It says we should just love other Europeans?
Seems to me that the remain camp want to have a 2-tier system and treat people from outside Europe differently to those from Europe, while the leave campaign would apply the same conditions to all people, regardless of nationality.
Or maybe we want to treat Europeans with respect and not make them feel like second class citizens when they are propping up are social care services and economy.
What good is treating everyone the same if that's based on prejudice and damaging our society!
For the still undecided,forget politics and politicians.
If you think people are people, whatever their colour,creed or nationality.
Don,t vote with anyone of a different view.
Remain!.
The bit about the erosion of national identifies by the EU.Which bit?
It's late I know but that has just sent my brain into overdrive, lol.It's not even what most retainers want though. I suspect if the vote was out or closer integration, it wouldn't even be close.

So it's ok to treat non-Europeans as 2nd class citizens? You don't think there are plenty of non-EU folk propping up our services as well?
Again nonsense.
Fact:
1995: 76,000
2005: 267, 000
2015: 333, 000
Or if you want to look at a shorter time scale:
2012: 177,000 The start of the latest migration trend.
2013: 209,000
2014: 318,000
2015: 333.000 Approaching peak or outliner year?

OMG. Are you actually saying a points system based on educational attainment; financial circumstances and/or a useful prrofession amounts to treating everyone the same? You can't possibly have thought that throughIt says we should just love other Europeans?

OK, maybe not national identities but certainly local ones. Former thriving fishing villages now downtrodden areas with no work opportunities for example.
The likes of Nigel Farage are not an antidote to that.....oh but wait. I've just seen the latest poll. I think Brexit are out of steam.
We do love them individually. I work with Poles, Italians, Belgians and Australians and they're all great.
My concern on immigration is purely to do with numbers. Brits in Spain aren't making it very difficult for young Spaniards to buy property and they aren't undercutting Spaniards for similar work to drive down wages.
This thread was one of the better ones for years in terms of debate before you joined in.
You managed to make me be ashamed of voting In.
I take your point but we can't put the interests of fisherman above the well-being of the overall economy. I know fisherman believe that this should happen but it can't. It's a pity nobody how content the fishermen and farmers were to vote for Thatcher and aporove of a government laying waste to millions of manufacturing jobs. I have no fucking sympathy.OK, maybe not national identities but certainly local ones. Former thriving fishing villages now downtrodden areas with no work opportunities for example.
As City stu said " the Spanish love the Brits", can we not "love the Poles?, the Spanish?,the Turks,?.
What does that say about us?.
Stu,i live in a seaside town,the hotels have staff consisting of Welsh, Polish, Spaniards, English, Romanian,
What binds them all is a pleasant disposition,whatever nationality.
So Stu ,why are young Spaniards working in a stinking climate such as ours?.
