Pyro as Bill said:

Everyone thinks Leavers hate foreigners and want a British Empire 2.0.

We're the complete opposite. Unlike EU-ers we dont want an (economic) empire. We want the best that the whole world can offer and don't want over half of our immigration coming from low skilled eastern europeans (or low skilled western europeans tbf, australia/can/nz get a pass) when we can have Indian doctors and engineers instead.

 

(edit: we're gonna fuck ireland raw. if you want to play silly unnecessary games with the border , fine. we can play games too)

How is leaving the EU going to help with that (especially if we leave with no deal)? In what way did the EU actually stop us getting the best the whole World can offer?

We've always had full control over immigration from outside the EU, and we didn't even apply the controls we had to immigration from the EU. How do you think Brexit and this government which are traditionally anti-immigration (especially May) are going to increase the number of skilled workers coming in?

On Ireland, why do you think they're playing unnecessary games? We decided to leave the EU knowing full well the GFA relied upon the single market and customs unions. These aren't silly games, this is to do with international law. Otherwise, why do any countries have borders at all?
