my mum describes JC as slimy Jeremy Corbyn and during a political chat said to me "why should I take any notice of anyone that looks like you?" (I have long hair and a beard)

Not specifically, just a general comment about political refugees. I expect they’re all parasites in your eyes though, so don’t worry.

as someone that left my country to start a new life in a different country, i can understand why people do it, just do it legally. i will let your snarky comment slide
 
Don't knock genuine refugees guys..........Thats not right. If their plight is genuine of course. Sadly it is the others, the ones that want to slip in by the back door who are not genuine.....and their organisers.

This mess having been created by Cameron caving in to grant a referéndum when there was no need. However, políticos like Farage aided by others wormed away at the emotional mindset of people which worked wonders in "Leave" winning the vote. It is the same with Catalunya´s problem. Catalunya is the most prosperous autonomy in Spain, and compared with other regions, the economic crisis was no where near as severe but Catalan separatists have wormed away at the minds of people in arguing the need for Independence through access to the media (a number of channels broadcast in Catalan) that resulted in the farce of a referéndum, with the PP over-reacting through the use of forcé instead of mediating.

The referendum was long overdue. I am stillupset we were not offered a proper say on the Lisbon Treaty that changed the game for our 'integrated'membership of the EU. Had things remained akin to the EEC then I don't believe we would be here today with a deeply divided nation. Some might argue Lisbon was about Euro geo political stabilisation but I rail against the notion of a federalised Europe.

So no the referendum was need.

Oh and BTW I'm not racist or biggoted just because I think in a different way (thats for St. Godders if he is reading this)

The Lisbon Treaty was what actually put paid, finally, to the idea of a federalised Europe.
