So you moved away from a densely populated area to go live in a nicer one.....yet you support policies that will deliberately increase the population size at an unsustainable rate.

.....Typical.

yeah what a c*** Kermit is for thinking that people fleeing war and persecution (arguably brought about in part by British foreign policy) should be offered refugee status.

British foreign policy partly responsible for Syrian civil war.

Heard it all now. Some people really need to read up on these matters before posting s***e.

Sorry I forgot Syria is the only country to ever have refugees.

It is interesting that when the s***show that is the government's carrying out of withdrawal is brought up the thread fills with anti immigration rhetoric and ad hominem attacks rather than the minutae of Brexit itself.

I wonder why.

Something tells me that if Britain had become militarily involved in Syria you would be dead against it and complaining about it.

Some people will damn you if you do and damn you if you don't....partisanship fuels them more than the rights and wrongs of particular issues.

Personally I was very much for Syrian intervention.....but your Labour party ensured that it wouldn't happen in Pariament.

The state of Syria now is partly down to the space that decisions like that left for actors like pro Assad Russia to fill.

And how did the EU's foreign policy approach differ from the UK's?

And I concur with Stirling. Your sort would have got out your 'not in my name' placards if troops were deployed to Syria.

I agree the Tories are starting to fudge Brexit. We should just get out. The Tories will probably dump May and get someone in who will get on with it.

Matthew you and evidence have never been comfortable bedfellows.

If you want to believe all folk who relocate from a frenetic and polluted city to a cleaner and healthier lifestyle environment are all doing it because of their distaste for foreigners be my guest. Just makes you look even more foolish and narrow minded than you already are which is no mean achievement.

Btw Exeter voted to Remain and 45% of my town did too. Explain that.

ONLY because it is a Labour council and has a Labour MP my friend. If you come a little bit further down to Plymouth where I live you will find most voters here voted OUT and we have two Tory MP's the third MP was voted in for Labour due to the student population stupidly thinking that their fees would be free What a gullible lot they turned out to be in the end. They cut their own throats as they voted in Plymouth as well as their home cities which has been picked up by the voting commission and the rules will change at the next general vote. Corbyn will have a shock when all the "brainy" students will not vote for him due to all of his lies which is coming out more each day. Corbyn's con will gradually finish him off I am afraid.

 


Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

How long did it take you to dig up that two year piece of cr@p. Things have moved on since that was printed.
You should stick to your little part of Europe and get what you can WHILE you can!

What could UK soldiers possibly do in Syria apart from getting wiped out.

Only Russia is there as they have bases there.

These days are over for the UK.

Why don't you and Stirling go to Aleppo and sort the civil war out yourselves?

UK is at least the sixth most powerful military force in the world and some recent studies put us second behind the USA.

How's your intestines doing?....I thought I'd ask seeing as you have your head so far up your backside you'd be able to write an article on them.

But as far as your thoughts on Syria....I'll pass.

Doubt that but in any case nuclear submarines are of no use in places like Syria.

I very much doubt 2nd in the world but although getting rather close to not true, us and the US are the only NATO countries that contribute our 2%.

John McDonnell doesn't think there will be a run on the pound or capital flight, so need to get so many red knickers in a twist then, although he is planning for such occurrences. Pity Gordon Brown didn't see such economic possibilities the same way.

So 500,000 have died in the UK since the referendum, nearly all oldies, and 500,000 have turned 18 too in that time too.

Be very interesting if there was a second ref in a year or so. Leave would be battered.

Some stat is out there on us having by far the highest percentage of young people in the EU being pro EU. Isn't so in those south European fvcked up economies. If they were invited en masse into post graduate jobs in the same way Poles were by Labour, I'd like to see their reaction. No more big cars on HP, waving 'I'm European, not British' flags on the dole.

Does the half a million include under 18s blown up by people who have absolutely nothing to do with Islam?
