There are a lot of good reasons to leave the EU but this whole brexit thing has turned into a racist shitstorm.

It's pretty awesome misdirection. It's kinda like stealing someone's wallet and then just as you get caught you should "Oh my god, that man just called that other man a n***er" and then skulking off as the crowd erupts into a mass brawl.

personally I think immigration is a problem in Britain but its more of a problem that if you ever say that you get called a racist when it has nothing to do with race

I hope the UK leaves the EU. Then Scotland leaves the UK and joins the EU as a "gently caress you".

The perfect scenario would be this except the EU decides that Scotland is less desirable than Turkey and won't let them in.

They'd give Scotland a list of things to change as requirements for joining like Turkey got. Item one would be letting women play golf, at which the Scots would abandon the idea of joining.

Here is something that may be of interest. Countries that put into the EU vs those that take out.



Out of 27 member states only 11 put into it. The rest take all our tax money.

If the money went to the citizens that would be fine but the Greek money is going to repay German bankers who lent them money.

Let me lay some truth on you fine folks. Any union is doomed to fail without a political union. The European Union cannot work unless the individual countries give up their sovereignty to a central government. Because people are racist and tribal this can usually only be done by force.

2. Britain lost WW2. The only winners were USA and USSR. Britain will never again be a relevant power and needs to accept this.

There is only one solution. The US, Britain, Canada, Australia and NZ join into an Anglo Union with a common currency and Washington in charge, with regional governors in London, Toronto, etc. Buy out the local elites like the royal family, and divide up the other English speaking countries into new American states. The population will bitch, but being dominated by white english speakers in Washington will be more acceptable then dealing with the Germans, French, Turks, Poles, etc. From there a United America can conquer the earth. It's the only path to a glorious one world government.
