kin lol, by the most childish post in on this topic.

tit!

Having seen it fifteen times today I can confirm its also a copy and paste job.

yes you would, you are at least discriminating against everyone who isnt british. (Thats discrimination against the 660 million who currently have the right to live here)
then if you use an australian type system, you are discriminating those with the wrong education and those who cant speak english.

Now you may think that level of discrimination is a good thing and you are perfectly entitled to think and argue that, but to argue that its not discrimination is very silly.

If you were ever an employer (let's face it, it's unlikely), would you class it as being discriminatory towards the thick people if you chose the best candidate?

Whenever Cameron & Osborne, with the assistance of Goldman Sachs, decide what it's going to be.

Had a conference call with Goldman Sachs today - should have asked them.

If anything should convince you to vote leave, it should be to stop this TTIP that the EU is negotiating in secret.

We were talking about immigration and as British people wouldn't be part of that process but all people who wished to move here for whatever reason could be treated the same. I wouldn't argue for a points based system either and we don't really need one either.

British people are part of that process, as at least 3 million of them currently live permanantly outside the UK and I am assuming they would be treated differently than the rest of the worlds population as and when they move back. As would the 65 million brits who could move abroad and then decide to move back. Thats discrimination. It may well be fair to discriminate on that basis but its still discrimination.

As for the rest of the worlds population, you would have to have some selection criteria (unless you want to draw lots) and that selection would be a form of discrimination. Again it may well be fair to discriminate on whatever criteria is used, but its still discrimination.

Had about 3 phone calls from the remain camp this afternoon trying to persuade me to vote for them. Seems a bit strange. You'd have thought if they wanted to make a difference they may have called before I had already voted.

Since most of the immigrants that seem to piss brexiters off are the ones who do unskilled , low paid , minimum wage menial work such as sports direct and the like .
So with that in mind , how would the Australian points based system work exactly ?
Would we be bringing highly skilled people from all over the world to work these minimum wage unskilled jobs ?
Or would we stop training our own young people, cut university and college courses and let them do the shit jobs and bring in all our doctors , lawyers and engineers from abroad ready trained ? .
I suppose with that option we could save on schools as well , just teach them enough to be obedient factory fodder just like the good old days

No you silly sod it's a case of supply and demand and its pretty basic logic, if sports direct have people desperate enough to work for less than minimum wage,have to piss in a bottle and be generally treated like shit they will continue to do this. If however they are struggling to find employees what do they do? They can't recruit from abroad so they have to make the job more palatable, better wages better enviroment. not rocket science

Like 95% of the world?

The rest of the world discriminates so we should too....cool are we going to base all our decisions on what the rest of the world does as well?

I doubt you have, as its illegal to campaign on the day of an election.

so if you have you need to report them to the police.

Wouldn't be the first on the left to say democracy isn't working when they aren't in power to be very fair.

Just wondered how one could feel disenfranchised in the UK, but think one was represented to better effect in Europe. Or to put it another way. If the UK government fucked up the NHS and the NHS was so important to the electorate, they would get voted out in the next election. If the EU decided to fuck up the NHS, you would be asking whose MEPs to support it? Greeks? Germans? French? None of them would give a toss.
