to stay the UK and out of the EU. The same EU that tells us we have to house,cloth and feed convicted peedos who go and kill 14 year old girls within a week of that EU ruling of his "rights".
Which case is this?
The same EU that wants us to throw open our borders...OUR borders to just about anyone who fancies afternoon tea with her maj...and their families and all their friends...and their friends...and enough is enough.
Borders to EU citizens, about half of last year's net immigration. The rest WE decided to admit, one would assume for good reasons.
But it's never enough with the EU because it's completely open and that I simply cannot agree to.
Not quite. We can refuse to admit known EU nationals who are criminals, and indeed we do. Obviously unknown criminals pass through whatever their origin.
What I specifically want? Complex answer. Easier to just tell ye what I don't want and that's open borders and I don't care for taking orders from a brussels/berlin tag team, elected or otherwise. I don't want to see my daughter having to walk on the other side of the street because a bunch of immigrants are making her feel uncomfortable because of the very dramatic rise in recorded s that all seem to follow a very familiar pattern and all seem to lead back to the same ethnic groups time and time again. Not an awful lot of this seems to be making it's way onto the BBC news which have been found to be severely lacking when it comes to impartiality...so they gotta go when the dust settles...that's one thing I do want to see.
About 70% of all sexual offences are from white men -

It's the BBC's 'balance' that partially caused this mess. Giving the same weight to the opinion of one expert who has an opinion that differs from 1,000 other experts gives undue weight to the outlier. This happened with Brexit, and it happens with climate change. Unwittingly the BBC were biased in favour of exit.
We have been trying for years...decades to get those in authority to listen to us and time and time again, we are simply called racist and told to be more tolerant by the experts in their ivory towers and manicured gardens...and now the EU wants to make things immeasurably worse and you ask me what I specifically want? I wanna slap yer faces and get ye to wake up to whats happening under yer very noses...after ye remove them from the EU collective but hole.
This is indeed a problem, we can't have a sensible discussion about this without someone raising the racism accusation. That is a failing, but not just at the EU level, from every level within the UK. I don't quite know how the EU wants to make it immeasurably worse, however.
Watch the world burn? I like the odd joke but the joker I am not...I want a better future for my daughter than what I had to go through...if I have to do bad things to make that dream a reality and be branded a racist, then so be it. There is nothing I wouldn't do for her...and she is afraid. She has nightmares at night...I jest you not. Perhaps if you yourself are a father, then you understand. My methods and beliefs may not be good but my intentions are whether you agree or not.
I think all of us do. I note your location, and assume you understand the implications for the removal of freedom of movement?
I understand the fear of the different, the fear of rumour. But that's all it is. As an example a few years ago I worked in Belfast. Which is a great city. One night the chap I was working with decided we should go to a gig at place called The Rotterdam. Door covered in IRA graffiti. I was terrified, but in we went and had a great evening. Perceptions can be wrong, and education and understanding from both sides bridges the gap.
I'm sorry, but I genuinely do not feel as though that future can be attained while we remain within the EU, and so far not one single argument has done anything to change that opinion. So far it's been nothing but "told ye so" and mud slinging and innuendo and ad hominem insults...the very reason why I stopped listening to "experts" because they don't talk to us, they talk at us...there's a difference ^^
I'm sorry you feel that way. Nothing I have typed was aimed at you as an ad-hom. I'm also disappointed you feel so disconnected from the 'experts', but the problem there is they may well know what they are talking about more than some bloke down the pub.
