It is said America's largest export is its culture. Could Brexit be a reflection of the independence that is so deep rooted in American culture?

The UK is a major player in the EU and had a hand in its creation. Why the sudden desire for independence from its own creation especially when it never fully committed to begin with? Has the notion of commonwealth been overturned or was it just something to keep the colonies in line?

Probably has more to do with the fact they are getting fucked over by immigration. Have to deal with shit-tons of terrorist attacks. Just want to live a peaceful life again.

I think the influx of cheap workers like Poles and other Eastern Europeans was a greater decisive factor for moxt Brexit voters than that of Muslims. Although the Muslim terror and Rotherham probably didn't help to win Brits over to #Remain.

Actually, general opinion on Polish is positive, in my area at least. They are very hard workers and they don't blow shit up.

They are very hard workers

That's easy to achieve compared to the fucking English and their (lack of) working ethos.

But they aren't getting fucked by immigration: 300 000 per year into a country of 60 000 000.

The total undocumented population is estimated at 300 000 to 800 000.

Ya. You've shown you have your eyes closed and your ears covered in our last discussion.

Diversity is our strength right?

The EU isn't the biggest reason for the UK over refugees, especially when you recognise they where partly responsible for the whole Iraq/Syria clusterfuck (remember "the smoking gun" theory the UK and USA tried to sell in UNSC to start gulfwar 2 and invade Iraq?). UK's own policy (the reason for the Calais camps) ,their rules for migration from Commonwealth countries and family re-unitment is fucking them over much, much, much more then the EU migrant policy.

Using Anti kebab reasoning to say "we want Brexit" is misguided frustrations used by populists.
