Dictated by political expediency and the desire for positive headlines. The truth is that your cousin could be here now. Our elected government decided that he can't be.MaxPB said:
Dictated by the inability to block unskilled migration from the EU. As I said earlier I would favour free movement of highly skilled labour to the UK globally rather than free movement unskilled, semi-skilled and highly skilled workers from Europe.SouthamObserver said:
That's the UK government's immigration policy, isn't it?MaxPB said:
Well that much was obvious. As someone of Asian descent you should know how badly the EU migration policy plays among Asians. It's discriminatory towards Asian countries where highly skilled family members regularly get rejected for work visas and then they are served coffee in Starbucks by an unskilled EU migrant.TheScreamingEagles said:
I've got some feedback for you on Dewsbury. Looking grim in some parts for Remain, very positive in other parts.CD13 said:Mr Eagles,
"Find me a quote by David Cameron saying Brexit leads to World War III."
Callaghan never said "Crisis? What crisis?" Fat lot of good that did him - it's what he meant. I can give you some other examples too, but you will know them already.
That's Dave's petard, so he may as well give us a wave from the top.
The Asian community aren't as enthusiastic for Remain as you would think.
Is one of those areas, LabourIN are working hard am told.
Also, just to add that my cousin just got rejected for a work visa and he's an honours graduate from Pune university in pharmacology. He would walk into any major pharmaceutical company in the and had a highly paid job lined up, but his application was recently rejected.

I have also experienced this.RoyalBlue said:It's very notable canvassing that middle class people are much readier to be rude to you on the doorstep than WWC. I guess that's because middle class liberals just know that they are right about everything, so why treat an opponent with any respect at all?

In what way were the 330k net migration figures a positive headline, as you have said on many occasions, it is the single headline than has hurt the remain camp the most. Eliminating 100k worth of unskilled migration from Europe, removing students from the figures (most of them go back, count them if they stay) and removing restrictions from highly skilled migrants from non-EU locations would still result in a fall in net migration to politically acceptable levels while not hurting the economy, either on an absolute or per capita basis.SouthamObserver said:

If we need to leave the EU to achieve that goal then so be it.0 -
Wow.
From the report by the conhome canvasser in Newham:
"Not a canvass session goes by when I do not encounter someone who claims to be undecided, then asks which way I am campaigning before ‘fessing up’ that they too are voting leave. This seems to be more prevalent among ethnic minority residents in my experience. Every new member of our canvassing teams gets excited by shy leavers “they said they didn’t know but when I told them I was for leave, they whispered and said they were too!”0 -

I'd imagine the vast majority of those voting for unification wouldn't have British citizenship.tlg86 said:
I'd give them a referendum with consequences. Everyone votes in public (i.e. we know how everyone votes) and in the case of the North voting to unify with the Republic, those who voted to join the Republic lose their British citizenship and rights to benefits and all the rest of it. Those who opted to stay with us will have the option to relocate to Britain.FrankBooth said:
More serious is the potential repercussions in Northern Ireland. Would British voters support sending in the troops again if there was serious unrest? I'm not sure.Alanbrooke said:

He will have difficulty reuniting the party let alone the country if Remain scrapes home, I think if that is the result UKIP will eat into the white working class Labour vote and the lower middle class Tory voteTheScreamingEagles said:
That's what I'm finding too. I think project fear has worked with the middle classes. I think Leave have helped on that front. 'There'll be a hit, but only short term, so what, FREEDOM'CD13 said:Mr Eagles,
Re Dewsbury: Thanks for the info. Interesting. So the main division is between the posh and the plebs, as in the rest of country.
Unfortunately, that's the sort of division that's worst. Hope post-referendum, it doesn't get even worse.

Mr Perdix,
When you're explaining ... you know the rest. Cameron knew what he wanted to do - to worry people unnecessarily, but he went a little too far and is being mocked. Sorry, Dave, sometimes you're not very good at politics. He's wisely moved on and is in the process of saying very little for a while.0 -

The Swingback theory worked in GE 2015 and will work again as the status quo becomes a safe haven away from market and currency turbulence.Swingback will be in full swing by the weekend so Remain could get to a backable price due to short-term sentiment.0

Again, these are people who have had family and friends rejected for work (or even visitor) visas and they blame the EU. @SouthamObserver can blame the government all he likes and while that may be technically correct, the perception among Asian (and West Indian) migrants is that the EU is to blame because we have to take in a bunch of sponging gypsies from Romania.Paul_Bedfordshire said:Wow.

@John_N4John_N4 said:EU referendum: Holyrood 'could control immigration' after Brexit.
Utter rubbish from Gove. Later he says "Ultimately, the numbers who would come in the future would be decided by the Westminster parliament and the Holyrood parliament working together."
It's all smoke up your arse.
Note that the SNP wants more immigration to Scotland, not less. Lots of cheap labour for employers willing to donate to their party, and lots of lovely rural grants.
I wouldn't be surprised if Leave does even better in Scotland than in England and Wales.
I've still got £50 here at evens that Scotland will vote remain by >2% than the national vote share. Do you want to take that action?0 -
The latest Remain pitch seems to be there's nothing anyone can do about immigration so you'll all just have to accept it.
Odd.

So BT think it is a smart move for their brand to associate with REMAIN? The next time a customer (who is LEAVE such as I), has to choose their tv/broadband/mobile/telephone/etc supplier, some will remember and look harder for an alternative. After all it is widely known that LEAVErs are more passionate about the issue than REMAINers.PlatoSaid said:BT tells 80k staff to vote Remain.
On a side note I have to say that BT is really only successful/survives in the UK. A quick look at their 2015 Report has the misnamed "Global Services" division really getting less than 60% of its revenues from outside the UK. GS represents under 20% of EBITDA - so take out the 40% UK part and it non-UK earnings are probably under 10% of all EBITDA of BT.... Why?
What Mr Rake and the other folk running BT should be focused on is improving their global performance and breaking out of their UK monopolies. Heck they have the EU - what is holding them back? Time they acted before Openreach goes.0 -
The issue is that the US terrorist was a muslim who seems to have mudered 50 people on the grounds that that they did not conform to Islam ideology.MaxPB said:
I don't think that a homegrown terrorist plays into the hands of either group. Free movement of people across the EU has nothing to do with terrorism in the US commited by a US citizen.Estobar said:

Yup, there is that. won't stop some Leavers trying to weaponise Orlando.AlastairMeeks said:@TSE I hadn't realised that Florida was in the EU.
The fact is that a Muslim nutter murdered innocent people who believe in western values. If you think that helps play into Remain's position, you're welcome.
The combination of millions of muslim migrants now entering the EU and their free movement within the EU after a number of qualifying years, could be a timebomb.0
