incredibly stupid people with fears like immigration
I've yet to hear an intelligent argument in favor of mass immigration, especially for a densely populated country like the UK. So, "stupid" to me is forcing a country with millennia of fairly consistent demographics to rapidly [0] turn into a squabbling Middle Eastern/North African/South Asian aggregate. Stupid. And by stupid, I mean stupid to the point of being utterly baffling.
[0] By historical standards. Britain is being re-settled a lot faster than North America was for instance. That took hundreds of years.
- tomp 10y agoI'm not saying that arguing against immigration is stupid... Just that the way Brexit was arguing was devoid of any real factual data or rational arguments. They were playing purely on people's emotions. I agree, partially. Mass immigration is almost never a good idea. However, the populations you pointed out aren't from the EU so have basically nothing to do with Brexit.

- matthewmacleod 10y agoThere is no mass immigration into the UK. That's the lie, I think.
