Meh, probably just scribble all over my vote ballot to spite tryhards

FUCK NO LET'S REMAIN GET CALM YEY

[Frumple]

Huh. There... has apparently been an upswing in the london secessionist movement from this? Like. Not a movement based in london. One for the city itself, aiming for independence from the UK. I didn't even know there was one.

... how would that even work?

@Owl: Poor fellow. Could half just call that spiel the immigrant's lament.

[sluissa]

When did this become a referendum on whether or not Britain hates a Romanian university student?

[LoSboccacc]

except that migrant speak is bullshit. I'd like to see what are his opinion if he was in Romania and Romania were to accept 200k syrians.

exactly. drama queening at its best.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Is it possible that a living man could be come composed...entirely of salt?

Science has gone too far!

[Owlbread]

When did this become a referendum on whether or not Britain hates a Romanian university student?

When Britain made its decision almost purely on the basis of racism?

[Sheb]

What are set of dubs?

[Shadowlord]

I think he's being racist against people who don't like dubstep?

Remember, anyone who disagrees is primarily motivated by either racism or fascism.

Owlie: Don't use the word racism, it triggers Covenant.

Covenant: You yourself said that the referendum was largely about immigration. Now, I'm going to assume you're smarter and more honest than the Leave campaign and that you know that the UK got an opt-out regarding migration policy, and is not in Schengen. So if the referendum was about reducing the number of migrants, it could only be about reducing the number of EU migrants, like this student. Or the Leaver had no clue what they were doing.

[Antioch]

So now the only reason to oppose immigration is being a racist?

[Sheb]

No, did someone say that? Because that would be a dumb thing to say.

plenty around here state the referendum was motivated by immigration and the vote due to racism

Nobody said it, but you can just assume that that's what your opponents are saying. Else you might have to actually argue about it!

[Frumple]

Yeah, mostly is probably not the right word. There was also a great heaping pile of lies, apparently, among some varying kernels of actual argument. Seems like there were even some vaguely decent ones, they just were largely drowned out by "immigration" and promises that are looking a lot like they're not going to be able to be kept.

S'kinda' fun in a morbid way, actually. It's taken very little time for some of the leave supporting politicians to start backpeddling rapidly, ehehe. So much for that NHS budget not budging :V

Sweet zeus people, that's not how it works. No, that's not the only reason. Yes, it is a substantial reason many people do. Near as I can tell with UK, it'd have to be a pretty significant one, because most of the things the leave campaign's been saying will improve with less immigrants seem to have basically bugger all to do with immigrants. I guess you could contribute some/most of it to ignorance or gullibility instead? There's probably some folks in there that have some sort of reasoned argument for the opposition, but seeing more of the UK situation as I've been looking at this stuff this mornin' it's looking like a lot of potential avenues for that doesn't just doesn't apply to the UK.
