Re: brexit cost

@ Foxlv

1. This comes from 2 sides. Yes the UK will save money as we are without any doubt a net contributor to the EU but we will also be free of the restrictions of the EU which cost us. The real question is if the gov will take the saving and the opportunity of freedom to make good decisions for the country or if they will continue with what we did while in the EU/worse.

2. Unfortunately we are in a state of unbelievable FUD. There seems to be a determination that the UK must fail/crash/burn if it does not bend to certain wills. For nationalists that is to isolate us from the world but for some die hard EU supporters they also want the same destructive goals if we leave the EU. It is scary hearing people insist that good is bad and that success is failure.

3. Kinda. The major problem of immigration was mostly down to the idiocy of implementation. The labour gov dismantled border controls in or out of the EU so we dont actually know who is or is not here nor if it is legally. We have ghetto's and parts of the country which are certainly not Britain anymore. This is mostly from outside the EU immigration but it causes problems for whites and non-whites all the same. However mass immigration from the EU produced growth in the country which labour squandered and didnt put the infrastructure in place to cope with it. Add the PC problem and it is pretty alienating in our own country.

There are benefits to immigration and the best and brightest should be welcomed. Exchange of skills and cooperation is also a great benefit often overlooked. But the EU is learning the hard way with mass uncontrolled immigration. Add that the UK has for a long time been attacked by our 'ally' France thanks to the illegal migration from Calais. And sensible discussion is often attacked by our PC enthusiasts. The extent of the damage is visible from the recent scandals where police and officials allow serious crime in fear of upsetting migrants.
