But now the UK no longer has the facility to deport asylum seekers back to their original EU access point (I'm not saying they should, but now they simply can't) I'd imagine the EU countries won't stand in the way of folk seeking to cross the channel to claim asylum. Why would they? In addition, looking at it objectively, Europeans will no longer come here to work, learn the language, or see another culture. They filled many jobs which if still present after covid and brexit (all the hotels and bars, coffeeshops and restaurants around central London for instance) will need to be filled by people from outside the EU. This will draw further non EU immigration. I don't mind this at all, provided immigrants try to integrate. I'd take every asylum seeker going who wants to integrate and to work if it were down to me, but I do love talking however briefly to the European people. There were loads in the coffeeshops. They were pleasant, cheerful and highly intelligent, and I'd love if my son or daughter brought one home. Anyhow, that's all gone, and that's a real shame.
On the black Vs white thing going both ways in the southern US, the whites weren't bought and sold as slaves, raped, whipped, murdered, lynched and discriminated against in legislature for hundreds of years. I'll cast judgement on it.
I see supermarkets have told the Government that the Brexit agreement is unworkable for them on many levels. how is Johnson still PM? He is a walking , blustering disaster.
I just didn’t want to trigger a discussion over the origins of this antagonism, which is now known in history. Just trying to illustrate the fact that disliking another ethnicity doesn’t always equal to disliking people from other countries, with a current present example. That being said, if you want to be completely accurate and go farther back in history, the Mediterranean coasts of Southern Europe were regularly raided by “African” slavers (not necessarily black, but also from Arabic origins), who ransacked coastal villages and terrorized local populations for decades (if not centuries) abducting men, women and children. You’ll see lots of villages built atop the hills and watchtowers still, when you travel along the French, Italian, Sicilian, Sardinian and Corsican coasts. To cast the alert when slaver ships were approaching. So humanity being what it is, it does go both ways, from a purely historical stand point.
Those ancient Greeks have a lot to answer for, with their democracy (For the few, not the many), and other crazy notions!
...and it is still perpetuated by various other races/cultures in a number of different forms...suck on that!
Not a glowing start from a German source https://www.ft.com/content/27069111-be39-446f-8cf1-ed216400b171
I have been waiting for a parcel for two weeks now looks like brexit is causing an issue for products to arrive then be sent out lot of products have been out of stock
Yeah but you've got a large portion of sovereignty and a there's a shitload of British fish rotting on the docks so no problem?
Don’t forget the Egyptians and their Pyramids before that. Somebody had to do the heavy lifting for them... Back to topic, I read not long ago that with the global warming, people started to grow vineyards on the British isles and were starting to produce very decent wines. So all is not lost!!!
We have a vineyard near us in Northampton. They produce white wine and a white sparkling. It's expensive and not very good. So if you like to pay over the odds and like mediocre wine then British is for you
I’d love to try British wine, but would rather try and find the good stuff, which there must be, I am sure, but hidden somewhere, secretly kept away from the eyes (and cups) of EU members...
