Or regret your choice? Brexit the gift that keeps on giving :(

YY Chilipepper, I have a friend who is Albanian and married a French woman. He couldn't get a job for love nor money there because they would always employ the worst Frenchman than an Albanian.

I voted for Brexit but have never voted Tory (or UKIP)

Won't be voting for TM

Well considering you voted remain obviously your obviously fine with working class people having their pay and conditions smashed by the flooding of the labour market (particularly in skilled, semi skilled and unskilled jobs in the traditional blue collar industry which disproportionately employs working class people) via uncontrolled immigration.

Your obviously fine with working class communities having to deal with their already overstretched local resources and infrastructure (schools, doctors, housing etc) put under more pressure as migrants disproportionately settle in working class communities with social or cheap housing.

Your obviously fine with working class people having to deal with the social and security affects of mass immigration from Eastern European organised crime groups to the rape of over 2,500 vunerable white girls in Rotherham by Pakistani street gangs (and yes I do hold people like you at least partially responsible for it).

I hope cheap cleaners and nannys, paperwork free holidays and getting to feel all progressive about yourself while you live in migrant free suburbs and someone else suffers the consequences of your politics was worth the massive amounts of damage they have done to working class communities up and down the country over the last several decades. Enjoy it while it lasts.

No I don't care about your fake made up hate crimes either or the statistics which include a bloke telling a women in a headscarf she'd look better without it as 'hate crimes'. You turned your heads for decades and called us racists while working class people suffered from your politics, if you suffer because of ours then good. *

*On the unlikely off chance you happen to be actually working class (and not just lower middle class who happens to call yourself working class as happens far to often) then I apologise. Your just a class traitor instead.

*What bothers me about remain voters is while (I presume) they don't all think leave voters are too stupid to vote, or too old to vote, they've sided with those who do. They don't all shout 'bigot, xenophobe, Little Englander' rather than debate the issues, but they've sided with those who do.

Every attempt by Leavers on Mumsnet to discuss the result immediately after the referendum last year was shouted down and derailed by Remainers. If Remainers think all Leavers share the responsibility for the actions of a few, then all Remainers equally share responsibility for that*

^^THIS,

Although...thought the thread was about the economy?

Butr that's it, blame everything on brexit.

All the years we were part of the EU there was no reseccions, no mass unemployment, no remain liars politicians, no doom and gloom, no housing crisis, it was all unicorns and rainbows and riches for all....need I go on?

of course I don't need to go on, , just keep blaming everything on Brexit.

and BTW the money markets rise and fall every other day, whats the problem?

Actually, racism can be wide as well as small.

An English person can be racist towards a Welsh person, but a British person (of either Welsh or English origin) can be racist towards an Indian person.

So it is with the EU: an institution that is loving and welcoming towards those in European countries then has to limit those who enter from non European (or more accurately, non EU) countries.

Many of DHs friends work for the NHS and are from Asia. They almost all voted to leave!

i don't regret my choice and wouldn't change it either, but then you wouldn't either [possibly]

the Hungarian government

YY Good point actually, we don't seem to hear much about the Hungarian government however are they not the massive thorn in the side of the EU?

At any rate it will be interesting to see what happens next week with round 2 of the French elections.

I must admit we experienced racism in Scotland actually at a B and B bar....

Yes, I think you are being a bit unreasonable.

The UK rate of inflation is lower than in many EU and non-EU countries. It is only slightly above the BoE's target and very slightly above wage growth. The US coincidentally currently has its highest inflation rate in over 6 years.

The economy is still growing, better than many predicted prior to the Brexit vote. The 0.3% growth rate is only slightly less than 0.4% forecasted rate. Although, granted this is the country's worst growth rate since early 2016, it is hardly doom and gloom.

I think the economy needs to get much worse before it is likely to result in brexiteer remorse. But maybe we are just seeing the start of a downwards turn and TM is being wise to call an early election whilst the going is reasonably good.

I don't think you can blame Rotherham on remainers or the E.U.

Narrow minded eejits, leavers.

Sure you can. Virtually all pro immigration lefties are remainers.

And pro immigration people are both responsible for the rapists themselves been allowed to come here and for creating a culture of fear within British society against raising criticisms even if perfectly valid and factual of ethnic minorities by calling people racist for not been PC.

Maybe if they hadn't the police might of been able to do something to help these poors girls without getting sacked for been 'waacist'. But then who cares about working class girls as long middle class people get to feel good about themselves while they live in their all white suburbs. You know they arrested the dads of one of the girls for racial and religious hatred when he went to confront his daughter's rapists?

Makes me sick.

I think Rotherham makes every right thinking person sick. The only people responsible for it are the rapists themselves, and the police who did sweet FA. Are you aware there were people from within those communities desperately trying to clue in the authorities into the abuse?

It's not as simple as you may think, also how many white men fly overseas to exploit women and children from other cultures. These attitudes are not peculiar to a specific culture.

They don't care, they won't until millions of professional jobs are lost, Doctors, Lawyers, Bbc journalists etc.
They have done well out of immigration, they will never understand the working classes.

Rale want to type that again but actually try to make sense?

JustAKitten no, i've wrote it in fairly reasonable grammar for an internet forum. If you can't understand it tough titty.

Rale immigration is a much wider issue than Rotherham and the percentage of immigrants that commit crime is not the majority, so explain why being pro immigration means Rotherham is your fault?

I'm happy with my choice. Brexit here we come.

Dervel - Except they aren't getting away with it due to right wing politics.

The Rotherham offenders did get away with it for decades because of left wing politics and the culture of fear they created.

Also iirc the Home Office has put a renewed focus on identififying and prosecuting child sex offenders who commit their crimes overseas in recent years.

But you equate Brexit with achieving left wing policies?

I don't particularly view Brexit as a left/right issue - there were plenty of left leaning Brexiteers -

www.leftleave.org/

I think we have all right or left have been leery of getting tarred with the racist brush. I'm pretty right wing and am very anti-racist. I do agree we have let down the working classes very badly in the inexorable march towards globalism and that we use things like racism to silence working class concerns.

My hope is with Brexit is that we can try to put our shared values front and centre, and decide together what we want Britain to be going towards.
