Brexit Vote Direct Result Of Merkel's Immigration Policy

[gwb-trading]

Not only am I correct about the rural urban divide in this vote, the demography paints an even more damning picture of the leavers...

Look at the map on BBC. That is not what the map (or BBC reporting) shows. There is a old vs. young divide. However the urban areas nearly all voted to Leave - making immigration a primary issue in the vote.

For example, the only two core boroughs of London voting to stay are the core wealthy ones where the bankers live. All the suburbs voted to Leave. All the other cities in England voted to Leave generally.

Are you reading this, Scat?

I hope everyone is. No matter who does it, name calling merely detracts from your intellectual arguments if it is done in post after post after post.

I hope everyone is.

Indeed, since Scat hasn't been the only one. But keep in mind, even if I drop the back-at-ya name calling I've been reading here for 7+ years (can't recall your fervor on this issue back then, by the way), I still have back-at-ya outright lies to make. I mean, it was ok and had to be defended if it was anti-Obama and anti-democrats, so it must continue to be ok and defensible.

I have always urged people to be civil to one another in P&R on ET. I have also urged people to focus on the issues and limit name calling.

If you call a politician or individual a name over and over again in post after post after post - it does not serve to prove your points but simply gets old quick.

This is different than using a name once or twice in an attempt at humor (or to humorously get a point across) - this I can understand and support.

Fair enough, but I'm not calling you names.

I never said you were. I disagree with you (and other posters like Nitro) on many things and agree on others. But we always have been civil in our interactions.

British Millennials have themselves to blame for what happened
The polling data ahead of the vote shows that 19% of young people wouldn't vote or didn't know how they'd vote.

In a surprising decision, Britain voted on Thursday to leave the European Union in a vote of 52% “leave” versus 48% “remain.”

The results show that 17.4 million people voted leave, while 16.1 million for remain. There was a 72% voter turnout.

Perhaps the most outraged demographic—at least on social media— are the Millennials.

It’s not surprising since a majority of younger people supported staying in the EU, while their older counterparts were more in favor of leaving.

According to CNN Money, the younger population saw the biggest impact on their wages following the financial crisis and they've also expressed the most concern about their future job prospects. Also according to CNN Money, millennials are pointing fingers at voters who have "stolen our future"

That said, there may have been a little too much apathy among the younger generation. And they may need to consider point their fingers at themselves.

A Wall Street Journal analysis of polling data shows a huge portion of younger voters had planned to sit on the sidelines. According to the report, 19% of voters 18 to 24 said they "wouldn't vote" or "didn't know." Another 17% of voters 25 to 49 said the same thing.

True enough, for the most part we don't Drumpf each other, calling each other names like "goofus".

I find it fascinating that Saudi Arabia and the rich Gulf states have taken no refugees. Maybe it is more important to create an invasion of muslims into western countries than actually assist them?

Saudis and other rich gulf states understand that these so called "refugees" are nothing but shit and trouble.... so they don't want them in their countries.

On the other hand.... forcing the muslim savages into western culture serves a political purpose for the power-mad globalists.

The West needs to WAKE UP!!

Now the knee-jerk reaction is for London to want to secede from the UK and remain in the EU.

I guess they want to prove their patriotism and loyalty to the rest of the country. After all, what is hundreds of years of history and tradition when some City banker's bonus might be impacted?

As with the US, breaking away from a country where you no longer feel at home or share any values at all is not the worst idea. The north of England shares about as much with Londonistan as Mississippi does with NYC. Breaking up both countries makes a lot of sense.
