    Those are the comparative stats per 1000 workers. Compared to 20% additional productivity per individual worker

    Do the maths Pops ;)

    Sounds as if the anti-EU lot are hoping the flop will be three sixes, then. 666. :emoticon-0112-wonde
    Have they signed up to a pre-Brexit deal already with a certain someone?

    Or provide you with expert medical treatment in our understaffed hospitals (understaffed because they are being royally ****ed up by Tory clowns) or teach any spawn you have (<yikes>) in our understaffed and short-skilled schools (that state because they are being royally et cetera).
    When heart attack or whatever strikes you, it'll be Johnny Foreigner who saves you, believe me. Your role in this society is to clean your own car, mow your own lawn, propel your own sorry white arse to the airport on a bicycle, in fact, any exercise to keep your from wasting the time of our wonderful immigrant friends, who populate all different types of jobs.

    Racist? Toi? <doh>

    I was wading my way through this thread, but superhorns' racist post, quoted above, was too much for me to stomach.

    Ladies and gentlemen, although this is no shock to a living soul, he is a tool.

    Back to ignore.

    I don't agree with the ignore but I can fully sympathise and empathise with you. Alas I feel compelled to read what he says though it is full of logical fallacies, fascist rhetoric (whether he realises or not), and generally ideologically distasteful. Typical I'm alright Jack mentality, quite unpleasant for the most part.

    We have private medical insurance and my children and now my five grandchildren have all been to public schools. I have paid for but do not use much of the state facilities. I pay a very large amount of tax, one way or another, I'm a real asset to society.

    Around here there are fortunately sufficient Johnny foreigners to do all the menial stuff required, they seem grateful enough for the job opportunities, we definitely cannot send them all back.

    I am relieved to know that my opinion of this eejit is shared. Actually I find it hard to believe anyone could be this obnoxious, but then listening to some Tory MP's , well...
    The trouble is, he makes me cross, and really I've got better things to be doing, and more worthwhile things to get cross about than trying to argue with such bigoted views, contemptible prejudice, selective use of facts and, in most if the posts, downright ignorance.
    I shall waste no more time reading this thread. He can argue with himself until he disappears In a black hole.
    I feel better already.

    I suppose the thing that confuses me is how he thinks Luther would react to him if he spouted this racism in front of him. What would Graham Taylor think of a racist like this? SH no doubt wouldn't care.
    Also his delusion that he is the moneybags of this site and that that is something in its own right to be admired anyway. He would be shocked by the former and who admires Mike Ashley (as good an example of monied ****wit as you could hope for)?

    In short, racists self-label as worthless arseholes. I don't have any time for them.

    Money, possessions, racism, themselves and soundbites.

    Sounds to me like all that a certain political party cares for...

    You really are revealing your true colours SH. Or are you just winding up as usual ? Obviously you have succeeded, if some of the answers here are anything to go by. I am sure that you would have no problems whatsoever in being part of some kind of supranational state if it were called something like the British empire (or were, at least English speaking). In other words - your problems with the EU. is that it is not led by Britain, and that you cannot face the shared sovereignty amongst equals which it implies. Your separation of people into catagories such as 'undesirable', or of whole nations as being either criminal or only suitable for menial work, is moving dangerously close to the 'Untermenschen' ideas of the Nazis and is dragging all of your other ideas down with it.

    The problem with your argument is that I have never implied all Romanians are pickpockets or indeed all migrants are only suitable for menial work. Romanians are overrepresented in the arrest figures and many migrants do menial work that locals prefer not to do. Quite different positions.

    I think that the Express must have received a bit of a shock from it's own poll when it discovered that as many people can see what a disaster Brexit will be as think the opposite.
    Today we have also seen the start of the BoJo leadership bid. It is always as well to remember he was fired from the Times for writing untrue articles about the EU, so his return to the red bus slogan shows that he hasn't changed. My guess is that he feels sidelined from the Brexit talks and is trying to raise his profile before the Tory conference.

    I believe next to nothing in that comic, which it is why I find it so surprising that you keep quoting it. At one time it had decent sports coverage, but it seems to have dropped that.

    You put all your kids through public school and you pay wedges of tax, but you don't even own your own home in retirement? Sounds legit.
