How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

[Mr Kobayashi]

I’m asking the poster a question.

Maybe you should let them answer?

I'm asking you a question. Were you wrong to vote for Brexit to reduce immigration? When immigration has increased since brexit.

I didn’t vote for brexit to reduce immigration.

I didn’t vote for brexit to reduce immigration.

So you want more migrants?

Who do you support by the way Natalie.
Just wondering.

Manchester City, and you?

How do you think Portugal or Spain would fair outside the EU.
Better or worse?

Much worse, but the situation is incomparable. My country was literally sinking before EU rescued (more or less) us.

I can't believe there are 543 pages on "does anyone think Brexit is a winner?".

It might be a good idea to lock this thread and re-open it after Brexit has happened - perhaps several years after, as any potential improvements won't occur the next day.

Brexit was all about getting control of our laws & our borders & our money, get back to me when that has happend.

Can I ask which country is your country?

 

[Saddleworth2]

Happy days then yes?

You want more migrants.

You do want more migrants don’t you?

The more we get in Scotland the better.

Want doesn't even come into it. As an aging population we need them. Having said that there is a (sensible) conversation to be had around control and criteria for immigration, but because idiots at both ends of the debate keep weaponising the issue for their own ends we can't do it.
Some people seem to imagine the country is split as per the Brexit vote on immigration, but I think most either welcome immigrants or don't care. Unfortunately the loudest voices are the rw/facist ones who want to send them all back and the totally unfettered free movement loons.

Where skill gaps exist, absolutely I do.

I’ve always argued for control via a points based system similar to Australia or Canada etc.
