Tell me what I am supposed to think please.

[jourdain2]

Oh, well! Yet another argument for 'OUT!'

[Svejk]

We no longer get to decide how many migrants we take, hopkirk. Brussels will decide for us. hth.

[EDDIE51]

It's a Europe wide problem so a Europe wide process for decisions seems logical.

[Svejk]

^That, imo, is a very strange, minority view, Eddie.

Immigration has sweet fa to do with Brexit. Actually, the arguments for staying in are far stronger as border control and security would be thrown straight back on the Uk, no or little assistance from our current partners.

Never mind the impact on the economy from veg and daff pickers down here, hotel and restaurant staff, many more jobs right up to who plays for Exeter RFU, FC and Plymouth.....

[jourdain2]

It's not just immigration, DTC, it's yet another remote power being set up that removes local (i.e. National) control from an issue which affects people far removed from the decision-makers.

[EDDIE51]

^^ At last someone agrees with what I have been trying to say for months.
Out of the EU will not stop immigration but will make it a lot harder to deal with. France has already stated that the Calais /UK border could not continue if we were out of the EU, it would have to revert to Dover.

[Zacs-Master]

You'll just get the usual boring imbeciles crying 'scaremongering' Eddie. Can't see beyond their xenophobic snouts I'm afraid. And now I'll be labelled a 'leftie'.

[Baldric]

You WILL do as we say!

The Guys who died in the two World Wars defending the freedom of the UK must be turning in their Graves with what is happening today.

We need OUT!

[DTCwordfan]

exactly, eddie - not forgetting the shyyte that comes our way in Dover, on the Irish border and potentially, even over Hadrian's Wall......we are better off in, influencing change....and the Brexits have no idea of the economic impact they would have on some of our industries like tourism...even banking and mgt consultancy services if we withdraw. As to the low value jobs, Brits are not prepared to get off their anuses and do anything.....with our current unemployment, we are getting close to these unemployable remnants (ok, I'll accept that some of them are legit disableds etc - but there are many who are mere sloths - they are not going out into the fields, on the building sites and inside the restaurant kitchens or cleaning hotel rooms). Wake up....!!!

[Jackdaw33]

I would never call you a leftie, ZM, just naive beyond belief. It's all grist to the mill anyway; the more we get of this nonsense the bigger the pile of OUT votes stocks up. As for DTC, go pick yer own daffs, that's when you can find the time to spend away from 'tending' to your sheep!

[DTCwordfan]

The 2nd World War finished over 70 years ago - move on for Christ's sake. And on that theme, who are we, of the post 55 years old generation to dictate how our

[DTCwordfan]

jackdaw - the sign of a poor mind when it comes to argument is when you turn to insults. Chuck it, it does not behold well of you.

Absolute bullshhh Are you telling me you don't know any Brits who are in low paid jobs?

[Baldric]

///who are we, of the post 55 years old generation to dictate///

I'll tell you who I am, and that is someone with an opinion and more importantly, a Vote.

[DTCwordfan]

No I am not saying that, but there are sectors, talbot, that rely heavily on European labour, albeit residential or temporary in nature...jobs that could be done by the unemployed if they stirred their haunches. What I am in favour of is offering jobs in any EU country to the locals for a period of x weeks/months (perhaps conditional on the sector) so the locals get first dibs - and then, if there is no uptake, it can be offered outside the country borders.....that's change from within.

[DTCwordfan]

And I have a vote too, Baldric, so we'll agree to disagree and that's one all in the count.

[Jackdaw33]

DTC. That was not an insult, it was a rather pathetic attempt at humour on my part. Bleedin' Norah, they call the Welsh prickly; they have nothing on the Cornish. By the way, I think that the word you were looking for was 'behove' and not 'behold'.

[DTCwordfan]

correct - but circumstances dictate that I am not in that much of a humorous mood tonight, other than a few dire puns on 'Play Nicely' or is that 'Pay Nicely.'

Best I withdraw.
