Rant time.

Hey #Brexit people, or those who don't like #immigration, those who think that immigrants are #TakingOurJobs, I have words for you;

They're not. Those jobs were never going to be yours anyway.

Really want to know why they get all the great jobs and you don't?

#FBPE
Immigrants have guts. We're talking about people who pack up their lives and head to a completely new country. People who, the moment they step off the plane, know they have every pillar of security, whether welfare or mum's couch, knocked out from under them.
Immigrants have confidence. They know that, wherever they're going, they'll do well for themselves. Whatever job they're going to, they're going to knock it out of the park, whatever it might be. Because to an immigrant, their skill and ability is their security.
Immigrants aren't usually assholes. These are people who are comfortable with people of different nations, beliefs and cultures, people who have likely seen more of the world in an average year than you have in your entire existence. Your average immigrant can get on with anyone.
Immigrants are smart. They usually speak a few languages, or at least two, which is one and a half more than you, Brexiteer. They can adapt to a life in a different place quickly, find what they need, and build a life from scratch without having been born into it.
If an employer sees that someone is an immigrant on their CV, even without reading the whole thing, he knows all the above.

Opposite, he has you. Someone who moans that "his" job that "he" is entitled to is being "taken", because you don't have to earn the best jobs, do you?
Someone who's dumb enough to fall for anything Farage says. Someone who thinks that being born in Britain is in itself a qualification that makes you better somehow.

So yeah, you probably can't compete with the immigrant, Brexiteer.

You could, you know, up your game a bit...
...do something at the Open University, try to increase your skillset, learn something else useful.

But heaven forbid you actually learn how to do the hard and complex jobs. No. A better option whine, complain, sulk and piss your pants until you get a racist PM to ban them...
...which results in these sorts of catastrophes...

independent.co.uk/news/science/b…
...and stuff like this...

irishnews.com/magazine/scien…
...or even this...

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
...so basically, your own lack of ambition, drive, and intelligence is a problem you've now managed to inflict upon your entire country.

Shut the hell up about patriotism, about loving your country, or about believing in Britain.

The fact is you're useless, you know it...
...and you need the nanny state to come in and "fix" the job market so the best and brightest are thrown out. As if you could even do any of those jobs.

They'll just stay vacant, an deepen the skills gap further.

Then the companies will move their operations out or fold.
The damage you've done here, to your country and the future of its people, is unforgivable. The fact it stems from a blend of xenophobia and self-entitlement makes it all the worse.

Get the union jacks and fucking lions out of your avatars. Replace with a white flags and mice.

So I made this thread the other day on the perilous state of the UK and the behaviour of certain high-profile figures (Rees-Mogg, Farage) towards EU27 citizens living in the UK.

A few people said "Don't be so dramatic". So how bad is it really?

Thread.

In 2016 a vote was held which was subject to foreign interference by a hostile foreign power.

I refer of course to the 2016 US presidential election.

Putin's candidate won. But the "victors" could protest they won all they liked. They could use any slogan they wanted....
...the US legal system swing into action.

Now, less than two years after that election, at least two people have gone to prison, several people are cooperating with the FBI, there have been guilty pleas, and at least 36 people indicted.

And it's not even over yet.

Can I have the attention of people who voted for #Brexit, liberal Leavers, Lexiteers, and people with concerns about national sovereignty.

Please, stop supporting this now. This entire thing has gone too far. Please read this thread, I'm begging you.
In the past few days we've had two very prominent Brexit advocates come out with absolute poison concerning EU nationals living in the UK. First there was
@Nigel_Farage.

Then @Jacob_Rees_Mogg comes out with this.

Make no mistake, these men are now openly advocating ethnic cleansing. If the UK were actually at war with the EU, these threats would be considered war crimes.

To my #FBPE friends, in the event of a #Peoplesvote, please let's not rerun the last referendum campaign and end up with #Brexit again.

We love Europe, we shouldn't be half-heartedly defending it, we should be enthusiastically promoting it.
Wrong:

"It's not perfect but we're better in than out."

"Hardworking EU immigrants are essential to our country."

"Inside the EU we can veto laws and things we don't like, outside we can't."

"We can negotiate hard to get what we want in Europe, outside we can't."
Right:

"It's not perfect but it's bloody good."

"It gives us the freedom to work, learn, love & live in an entire continent."

"EU courts give us an extra option to hold our government to account, giving us more control over our own lives."

"The EU are our friends and allies."

No, that caller represents the majority.

What singles him out is the fact he's honest and isn't afraid to look as stupid as he is.
Most people you meet, most who suddenly have a revelation about the single market or the facts on immigration, they're just nodding. It's what people do. Nod, avoid an argument, and go about their day. Those who'll actually make their case (Leave or Remain) are a rarity.
This is what terrifies me about this whole "People's vote" business. If you're deeply buried in the data and information then it's easy to see that Leaving is going to be a disaster.

If you're not, a few things cost a bit more and that's all. Until it happens it's a non-event.

If we vote for anything except for Corbyn's Labour we're Tories, apparently.

I think; No. In fact I think the reason we've got austerity, Brexit, and nearly ten years of political decay is, to some extent, the fault of the very idiots who say this. Let me explain.
Just over a decade ago the UK had a centrist pro-EU and popular leader in Tony Blair. Anyone remember the guy?

Here he is being "strong and stable" in the face of Farage.

Of course he wasn't perfect. He was Labour leader, yet rich people hadn't been ground into dust. Of course welfare, social service, NHS, police, and other forms of public service spending were ramped up, but still, he didn't eradicate the capitalist pig-dogs. He did all this...

The first calling point of the UK's remainers immediately after Davis's resignation will not be Brussels, it will be Berlin, to have a party.
(1/3) Post #DavisResignation a Berlin-Remain party would include blue flags and "Ode to Joy", and exchanges of a lot of high-fiving and cheering.
(2/3) Similar parties would be held in other key EU nations with Brits living in them.
