Geeze Tony - why dontch tell us what ya REALLY think?

 I would but it would need to be in simple terms for the idiot foreigners who open their mouths without engaging their brain and think they know what we should or shouldn't do! We joined the eu as a trading partner in 1973, it changed for the worse over the years with non elected beaurocrats trampling over our sovereign rights to govern our own country and restricted our trading with non eu countries. This has rankled me for many years we effectivly dumped Australia, New Zealand and Canada. 3 countries who backed us during the war. Now we are going to be free of the lying cheating eu dictators and the way things are going a lot more countries will follow suit. The gravy train is going to come the to a grinding shuddering halt when countries like Denmak Sweden, Czech Republic, Netherlands want out and there's even a referendum cry from the French and threats from them of not controlling the Calais gimmegrunts allowing them to make their way to the UK. Big mistake building the channel tunnel it needs sealing off permanently and patrol boats covering the channel to arrest and sink the boats people smuggers are using sling the smugglers in jail and deport the immigrants back to their homeland.

Its very encouraging to see Great Britain embrace her sovereignty again. It will be bumpy, no doubt, but it will be worth it. Hopefully, this side of the pond will see the light and end our own foolish immigration policies. I doubt it will, the Republicans want the cheap labor and the demonrats want the votes. A pox on all their houses.

It had to come Mark, our government just rolled over and let the eu ride rough shod over us. We are a small country with limited space piling immigrants in means building houses on farm land we can ill afford to lose. People applying for council accomodation are shoved to the bottom of the pile whilst they house the "visitors" and we pay for their upkeep. Meanwhile the elderly and infirm struggle to heat or eat, I transport elderly, mentally and physically handicapped to day centers during the week and they get a hot meal at the centers, probably the only hot meal they will get that day. It's heartbreaking.

Kick the immigrants out and take back the 5 million British ex-pats living outside of the UK.
 
As full disclosure:
I and both my parents were born in South Africa.
Both my paternal and maternal grandparents were born in Eire.
I am also an Eire citizen, therefor also a citizen of the EU.
My son was born in UK and is therefor a UK, Eire and South African citizen.
I lived and worked in the UK for more than 7 years as one of the "immigrant scum". I did jobs that UK citizens didn't want to do. I paid my taxes and never claimed any benefits. The only time I used the NHS was when my child was born, 6 years after I started work in UK.
 
When "indigenous Brits" start painting all non-indigenous Brits with the same brush it smacks of Xenophobia (something that haunts our country). You cannot say that, because some are abusing the system, that all are. Because there are indigenous Brits that are guilty of this too.

Living in the UK for seven years doesn't make you an expert on UK affairs. Before you start mouthing off get your own house in order!! We'll gladly take back our expats at least they'll pay their way and happily send the immigrants to you, they may enjoy the treatment you lot dished out to the indiginous population. You whine about drunk lorry drivers not being jailed and unfairness of the system . I'd call that payback for your treatment of them in the past.

Yeah its going to be a shake up. Hopefully it'll all come out in the wash & settle down soon.

I used to live there, but haven't for 35 years at this point so I don't really feel qualified to judge current affairs, based on press propaganda & old memories.

It's a bloody 3 ringed circus at the moment the scots want another referendum for independance because they want to stay in the eu, Camoron has resigned as I predicted, Corbyn has been told to leave after a vote of no confidence in him and to cap it all the inhabitants of London want UDI because they voted to remain in the eu. If the Jocks do get independance we'll have to erect a bloody big fence have border patrols and checkpoints and patrol boats . Even funnier would be a huge fence around London with border exit points. Maybe we can declare UDI for Yorkshire too, I'd be straight back over the pennines and shut the gates after I'd got in. LOL
  The eu want rid of us asap but Angle Grinder Merkel wants to keep the trade gates open with us, Sweden has suggested we join them and Norway and have a Nordic Alliance, Poland  the Czech Republic are rumbling about pulling out and the French want a referendum too. Chaos reigns supreme.

My Grandfather was sent to the Boer war as a officer cadet and was unsure why he was there.

You think we're proud of the concetration camps?? Shows just how ignorant you are thinking that we are to blame for our forefathers brutality. I've always had respect for the men who responded to the call for "Commando" and the merry dance they led Brit troops. De la Rey, de Wet and Jannie Smuts were brilliant generals unlike Buller and Kitchiner and the treacherous Cecil Rhodes with his henchmen like Leander Star Jameson.
  You're not the only one who reads and discerns between right and wrong, what they did to the jocks in 1745 was another disgraceful episode in history. Things WE can't put right but we can make sure we don't wind up in a similar position by allowing the country to be swamped and eventually taken over by " Ouitlanders" (correct spelling?) and subjecting us to Shiara law!!

To be honest I'm not really sure how this will all turn out when the dust has settled. 
I do think it's sad for the younger generation who voted to stay; and let's face it; they will have to live longer with the decision than the older generation that mainly voted out. 

But Europe does need a shake up and that's for sure. It takes them 10 years to decide anything, it's ridiculous. From a commercial trade point of view, the EU is good; but there's too much meddling in some areas of politics that have nothing to do with trade. Expanding the EU to fit in bankrupt countries like Greece was the probably the beginning of the end.

However I'm one of the 1,200,000 Brits that work in Europe; how will it effect us. Will we need new residency permits,(carte sejour) like the Africans. Do I need to get an Irish passport! will Brits who want to move back to UK for there retirement get the pension from there EU member state where they worked? 

What I saw of the whole exit campaign seems based on immigration and paying benefits to free loaders; but a lot of migrants do work for a living; and plenty of Brit's free load as well. 
It's the whole system that needs an overhaul. People need to be re-educated in the basic and necessary ethic of working for a living.
I don't think the migrants at Calais are going to stop trying to get into the UK, and the border is about as secure as it can be and still allow passage of trade. 

 Interesting times indeed and we will probably all look back on 23/06/2016 as a day that something changed! good or bad ! only time will tell.
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!
