The immense stupidity of the young idealistic Remain vote

Yeah right, with who's cash exactly? LOL you are so delusional - understand that WITHOUT the EU you'd not be able to get produce from abroad at a cheaper rate. Would you like thugs to sell you £45 eggs in the street corner? No I take it you wouldnt so lets just put a stop to this nonsense and stay in Europe.

The disadvantages of uncontrolled immigration immigration are nothing to do with race.

Nothing to do with what I said.

Why do you think we would necessarily join the EEA? We import far more from the EU than we export, and the proportion of such trade as a whole is falling. Britain is well placed for other markets.. A simple strategy of asking for free trade and then mirroring whatever tariffs other countries impose on us would be fine.

The German politicians huff and puff in advance of the vote but German industrialists have a lot more sense: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36596060

You said:

I think various polls have shown older generations to be less accepting ethnic minorities and etc. That is why immigration is a bigger factor in their decision.

Being less accepting of ethnic minorities (i.e. other races) does involve a degree of racism, doesn't it?

And your point is what?

I didn't say that if you are anti-immigrant then you are racist.

You left the smell of it hanging in the air. I wouldn't want to travel in a lift with you.

Vote OUT to cause chaos ya no

My friend list is largely made up of people in my age group (19) and the vitriol and self-righteousness of the remainers (i.e., all of them) is very irritating. Pictures singling out apparently ignorant individual working class people making stupid comments about immigration, or simply stereotyping out voters as lazy and uneducated in general, or calling leaving effectively immoral, or attacking old people voting out with the less than kind reasoning of "oh you'll die soon anyway".

I didn't say that we would join the EEA. That was the argument of the person I was talking to.

Importing more than we export isn't that important. Malta also import more than they export. The point is that 44% of our exports go to the EU vs 15% of vice versa. Therefore, we will be worse affected.

Lol@ Mirroring tariffs. So easy!

The point is, that in 2000, 60% of British exports were to the EU, whilst in 2015, only 47% were.

It's a shrinking sector, yet Britain is restricted from dealing with booming economies in Asia and the commonwealth because of EU deals,

thus Britain will be forced to continously bail out Greece and Italy, whose economies were better than when they joined the EU and the Euro. To say it isn't important it to ignore the huge £32 billion trade deficit we have with the EU, and the trade deficit with 20 of the 28 member states. Who needs who?

What is your point? That you make friends with morons?

The thing is that they aren't all morons. Many are very intelligent people by most reasonable metrics. I think a huge majority of people in this age group will want to remain and quite passionately, and this same huge majority isn't necessarily stupid. It is easy to dismiss those who display ignorance and generalisation as morons, but we all do this to an extent. I still like most of the people but I think it is very easy for people, especially at my age and younger, to get swept into the popular narrative, especially when so many are left wing and liberal. Furthermore I live in an area which has not seen the negative impacts of immigration to any extent, and a lot of people have head in the clouds notions that it has nothing but positive effects, as they have seen nothing but positive effects, if any, so seeing the leave campaign focus on this they naturally assume it is motivated purely by xenophobia and that turns them off it.

That wasn't his point. Anyway, so what? It is still 47%. You make it sound as if 47% is meaningless.



Which Asian country has said they are interested? (Answer = Zero)



I don't think Italy was bailed out.

Anyway, the entire reason why those countries are being bailed out is to prevent a banking crisis. That would include British banks.

The last point is irrelevant.

I'm saying that every year, this sector is shrinking, eventually it will be little to nothing. As it stands, Britain deals more with countries OUTSIDE the EU than within. Many Asian countries have said they will still trade with Britain, including Japan and China, if we leave. .

Louise 19, said she understood the pressures that immigration placed on schools and hospitals. But leaving the European Union worried her, she said, because it risked wrecking the economy and making it hard for young people to secure employment.

It took her eight months to find work as a barista, she said.

“If I wanted to work abroad, it would be a lot easier if England was in the E.U.,” Louise said.
