Do you think more people fly back and forth between Britain and NI to work every week than commute across the border in Ireland? You seem pretty content to fuck those people over. Though at least anyone living in the north and working down south got a nice pay bump thanks to the falling value of the pound.
There's Spain and Portugal that are having a real rough time too. It's not so much that I'm worried the UK will face the same issues (largely cus of the seperate currency like you said) but more that I don't like being part of an organisation that hasn't done anything to ease the people's sufferings. And that's ignoring the problem with the EU having a blind eye to the undemocratic crap going on in Hungary. What's the point of the EU if it never actually does anything to help the countries within it? I'm not entirely sure how long it will survive either as so many countries within it seem to hate it. Or they hate Germany which they consider as pretty much the same thing.
So you're solution to the problem is to leave the organisation and not be able to do anything about how it's run instead of staying in it and campaigning for change within it. Leaving is the worst decision in all cases. With the UK leaving they've resigned all rights to try and change the EU. You're essentially leaving something which you think is "unstable" or "in the wrong" to do what it wants and running off into you're own corner to ignore them, or even worse continue to complain about something you volunteered to give up the right to interfere with.
I really wish I could find the video but the day after the referendum channel 4 went around some Northern English town to ask people on the street why they voted how they did and literally the very first guy replied bluntly "Muslims", and went on to say he didn't care about economics or anything like that, it's all about muslims. And that is why we're running off the edge of a cliff.
This is the most ignorant shit.
I think it's got too big to move or change, even the threat of their third biggest payer in (in a system were only three countries actually pay more in then get out) did nothing to move it. The sufferings of 4 large countries have done nothing to move it. The growing rise of far-right in pretty much every country in the EU has done nothing to move. The growing movements in many countries of wanting to leave the EU has done nothing to move it. I'm at the pount where I don't think it can change.
The irony being that Brexit will ensure we see an increase in migration from Muslim countries to make up for lost EU workers.
There's going to be so much surplus cash, everyone gets £39bn.
The UK press/government would never let that happen anyway.
leavers were telling Pakistani communities that leaving would make it easier for their families back in pakistan to move to the uk.
Where does this come from? Polls across Europe show a majority of people favor and are pro EU, maybe not in the way it is now and there will be problems that need to be addressed.
That's already the narrative. If only the EU would recognise Great Britain's errh "greatness" they'd let us have our pie and eat it too.
The ultimate thing driving this poster is their Unionist agenda. I don't know if they actually believe their spiel about the EU, but it's not what's driving their posting.oh for fuck's sake, could you be any more uninformed? Literally every single post of yours has compounded the false information on display. Someone could take the polar opposite of what your posts say and come out with a reasonably accurate picture of the EU.
On "not easing people's sufferings":
All those laws that stop you being worked to death or gouged by companies? The lion's share come from the EU and have had a measurable effect on the quality of life.

On the EU not surviving because "so many countries hate it":
Seriously, take everything you think you know about the EU and assume the opposite is true. It'll save us all a lot of time.
Look at this. We're "down south" (don't even get capitalization, mind) while you shouldn't dare refer to their "country" as "the North". The fact being separated from the UK is "inflammatory" but not the actual country you are attached to speaks volumes.
I don't refer to it as the "North" that's what the other poster did. I've mostly referred to the country as ROI cus Republic of Ireland is a long name but you are right referring to it simply as down south is dismissive. I apologise. I would normally refer to it as Ireland but that can get confusing as some take that as referring to both countries
As an ex-pat of Belfast, fuck off with that shit. Attitudes like yours only propagate that train of thought that divide people.
It's not like the EU is salting the earth and making an example of Britain. All the countries within the EU operate under a certain set of rules, why should the UK get all the perks with none of the downsides? If you want to regulate all your industries and products yourself, then don't expect to sell them to a single market that follows different rules. It's simply obstinance on the UK's part.
