Brexit...really is a stupid word. As meaningless now as when it was coined up by whichever bite-size pain in the backside coined it up in the first place. It's Britain's exit from the European Union, not that Britain ever really joined in the first place, so its a stupid word as its not a word at all but lazy terminology.
When we speak of Britain, we of course mean England and its adjuncts; long-conquered and colonised Wales, subdued Scotland and the colony in Ireland that never really got much further south and so had to make do with being Northern Ireland. Still two out of three is not a bad hit rate and the English have learnt to live with that, albeit with the worse grace possible.
The real reasons for Britain leaving the EU are not exactly complex but have just not filtered through to the general population; mainly because the people in positions of power who want to leave, DON'T WANT the general population to know the real reasons for leaving the EU. Therefore the reason for leaving has been put down to the need for immigration control and how being part of the EU undermines such control.
Ah immigrants...that favoured old chestnut of an island people. To foam about immigration you need to have a basic and warped perception of nationalism and culture. Of course, Britain was built on immigration; you sort of need it to populate an island and would Scotland be such a pliant partner in the union if it had not be shorn of a sizable chunk of its population through forced emigration (becoming immigrants)? Nope, because the ones left are the ones too weak to put up any resistance.
Naturally in Britain immigrants are feared. From the modern EU, we have the descendants of all those people who fought so hard for Britain during World War Two and were then left high and dry afterwards. The immigrants who come from places that were run into the ground so Britain could have an empire and the immigrants who come every time a ham-fisted British foreign policy bites viciously on some distant country. Hated and feared, all of them.
Of course, they are in Britain to take jobs; which is easily done as they have fewer rights and protections compared to British workers and so rich, greedy employers hire them eagerly as they can then save some dosh not paying for Union agreed hours, wages, insurance and etc.
They are not here for the NHS and welfare state any more as that's nearly dead, of course.
So how can Britain save itself from immigrants? Well, the major problem is what we call Brexit. According to those in favour of leaving, Britain will become a wonderful paradise when it leaves where the streets will be paved in gold and everybody will be lovely and happy and free forevermore in their little land of hope and glory...
Nice, except that will make Britain an absolute magnet for immigration. Think about it, if Britain becomes this great land of honey and dew and sugar rock candy, then that's exactly the place people will want to be. They'll come in their droves and what is more they will come illegally which will mean you'll never be too sure how many immigrants are in the country at any given time. Unless of course you're prepared to watch every inch of the coastline 24/7, but even at that...
So if Brexit happens and Britain becomes the place the leavers want it to be then it will totally defeat the purpose of anti-immigration which is the main reason the general population voted to leave the EU. Britain will be viewed as the ultimate destination for ALL immigrants.
Ergo if you are anti-immigration then Brexit must kill Britain; the country must be reduced to a sniveling pile of wretched putridness, far below the degradation of even the most poverty stricken Third World country. It must be the worst place on Earth; the last place people escaping war and poverty want to come to. That is why for Brexit to truly work it must destroy Britain.
Yet fear not little foaming outsider haters, the ruin of Britain began well before it decided to leave the EU now...
Bisson.
