We were not talking about asylum seekers, there are at least half a dozen European countries more popular than the UK for them.

I think you Europeans just make things up.

UK is not even close to Germany as the most popular destination for migrants.



However according to the EU Commission the UK is the most popular migration for Spaniards

Bruce, you should know we are experts at shutting the gate, after the horse has bolted

Brexit in folks heads is done, we now need to focus on full de-globalisation.

The data you presented shows 2018 which was the year Germany invited 1 million migrants over to Germany, which turned out to be a complete disaster as Germany in the end paid them €10K each to go "home", others were bussed out of Germany to other EU member states according to migrant quotas, ending up in makeshift camps and ghettos all over the EU.


It's not us "Europeans making things up", its you fake Australians who pretend they know what they are talking about.

Ha ha fake eh? Yet all I do is present facts.

Perhaps it is just the maths that confuses you but if you deduct 1 million from the 13 million that still leaves Germany many millions of immigrants ahead of Britain.

Much as you might not want to believe it Britain is not the preferred destination either for immigrants or refugees. I can't understand your insistence that it is. I would have thought you would be pleased by that information, you are constantly complaining about immigration into the UK either by refugees or immigrants so not being the preferred destination is something of a relief surely?

On youtube there are videos of Professor Danny Dorling, he states two interesting facts:

1. high correlation between leave voters and obesity and
2. high correlation between leave voters and places with the lowest rate of immigrants.

Perhaps you and your obviously-hunted-for professor could tell us exactly just how such a frankly preposterous statements have been researched before being tabled?

In case you didn't realise, no data is kept on UK voting other than that detailed as required to vote so unless your professor has accuratel surveyed enttire populations and can guarantee the accuracy and validity of the responses, such suggestions of correlation are fto be blunt worthless.

Oh and BTW Brexit was voted-for back in 2016 and has been duly actioned.
You're too late to question why it might have come about.
It's done.

Not to mention that it's all off-topic OR that an even higher percentage of the UK now thinks Brexit was the right thing to do.

Nah bud, it's from polls but the answer from the only official time we were asked in the past 40+ years suggests that the polls are probably right.

So no update from the 2016 situation? Even the UK has changed since then. E.g. people on this forum became rather desperate, compare some old threads with todays. Illuminating!

WTF are you on about Solly?
Grumbling about thread content when you're the one frequently going off-topic is a bit oddd.


Just like evety other mortal you will have to wait & see what arises re: Ireland/NI.
Though I'm puzzled as to your interest, you having no skin in the game?
Still, no news is good news.
Certainly nowadays.
