EU protection racket threatens to kneecap England

Amen brother - I propose flooding them with as many refugees as possible (After we have fortified our glorious Calais giant wall)

Ditto!

What you mean is ethnicity.

Ah, feels good to be schooled by a foreigner on the English language, no? Want to switch to German? Oh, wait, Britain is dead last in Europe in second language fluency. Pity.

Nah, you lost that privilege through sabotaging the European idea for decades and doing nothing but moaning and complaining.

Others are free to leave, but they will be treated the same way if their leave campaign also consists of nothing but nationalist, xenophobic populism.

You lot need to be punished for not getting the European idea. And you will be punished. Your laughable economy will suffer. Hard.

I find this interesting, the most ridiculously well accomplished people I've ever met, generally did vote leave, I voted remain, but I respect democracy and the TitanticTwitPhil is definitely fulfilling this stereotype of a sneering middle class crybaby.

Won't work - they're almost all in Germany already after you lot shirked your human (let alone European) duty to help people fleeing from violence and terror.

Absolutely. And what I found interesting is that these guys, incredibly intelligent as they are, are also truly pro-European in the cultural sense. As I said, one of them, who placed in the top 3 on the BCL, works for the number 1 chambers in the country... he speaks, reads and writes medieval German. Latin and Italian. He's a Wagner fanatic. We spent three weeks in Italy on a road trip from Palermo to Venice, he is one of the most culturally un-Anglo-Saxon Anglo-Saxons you will ever meet. But he also has a very strong sense of the importance of democratic accountability and his view is that it is a mistake, and contrary to all the lessons the English have learned about democracy since 1688, to have a body that we cannot vote out making laws for us (and as someone who has done some work in the EU regulatory law area, he knows whereof he speaks).

The other is an art dealer and an expert on Dutch Old Master paintings. He spends around three months of the year in the French Riviera and Switzerland, speaks French with no accent and regularly travels to South America and Africa. Also an Oxonian.

Both of these guys are truly cosmopolitan in the way the whining lower-middle class pro-Europeans almost never are. Both of them are superbly educated and possess an exceptionally broad reading of history. And that is my general experience across my group of friends. The ones who are maybe one generation out of the working-class but who now maybe work in academia... they have almost this desperately insecure need to be pro-EU (which to their mind means pro-European) to get away from their working-class roots.

Im talking about services. They wont be within the single market, which is what passporting is all about and why they wont be able to sell services there. Taroffs wont ake UK goods cheaper, the whole point of them is to impose an additional burden to make the item more expensive.

Why is that good?

We won't be an EU colony.

Why is it good to completely leave the single market though?

Strong autism.

We are better off on our own, why? Global nation not a EU-brick-wall nation.

We can be a global nation and have access to the single market so, again, why should we leave the single market all together?

The article doesn't have anything which supports the argument that we should abandon the EU and the single market.

So the only people who have differing views to yours are autists?
