Soooooo having millions of Brits move to places like India, Somalia ,Kenya, South Africa etc in the 1800s and overwhelm the local cultures and practices it is Colonialism, Racist, Oppressive and Imperialist, but when millions of Indians, Somalis, Kenyans, South Africans etc move to the UK its diversity, multi culturalism and diversity and is good !!!! So how does that work then?
I also note that in the media today that apparently it is racist and xenophobic for white British people to want to protect their heritage and cultural roots and identity, But when its Black or Asian people retaining their dress, culture, habits, customs etc they are seen as celebrating their cultural identity........ even if it displaces the indigenous culture?

good points. Well said

Whichever way the vote goes, there are going to be a lot of people who will range from mildly indifferent to steaming angry. It is not going to end well. No matter what spin our beloved PM puts on it, the country is split on EU membership and it is not going to go back to the way it was. I was rather amused by the reactions to the election in Austria. How could anyone say that a less than 1% point of the vote counted as a "victory". It means that one half of the country is severely ticked off. Not good.

We fought two world wars to retain our FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY and the right to SELF DETERMINATION. Then we fought a long COLD WAR for 70 years to stop us being governed by un-elected, undemocratic, burocratic socialists and totalitarians, The EU is just a new version of the USSR using lawyers and burocrats instead of tanks and guns. If we stay in we may as well not have fought from Talavera, Waterloo, WW1, WW2 or the Cold War because the REMAINS are giving away everything we fought for. VOTE LEAVE

If Britain stays in the EU, I can foresee many of the disgruntled emmigrating to Canada, Australia or the US. I would much rather see Brit expats moving here than the others Obummer is encouraging.

Come to America, get a Green Card, buy a gun legally, come to West Virginia and carry it legally in your pocket. Buy a house out in the country where you can shoot deer eating vegtables in your garden. Enjoy bluegrass and Celtic music and play your bagpipes. Open a pub, we could use a real one around here.

Lots of noise and debate, but probably little solid action will result...To stir us Brits to real action requires BOTH a war that threatens to spread to our shores, AND a charismatic non-politically-correct leader of the country. Its more than 70 years since we saw either.

Charles, your expectation is logical, but the temperament of the average Brit is so stoic that even if the referendum goes in favour of staying in, very few will be sufficiently motivated to pack their bags and leave.

Of course some will walk the walk ( literally) but they will be few in number and will probably already be well advanced in their planning to do so. Also, being British, we are expected by the world to be the receiver of refugees, and our nationalality does not bestow upon us refugee status. So to pack bags and head for Canada or Australia ain't so easy as it seems....those countries do not automatically allow us residence.

Immigration
Labour said we invited skilled workers from the middle east (over 2 million UNSKILLED arrived) Labour said only 14000 Poles would come (1.3 million later) Tories said few Roma will come to the UK (35,000 in a few months later) Tories said "We will get migration down to TENS of thousands" ( It ROSE to over 350,000 last year)............ The Media reports NOW we need 3.2 million new homes........ British families waiting DECADES for council houses......Children facing class sizes of over 40............... 500 new schools urgently needed.... No working class couple can afford to buy a house now.....Social cohesion is breaking down as migrants refuse to integrate....... White Flight continues from our cities, Reports of migrant crime against females rises rapidly..... Reports that up to another 5 million Middle eastern and North African migrants want to come to the UK..... GOp waiting lists grow as more migrants arrive............... VOTE LEAVE before the UK Capsizes,
