This is an outrage! Why doesnβt that British girl have Pale white skin or Black/Dark Brown hair that is legally required for all British females?(excluding those of non Anglo-Celtic Origin) Iβll be writing to my friend from Wales so he can write to his local council member or MP whatever he prefers about this disgrace to our national pride!

This photo completely miss-portrays the relationship that Britain had with the EU, it is the other way around.

The UK had a privileged relationship with the EU, and if they decide to leave the EU it will not change any of the underlying issues.

The problem is. The EU is a unification of Lobbyist and not of People.

And you think that's a good thing?
The only reason Britain had a strong economy prior to WW2 was the Empire, and plundering the resources of 1/3 of the world. After WW2, most of the colonies bought (literally) their independence, as the war broke the bank.
Until the UK joined the EU (or EEC as it was known then) in the 70s, they were flat broke. Turns out a small island on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean can't fare too well for itself without stealing from everyone else.

..... and after they got their independence, those same colonies became best friends with Britain again as part of the Commonwealth of Nations.
After joining the EU on the promises of it being a trading bloc, and not an autocratic erosion of national sovereignty, the UK was forced to reduce their ties to the Commonwealth, including cutting the visa-free travel and many of the other benefits.
In the meantime, the Commonwealth of Nations have grown more important, with a potential market of 4 times the size of the EU, with twice the political bloc voting power. Without the EU keeping them back, the UK can re-establish the close ties that were previously enjoyed and benefit from being a vital member of the Commonwealth again.
Also, in the meantime, the EU nations have been steadily becoming economic basketcases, the Mediterranean members being in particularly atrocious mess, Germany's banks tottering on the verge of failure from trying to hold the rest of them up, a steady stream of so-called "refugees" (who are mostly young fit men of military age) are pouring in, and Sweden has become the rape capital of Europe.

Oh look, another one who has zero idea what they're talking about.
The EU is autocratic you say? Please tell me how it can be autocratic (one person has full control ) when there are 750 elected MEPs, plus the EU Commission who are selected by said MEPs? I'm waiting.
And surely the reason for the Commonwealth growing is nothing to do with how they have more than double the number of members of the EU, surely not. Also, you continue to demonstrate your pure idiocy by claiming the Commonwealth has 'twice the political bloc voting power'. Funny that, considering the Commonwealth isn't a political union in any way shape or form.
But please, show me how the UK was FORCED by the EU to reduce trade and immigration with the Commonwealth, considering the EU has no influence over immigration policy of it's members when dealing with nations outside of the EU.
And look again, another one calling 'coward' over people fleeing from Syria. If you're so brave, why don't you go and volunteer to fight ISIS then? I bet you think they're obviously liars because they have smart phones too. But guess what? You only think they're expensive because you buy new ones. Old smart phones, especially the earlier generations, can be bought for as little as $US30. Not so expensive now, are they? And considering they have wifi and GPS functions, they are very useful devices all around for very little money.
Also, Sweden has very strict laws around sexual assault. They were one of the first countries in the world to legally recognise marital rape, plus it is not an offense to sell sex, but it is to buy sex. Also, in Sweden there is much less 'rape shaming' by the authorities. Even in the UK, there are quite a lot of voices who say 'Well don't dress like a slut if you don't want to get raped' etc etc etc. So as a result, Sweden has many more actions that are considered rape, plus rape survivors are more likely to report rape.
Studies have shown that in countries with higher levels of gender equality, victims of sexual harassment/assault are more likely to report it. 81% of Swedish women reported being a victim of sexual harassment at least once, with 75% of women in France reporting the same. But naturally, your first instinct was to blame immigrants, instead of examining Swedish law and culture. So in summary, Sweden has a broader spectrum of sexual crimes, and people are much more likely to report a sexual crime than in other countries.

Your MEPs don't propose legislation. It's given to them by the commissioners, who get it given to them by the bureaucrats, after it was created in backroom deals behind closed doors with zero public discussion. It's all top down instead of the other way around. That's autocratic. When those laws are brought to the European parliament to be voted on, the MEPs - which were elected - have NO SAY in changing that legislation, NO SAY in proposing anything better. So what is their role exactly? They're the ones who rubber-stamp these topdown, handed-down new laws, all for the charade of a democratic veneer over an essentially autocratic system.
The President of the European Union is unelected. He's appointed by deal-making behind closed doors again, with none of the elected MEPS having any say at all in who he is.
You're trying to play down the rape statistics dishonestly. According to you, with your attempts to fluffily redefine what rape might be in Sweden by claiming it's something else, it must be a wonderfully safe country for women - so why is that the women living there don't think so? How does the definition of rape in Sweden not actually rape, can you be specific about which cases how many are rapes and how many are just forcibly gang-groping her (like notoriously happens in Germany these days)? If some guy sexually assaults a woman by force, I consider that wrong, don't you? Sweden is the number one rape capital of Europe according to the official statistics, all you're doing is denying reality. The Swedish authorities have been repeatedly caught out trying to hide the real rape incident rate, the police not reporting many cases, the media not reporting many cases, because of the whole silly unfair political-correctness attitude that refuses to stick to the truth; most of the rape perpetrators in Sweden are dark-skinned male immigrants and most of the victims are blonde Swedish women.
Ask the Syrian refugees, they'll tell you that most of the people claiming to be Syrians aren't. They're from other places and are lying. It's apparently around a 7:1 ratio of non-Syrians to actual Syrians. The corporate mainstream media have been presenting a false image of pretending that these so-called refugees are families on the run, but nearly all are men. They pay huge sums to the people smugglers (so they must have lots of it), and they carry NEW smartphones, new ATM cards, they're fit and young and often very violent. They have apps which they can check to get past border checks. The authorities in the EU claim it would be racist to not believe a huge guy with a beard when he says he's 14 years old.

I could barely read your post due to the tears in my eyes...from laughter.
How many times have you said 'back room deals' now? I lost count. Did your tin foil hat wear off again? Also, you're just utterly wrong about pretty much everything you've said here. For a start, MEPs must approve the selection of the President.
And here's a little lesson for you. If a country counts picking up dropped money from the floor as theft, you'd expect that country to have a higher number of reported thefts, due to people 'stealing' money from the floor. Also, you have no way to prove who the attackers and victims are in Sweden, since official reports do not include the ethnicity of anyone involved. Also, you think the government is trying to 'cover up' the incident rate? Considering it's listed as being drastically increased. If they're covering it up, they're doing an awful job at it. And as I said, Sweden has an unusually high reporting rate compared to many other countries, where 'you probably deserved it' type culture is still prevalent. And I never denied what the statistics claimed, what I am challenging is the source of those statistics.
So where do you get your information that there are 7 non-Syrians per Syrian refugee? Seems like you just made that up. Also, you are aware that Syria isn't the only country where ISIS is a problem, right? Actually, you probably don't know that, seeing as you want to focus on Syria. For your information, ISIS are also highly active in Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Jordan. You claim they page huge sums, how much is that exactly then, hm? And how do you know they have much money left over? Oh wait, you don't know that, as there is no possible way for you to know. And please, show me proof that they use brand new smartphones, and not an older model. Most smartphones look very much alike to me, so you must be a super-expert at identifying a phone by sight. So go on then, give me irrefutable proof that most of the refugees are carrying current generation smartphones, and not older model phones.
And how do you know they carry new ATM cards, hm? Have you been checking their wallets or something? And what apps are they using to cheat border checks then? And where did you get your example of a super-buff guy with a massive beard saying he's 14 and being believed? Oh wait, I know exactly where you got that idea: out your ass.
So you carry on believing that they're all fakes, all violent, probably all jihadis, and all lazy. I guess only lazy, violent types are the ones who help build sandbag walls in England during the floods we had last year. Oh wait, that's not what lazy and violent people do now, is it? And where have you been getting the idea that German women are getting gang-groped on a daily basis? Even the most right-wing blogs I take a peek at didn't have anything about it. Unless there's such a massive media blackout on it that even anti-immigrant social media doesn't know about it?
But somehow you do?

Insults don't make an argument. You need to stick to facts and logic, not bullshit.
Perhaps you don't want a debate but only a bullshit match of screaming insults? It appears that you've already demonstrated that you're not serious about actual debate on evidence and rational discussion.
You're confusing the President of the European Union with one of the other minor ones (the EU has more than one kind of "president"), not the same thing Mr.Tinfoil. The MEPs don't elect the President of the European Union. You'd be well aware of this fact if you actually knew what the fuck you were talking about. I know it's confusing to people such as you who haven't researched this except from a few glances at a Wiki without getting into those nitty-gritty details.
Do you believe the TTIP was made in a public discussion? Gee, wow, can you cite the news stories about all the public debate on it over the years? Yes, that was a backroom deal too. That's what is meant by backroom deal; out of the public eye, dealings done in secret, by persons who don't give a damn about the opinion of the public.
I'll reply to more of silly ignorant horseshit when I get back. Got a lot to do today.

The UK is fucked. Most of Scotland and Ireland voted to remain in the EU, in facts it's just Wales and and England that voted leave.Now the process is already underway for Scotland to arrange another independence vote to separate themselves from the UK and NI is considering leaving as well, reunifying with the rest of Ireland. That and the fact that Nigel Farrage has gone back on all his promises isn't good, which is the main reasons a lot of people voted to leave in the first place; turns out the Β£350 million spent on staying in the EU WON'T go to the struggling health system, only a small fraction will. Also, we're still bound by a lot of EU laws and nothing will be done about immigration, as they'll still have to let them into the country. Top that off with the fact that the value of the pound fell over 10% in just a few hours and that this entire thing is just the baby boomers fucking over the millennials one last time, this is the beginning of end for the UK. Also, London, the capital of the country and the place that generates the majority of the nations income is considering leaving the UK and becoming a city-state, as 70% voted to remain and city-hall has declared they see the government as dysfunctional

Quite a few staunch opponents to independence are now backing the idea. It seems that for some at least, membership of the EU trumps being a part of the UK.
This could also affect Northern Ireland, as a part of the Good Friday Agreement meant that everyone in Northern Ireland could have either an Irish citizenship, British citizenship, or both. However, with the UK now leaving the EU, the previously open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland will now have border control. What affect this has on how the Northern Irish can choose their citizenship remains unseen.
Either way, there have been calls for a referendum on Northern Ireland ceding from the UK and becoming a part of the Republic of Ireland.

Those who wanted to leave are keeping quiet, so you won't hear much from them since if you say you wanted to leave, people get pretty nasty.
And you may have heard that Β£350 million a year may not go back to the economy? Well no, it won't until the UK has formally left, so they weren't lying there. xP

That, and how much of that money 'saved' will have to be sent to the EU anyway to keep access to the Common Market? Probably most of it.
Not to mention, Farage said on live television the morning of the result, that promising that money for the NHS was 'a mistake'. Despite it being splattered across a campaign bus.
