Pakistan was mentioned what a great idea we had making that country ! Instead of trying a peaceful settlement for India we split the country in two. Arrogance that has led to what we see now.

These problems may manifest themselves in abstract ways but ultimately it is membership of the EU that is their root.
As an economically middle class Remainer I don't expect you to have an ounce of understanding , empathy or sympathy for those millions of your fellow citizens.
Your views are too rooted in your own self aggrandisment
My merry dance analogy is spot on. The EU is not the root of all problems in the UK. That's the con. The EU did not lead to the demise of the British Empire. The EU did not close the coal mines. The EU did not lead to British industry moving production to China etc. The EU did not let in countless non EU economic migrants.
Some people think all this will somehow be erased when we leave the EU. Some people think Britain will be like a newborn baby.
Ps. you are getting personal, so may I refer you to your previous comment...

A lot of southafricans are white and a lot of the french are black.
By the way, a lot of white southafricans found asylum in the UK.

As predicted , you , as a Remainer, do not understand the Leavers'mindset and have spent the past 18 months trying to use your own words to twist the narrative to suit your agenda
Re-read my last post and reall carefully think about what I have said.. It's your dismissive attitude that has plagued British politics for too long and that the electorate rebelled against.
Also, your sensitivity does you no credit You can't keep playing the 'You're getting personal' card when it's the nature of your subservient and self centered take on politics that forms your opinions.. You shouldn't expound your opinions if you're not prepared to have them pulled apart.
I'm saying your opinions are formed out of self interest not from a conviction or a inherent belief, that's why you don't empathise with the Leavers' or understand their problems
There is no personal gain for you in doing so.

I'm not interested in re-reading a post that was just complaining again. You're making personal assumptions about me but you don't know me. Try to stick to the subject rather than getting insulting and projecting your own negative emotions on others here.
