Do some proper reading before you waffle on with your bigoted, ignorant opinions.

Would getting rid of the Daily Mail and sending adults to the library be your answer. Sadly lots of people are just 'hanging in there' and had the opportunity to speak and spoke.

Have you considered some might want managed immigration rather than uncontrolled. Probably not as it seems its yes/no with you. Have you ever considered why so many Europeans from the less wealthy countries have travelled to the UK. whilst the numbers from Germany etc proportionately haven't risen at a similar level. We want skills we haven't got and the right to select them, not less wealthy people with lower skills coming for a chance.

You sir are the ignorant bigot. Accept what has been voted for and why. Democratic results are just that.

Yeh, the 60s and 70s were great weren't they, when Britain was known as "the poor man of Europe"? But at least there weren't as many foreigners ey?

I haven't not accepted it. The people spoke. Albeit based on a campaign full of lies, ignorance & bigotry. It's also my democratic right to air my opinion on the cause and possible ramifications.

Picking immigrants based on skills is fine, but bare in mind you're then at the mercy of the economy and industry. Australia under a very similar sounding system to the one you mention there has a much higher rate of immigration than we do.

If there were less people there would be less demand on schools, housing, hospitals etc etc but you don't see that because the foreigners pay taxes, are positive contributors and now we just need to invent an answer to infrastructure.

Go on call me a racist bigot because that's what people like you do when you don't like what's being said. Unfortunately for you, America, the UK have spoken and others will follow. I'm working in Holland today and spoke with a guy who I hadn't met before and his comments mirrored what has been said in UK. Bigots find Bigots go on tell me.

If there are less "foreigners" here, then as net contributors, there'd be less money in the pot wouldn't there? Think about it. Austerity is crippling our public services, not foreigners.

I didn't call you racist. I called you a bigot and I fully stand by it, you've even admitted as such yourself in that last line.

Are you really of the opinion that the oldies of Britain voted for Brexit to facilitate a brighter future for generations to come?

The same older people who get on a bus (for free) then expect the younger generation (who pay) to give up their seats for them.

The same older people who have a triple lock regarding pension increases.

The same older people with their winter fuel payments & their free T.V. licences.

The same older people with their blue badges & brand new cars.

Their generation has never, NEVER, had it so good, it's just a shame they don't remember what it used to be like for the older generation.

What it used to be like - give me a break, when?

Was it the twenties & thirties - I very much doubt it.

The forties maybe - don't mention the war.

The fifties with the hangover from the war, fantastic.

The only logic to it all is, they're determined to give the young a taste of the good old days.

It's already been pointed out to you, in very simple terms, that immigrants are net contributors to the UK economy; for the hard of thinking, that means it's an actual fact that they contribute more than they take out - like your friend who comes to the restaurant and chips in the same proportion of the bill as you, even though he didn't have a starter or any wine...

I know it's difficult to have your fundamental beliefs undermined, but when you form those beliefs based on the dogma spouted by Ukippers and the Daily Mail, that's what can happen. Facts are a bit of a pain like that.

The latest dog whistle nonsense from May's Tory party, is to blame the funding crisis in the NHS on Johnny Foreigner and as such, require clinicians to become migration officials and demand passports from certain dusky or swarthy types, before they administer treatment. That's a convenient way to swerve the chronic underfunding of the NHS under the Tory austerity years - austerity which has hit the poorest hardest, but has had no measurable impact on the national debt. Why don't they just give us the £350 million per week that Boris promised for the NHS during the Brexit campaign - problem solved?
