I agree.. 100% .. I still maintain that the campaign should not have been led by politicians. However, whilst the referendum was an act of democracy, realistically it's not possible for everyone to understand the important fact and the implications.
Maybe we'll think again about having any future referendums. I voted for my MP to act on my behalf on the possibility of things I don't understand. For this very reason.
Hundreds of jobs on a website doesn't tell you there is tons of jobs to go around. There could be thousands of people applying for each job as I found when I lived in Hull for a time.
If the labour market is reversed, people will be asking themselves "why am I sitting here with a can of special brew when I can move boxes around for more money" instead of the opposite.
In what world does free movement make sense when we already have a ton of native people who are not working for various reasons? How can we continue to support hundreds of thousands of extra people every year?
I think Dave's no bennies for migrants deal is a step in the right direction as we need to make coming here less attractive, give the working class brits a chance to recover.
Those who blame 'the foreigners' for everything probably are making excuses, but that doesn't mean that uncontrolled immigration is not a problem.
Very strange, the result equates to a 3.8% majority which equals over 1,269,501 more people voting for leave than remain.
So where is the justification for another referendum, or is it just sour grapes from the remain campaign.

I don't blame the immigrants one bit. They are only taking advantage of jobs which British (regardless of race ) people aren't prepared or won't to do. We have more kids than ever leaving uni with degree education that think (and rightly so) that they are better, this leaves a gap in the labour market and a shortage of skills.. Brick layers for example. We don't need any immigrant policies, just fill the jobs from school leavers who aren't of a degree standard so there's not the opportunities available. We've been led to believe this idiocy that everyone should be of a degree level.
Such a close result shouldn't be accepted regardless of the result. Remain or leave, those figures aren't clear enough to call a win.
Anyone who is happy with the figures as it stands is likely so just because they don't want it to change and aren't actually interested in fairness and the democratic process.
So if we are low on bricklayers, incentivize training or actively look abroad through an immigration system. It doesn't have to be holding the doors open to everybody in the hopes that a bricklayer will come through.
What is this logic? If we ran the referendum again and the result is 52% remain, what results do we go by? The one you favour? Should we vote again because now the leavers are upset?
First where you go is don't guess what he means. I was banned for 2 days over an Eurovision video because of assuming, while hilarious in my case, it's not good slurring someone you know when it's not a fact.
Except that's not entirely true. I work for an engineering company. We recently had redundancies and I saw several very good people laid off who quite frankly shouldn't have been and everyone knows it's down to equality. Either an immigrant was chosen over them, or a female.
Put it this way, in every single case where a man and woman were the final two in a group the man went.
These aren't lazy, uneducated people. They are doctors, masters and every one of them was an engineering expert.

So how is that different to the space before the question mark?
Best of three?
Leave is a vote for change, presumably if there aren't numbers enough to show a clear decision in favour of change then there would be no change.

Because that's outright incorrect. Contractions are correct and valid, but formal writing the preference is to forgo contractions.
Stop thinking of it in terms of us throwing a few £BILLION at the parasites and vulture Hedge Fund and Stock Exchange Bankster Fraudsters and losing 'Call me Dave', just look at how many Financial/Constitutional/International Law/Trade Experts and indeed Market Forecasters with almost Prophet like vision we have gained in just the last three day! What a time to be alive!
And on the flip side all those with Holiday homes in Spain or deluded dream integration is working fantasticly voted stay....

Do you really think vote remain wasn't a vote for change. Surely you don't believe that the EU isnt heading towards futher unification.

To be honest further unification is for the best IMO, the only way the EU can work is for countries to surrender some of their fiscal policies to the EU through integration to ensure they don't burn through the funds provided by the EU. A classic example is Greece.
That's not at all a vote for change. Don't be so delusional.

So you're a "racist knuckle dragging monkey" if you don't want a proportionally large percentage of your home population to be foreign? Your kind of dumb logic is pathetic.
Should we highlight the fact that all the racist knuckle dragging monkeys follow football? So are all football fans the subjects of your abuse?
Can you show me where I said this?
