One of the main things Scotland was scared with during the independence referendum was "you won't be a part of the EU!"

The entirety of Scotland votes to remain in the EU. We have effectively been dragged out of the EU by England.

Next independence referendum when????

[rtil]

might as well

also bye bye cameron

it sounds like the reaction is mostly negative and the future of the UK is up in the air

but one thing i don't get is the "thanks white people" reaction - isn't the UK mostly white? so white people would have been mostly responsible for the outcome either way. unless i'm mistaken but i'm pretty sure i'm not

[Unless]

This isn't my forté by any means, but I imagine this'll mean increasing prices generally for Ireland, what with UK being our primate trading partner after gaining Independence from their tyrannical rule and all that.

out of all the arguments ive seen so far i havent seen this "white people" reaction once and theres a lot of arguing going on. i have however seen people interviewed who apparently didnt realise what they were voting for but voted anyway (leave, means LEAVE????? i didnt KNOW!!!)

From what I've seen, since one of the biggest issues of brexit was the issue of immigration, the backlash against "white people" was that the results of the vote benefited the interests of the group of people who made up the highest population of the UK rather than those who couldn't have contributed to the vote but possibly would've benefited from the previous system of immigration. Basically, possible immigrants couldn't vote for something that could've benefited them, and recent citizens who had immigrated were outnumbered.

stuff like this



these are probably not UK citizens so that's probably why. that or it's only on a certain part of the internet on twitter/tumblr

i know that's nigel farage of UKIP in the background, guess it makes sense he would have been in the "leave" camp

so the only thing i have heard regarding immigration is that the UK will no longer be required to take in displaced people from Syria etc but wouldn't it still be possible to migrate there? and the people who are already in the UK won't have to leave, either? at least i'd hope so

A.K.A. Direct democracy (not saying it's an inherently good system but it's the most neutral we've come up with so far).

White people are over-represented in this picture, but I guess caring about Europe is a pretty "white" thing to do. America has a race complex so of course we'd make everything about race.

Newsflash: reservations toward immigration aren't inherently xenophobic. Mainland Europe isn't in a minor crisis because of an influx of people who "don't look like them", it's in crisis because there is a mass migration of people who were never asked:
"Question 37: Are you willing to assimilate and abide by European laws and social mores?"

Liberals and Leftists don't understand this because their policy is as shallow as they tend to be. It's time for them to decide whether they care more about not being labeled "teh racist!" by their cyptoChristian deities, or if they're actually at all interested in preventing actual rape and molestation of the women and children whose interests they claim to carry at heart.

I've linked a video in another thread about how it might be possible to educate these people, but I guess that would take actual effort compared to just spreading your supranational legs and letting your country's most vulnerable people bare the brunt of your indiscretions in the name of virtue signaling (here's looking at you, Angel).

I have and will never understand the line of reasoning that leads people to define altruism as opening your (southern) borders and allowing anyone to waltz in and partake in the oppressive Capitalist strugglefield (slave labor and counterfeiting in the case of many migrants) rather than negotiating with the countries these people are fleeing from and perhaps helping make them less corrupt, but I guess that would be impossible without accusations of imperialism. Isn't the primary reason these migrations from Central America, the Middle East, and Northern Africa are taking place because the countries there won't put the interests of their own citizens first? How are we any better than them or helping anyone by succumbing to national cases of Williams–Beuren syndrome?

For all these reasons and more I say Godspeed, Crumpetstan.

but immigration/assimilation is only part of the picture of britain leaving the EU. it was put at the forefront to garner support for leave was it not? that seemed to be the precursor to most native british wanting to leave the EU. the economic issues are more immediately pressing.
