Indeed we shouldn't have asked the thick public and just left! Who needs a referendum when the majority want to leave!

You have a point.

The majority of the general public are pretty bloody stupid. And by the word majority I mean 95%, not 52%.

 


Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

Because the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic etc are all increasingly less Eurosceptic? I see a mass movement across the continent to return to sanity.

I don't care what data or poll you use I don't believe a word of it (there is so much disinformation flying around it's scary and people are starting to notice). I guess it's possible that the number of new immigrants (after all, what reason would they have to be Eurosceptic) is outpacing the rate at which people are waking up to the problems in the EU but I still doubt this.

The EU will fail quicker than most people anticipate.

I think the sentiment of your message is more that you want it to fail, to somehow justify the idea that Brexit is some sort of success story, when the entire world can see the catastrophe and you try and claim that other countries would want the same is beyond ridiculous

It cannot be a success story until it actually happens can it?

Nothing "long winded" needed. Just fact. The remark was not primarily directed not at anyone here, us both included, but at the nature of the tests themselves which can be pretty esoteric. I used us merely as examples of native born Brits.

Your constant chirping about my supposed "lack of knowledge" is really rather facile, especially as I have explained very thoroughly. You seem to have a problem with facts. Do you also support Mr Trump by any chance?

According to national religious surveys, about 5.6% of the population of the Philippines is Muslim, making Islam the second largest religion in the country
That's roughly 10.7million people.

A few mosques are located in Cebu City, including the Cebu Muslim Mosque located in Mambaling and the Green Mosque located alongside Creekside Street. The Cebu Muslim Mosque can be " EASILY SPOTTED" on the road leading to Labangon and faces the Shopwise Mall across McDonald’s.

In those several years that you lived with that diverse culture, did you by any chance notice what any of those 10.7million did on a Friday?

Google is your friend today? Mine is personal knowledge.

The Cebu Mosque is the place I remember best. It is a very big and obvious building and I have passed it many times. As it was always busy on every day of the week and I was more concerned about getting through the very heavy traffic, I cannot say I particularly noticed whether Fridays were exceptional.

Satisfied, or do you still want to continue making daft "points"?

From all I have read they were mostly British men, albeit from a pakistani background, although various other backgrounds were involved. So what do you actually want to do? Introduce special rules on the acquisition of British citizenship for Muslims, or maybe just for pakistani men. How would that make the other, law abiding citizens in that community feel? What would the impact be? Would it create further divide or make things better?

We need to punish criminals and not either nationalities or religions. Everyone now accepts that you don't judge people by their colour so why do it for other arbitrary reasons?

So if by "these" people you mean the criminals I agree. If you mean anything else I don't.

Well, I would not have had them here in the first place and I would have been right.

Given that the folly of our government's policy is history, I have already said that I would deport second generation immigrants if they commit a serious crime. The current system might not easily allow for that but as I have said, It would have to be part of the agreement with any country from which immigrants arrive or they would not be permitted to settle here.

As the situation stands I would give them 30 days to leave Britain and revoke their citizenship. Just because you call yourself British and have a British passport or are born in Britain, it does not mean that anyone else sees you as British.
I could move to Africa and have sons and they would not be African to other Africans, especially if they grew up and started raping the local girls.

Well it won't be because there is no strategy or plan post Brexit and the people steering the ship are the same ones who made a pigs ear of Brexit. All you have is hope and to be honest I reckon most of you brexiters know it will fail but you have defended that position so far you have to keep going

You have said this a couple of times now, why do you think the majority are stupid? I'm sure you are aware that within itself the statement doesn't make sense anyway.

British cultural values are far closer to those of Spain than they are to pakistan so very little adaptation is required but most Brit retirees abroad will want British food.

We are fortunate enough to have several overseas holidays a year and the majority of the villa owners that we rent from are British and speak the local language

I think that's becoming more of an outdated concept then it was even 10years ago. Sure the cohort you're talking about are set in their ways, but our generation and lower wouldn't be so 'set' and more open to integration and the host country's way of life

Yes, of course it is I admit that...(did I mention you're an arrogant plum) you have been ousted about your knowledge of the the Muslim faith...but as mentioned before- yawn - excuse - me.. not yet admitted to it...

I'm only satisfied when you are baby...

I don't really know to be honest but having spent the Easter fortnight in Lanzarote the restaurants were doing a roaring trade in full English breakfasts. I'm not sure whether that means that Brits abroad like to eat British food as we had a full English twice but never eat that sort of thing at home.

I did smile when I spotted your reference to "our generation" as I have a sneaking suspicion that I am quite a bit older than you

I am not sure why people fuss about eating habits. Food is one area where mixing culture is harmless and often pleasurable.
I don't really expect people to come to Britain and suddenly start eating egg and chips when they have been raised on something different unless they develop a taste for it.
I don't expect holiday makers and retired ex pats to indulge in food they don't like just to fit in.

We Brits have expanded our tases for foreign food dramatically in my life time thanks to immigration but when I go to France for example and see supermarkets with whole aisles of pain au chocolat and peeled rabbits with eyeballs still in their heads on the counter, it makes me want to head for home. Don't get me started on some of the other stuff they serve in French restaurants.

We like what we like.
