I would, except you’re making points that I don’t particularly disagree with, such is your rush to defend someone you see as on your side. I do find it funny that if I were to suggest that immigration concerns were the main reason people voted for Brexit, I have no doubt I would be told that’s ridiculous and unfounded. But if you challenge someone’s given reason because it doesn’t make sense, the justification given is.. immigration concerns. Polls have shown the main reason for people wanting the UK to leave the EU was sovereignty. Immigration came second. Immigration would have been the no.1 choice for many people, depending on circumstances. Nothing wrong with that. The context of this immigration 'back and forth' is because someone mentioned the housing crisis, which is linked to immigration (amongst other things).

I've spent some weeks in West Germany (my older brother was stationed there) and I've been to quite a few places in Europe. What you are saying is hardly unique.

The UK politicians are advantaging one side of society (even though everyone gets to vote) yet the EU.....well, 'it's for the greater good'. Man alive. You talk like straight out of a tabloid Are you the forum mouthpiece for the daily mail?

I point out the obvious issue with your comment and as usual, you have no actual answer, so we get this.

Where do you live? Royston Vasey?

Food in the supermarkets will be cheaper because we have the choice of buying from other world markets. Buying tariff-free fruit and veg from South Africa and Kenya would be much cheaper than Spain or Netherlands, for example. Trading more with Africa will help their people move out of poverty too. And if Spain don't like it, then their fruit growers can lower their prices to compete. It's simple economics – but when has a socialist understood that?! Hee hee Think again When you have the faintest idea what you are talking about we can debate the effect of cash crops on Africa and the need or otherwise for land reform. And after that we can discuss quality control, the use of chemicals, sustainability, self-sufficiency and all the other moving parts in this. FYI, the UK Govt is phasing out subsidies to UK farms. Over two thirds of which are not viable without subsidies. This is all going to go so well.
