well they'd likely vote for less tough border control which I guess skews left. I doubt they'd either be typically right or left on majority of other policies though

Ding, Ding. Bingo.

but then i dont really understand why so many people are against welfare and the like though so personally im not entirely sure why people that aren't rich or at least upper middle class would vote right anyways but there we are

Nah thats not what I mean. But tougher border control could make it harder for them to move their families or friends over though. Or make it harder for them to visit i guess

like a lot of Europeans that were legal immigrants and nationalised - actually voted for Brexit

 

[CakeWalker]

politicians though often lie - and spread falsehoods that immigrants have a hivemind

 

[CakeWalker]

except in the US - that belief is more accepted

 

[CakeWalker]

whilst in Europe - its just seen as propaganda and generally ignored unless your in a group similar to EDL

yeah but in fairness, thats because they're not the brightest lol. there's a town in wales (i forget the name) that received a shit tonne of EU funding and voted for brexit. Fact is 90% of voters had absolutely no idea what they were voting for with brexit lol. and the campaign for it was extremely dishonest in the first place and lots of people fell for the lies and misleading numbers (£350m per week for the NHS was obviously a big one)

Stupid is what stupid does

i had to stop listening to LBC

 

[CakeWalker]

because of the amount of people calling up saying they wished they had voted to stay

 

[CakeWalker]

and asking why the goverment isn't giving them funds they need

 

[Poyser]

Like the big thing was people thought we could "take control of our borders and make our own laws" and that this would make us THRIVE. Whats happened? Shortages of just about everything, skyrocketing prices and phone carriers are bringing back roaming charges

 

[CakeWalker]

like it exists
