Discuss What percentage of Sparks voted Brexit? in the Business Related area at ElectriciansForums.net

I am all for different views that we agree on and I too have respect for all people not just the guys here who willing help out with advice etc.
My comment was not intended as a "personal" insult merely pointing out that we DID understand what we voted for Good for you,apparently I need "small words" to understand and the constant barrage of insults towards people who voted out as racist, nazies bigots xenophobic etc etc can be a bit wearing to put it mildly I have made no such comments myself, and your statement clearly supports the view that we the leavers did not understand or are to thick to understand hence the comment.I believe we were all led astray,I believe the leavers voted out without "realising" what the the consequences may be
I support the view that we should have stayed in,I consider I am right therefore the out vote
in my mind is wrong
I have never used or would never use the word thick to describe someone

As to your "new member" statement I fail to see what relevance that has to our discussion, and comes across as condescending and arrogant It was to demonstrate that a relatively new member may not be aware that the usual practice of older members (notwithstanding the forum rules) does not permit personal insult, as my time here and my time in the industry has nothing to to with the discussion we are engaged in.Seems to me to be a strange sort of discussion if thats what it is

You've had my opinion of your insulting post,you have had your say,I have responded to what you had to say
I would expect the other members are bored to tears having this "discussion" which is interrupting their thread so I will say no more about you or your attitude
 
Let’s be clear this has absolutely NOTHING to do with “left” or “right”

People voted Brexit for the same reason people voted for Trump.

We all know something is wrong, we know something isn’t right, but we can’t quite put our finger on it.

There has never been as much wealth (be it fiat currency) in the world then there is now. Throughout history there has never been such an abundance.
Yet why is there no ambulances? Why do or children have inadequate education? Why do nurses and those that work in care , get paid such crap wages, even though their jobs are among the most important in our society?
Why do chief executives and CEOs get paid so much?

The answer to these questions and others like them have nothing to do with Brexit.

We have been told that it’s the Foreigners fault, “they come here stealing our jobs”

We have been told that its the fault of the poor “they sit on their arses all day and you pay for it”

Some might tell is that it’s the Muslims fault, or maybe the Mexicans.

The simple fact is all these problems come from the fact we are being robbed and hoodwinked by those with power and influence.
They have shaped the game in their favour.

They have used their wealth and assets to accrue even more.
They have used their power to influence our so called democratic systems in their favour and shape shape it in their needs and wonts.

And their master stroke which you can’t help but admire them for, is to convince us all that, it’s someone else’s fault.
They must be rolling about laughing, as we all fight amongst ourselves.

It’s simple, in times like this, when we are in peak inequality, humans default to base emotions like anger , hatred and fear.
populist leaders throughout history have capitalised on this, and have taken advantage of us in our weekest moments.

That’s why people voted Brexit.

That’s why morons voted for trump.

That why people dance to the tune, of that --- Farage

And it even explains why the weakest among us, those must easily moved to simple base emotions,Follow and look up too, that utter scum bag Tommy Robinson.

If we don’t stop fighting amongst ourselves, and unite and fight against the real enemy the top 10% then we won’t have a world to pass too our grandchildren.


We are being robbed, We need to tax WEALTH not INCOME.
We need to redistribute the wealth not only in our society but In the world. Then and only then may we be able to carve out a future for those that come after us.

Stop fighting, unite, take the power back.
... So the greedy Tories brainwashed us into voting Brexit?
 
it's a fact that both tories and labour proponents of the remain campaign had vested interests in staying in. they were all feeding from the EU trough. blair for one.

Hmm lol, in your opinion, the debate was over before it began so saying we had understood what we voted for is a bit forward, we had the Tory press and comments from the tory right to read and listen to, not exactly a debate, and Farage blathering on, otherwise no real discussion, still were going out so lets get on with it.
 
... So the greedy Tories brainwashed us into voting Brexit?
Some people yes, but if the labour party were in power they would have brainwashed us to stay, politicians, the scum of the earth
 
-No one said immigration was going to stop though Spin, you either listened to the campaign which explicitly said controlling immigration not stopping it, unless you listen to far right idiots.
-Criminals from the EU - I think you got that the wrong way around, we have let in thousands of EU migrants that have some very disturbing criminal records because there is currently no requirement in freedom of movement to pass this info' on, when we regain control we can ensure those who are welcomed in are subject to a criminal background check.
-EU intelligence regarding terrorists, another one you are getting confused on, the UK's GCHQ has one of the biggest and most indepth databases in Europe on terrorists, it is a generation ahead of the EU's the ECIRS system and was vital to halting 4 terrorists attacks within Europe, in fact the EU system was considered completely inadequate when they investigated several terrorist attacks on their own soil, we are European leaders in terrorist info and security matters and give far more than we receive, I believe you are sounding Pro EU media here who jumped on a comment from Mr Wainwright Europol director who said if Britain left the EU it COULD effect access to the database yet he was not saying it would, he is a known Europhile and part of the EU system so it was merely more scaremongering as Interpol is a international organisation outside of the EU's reach and control and will not be effected by our exit.
-Relocating European offices, well this is a no brainer to be fair, and you shouldn't need telling, if Britain leaves then it is no longer the gateway to the EU so UK based European offices will need to relocate to Europe as they serve no purpose anymore, just like UK's EU MP's will no longer have a job, there are definate casualties of leaving and I find it hard to understand why one needs to be told that a business or position that exists solely because we are part of the EU may have to move or be lost.
That is not so, some 6,000 EU citizens have been refused entry to Britain since 2010 because of their criminal records.
Seems odd that you state no requirement in freedom of movement to pass this info on, then in the next statement mention ECRIS, the European Criminal Records Information System.
Then you compare ECRIS which is a European version of our Police National Computer with GCHQ and say it’s inferior?
Is our PNC inferior or superior to GCHQ?
Yes leaving the EU will most likely affect our access.
As far as I am aware, there is no legal way we would be able to provide information to the system and therefore it is unlikely that we will be given access to a system we will not contribute to.
Well yes the relocation of European offices is a no brainier, yet many associated with the leave campaign deny this will happen.
Though it’s not just offices that will relocate.
Manufacturing plants and factories will also relocate.
No point Toyota having a plant in Britain if the cars manufactured there cannot easily be sold in Europe.

With all respect Hoon I found your post 239 to be somewhat bizarre, you have made several claims without backing any up, you have made several sweeping statements that show a very ignorant attitude.
You have basically called more than 63 million US populous 'morons' because you have an opinion about trump - please expand on why they are, and what makes your opinion 'trump' that of 63 million people..(see what I did there ;) )
You also make similar sweeping statements about leave voters, telling us we voted not on informed educated reasons but because we were hoodwinked by the wealthy establishment, quite offensive tbh been told I am not that educated to make a vote based on my own research and experience, I voted leave because the EU in going in directions that means it takes more and more control of its members without accountability, I want the next generation to be able to vote out those that make the laws and effect their lives not to be dictated to without any power to show their voice.

Reading your outro it becomes clear you are a socialist of some form or other and without trying to offend you you don't seem to have a clue what you're talking about, countries that come close to true socialism historically do not work in any way or form and in fact create more of the very things socialists are trying to stop, this not to be mixed up with capitalist countries with some social format which can work but only with an overlying capitalist system. You fail to forget that that filthy rich guy/girl you hate so much puts that money into a bank and it's people like him/her self doing this that gives banks the capital to lend and fund business projects, this creates work and wealth further down the ladder, if you take/steal that money from them and put it into taxes for better services etc then you begin a domino effect of social collapse, the poor getting poorer and less jobs out there, there is so much historical evidence to show this, the only system that is effective and works is the capitalist model and due to its very nature it creates different orders of wealth. When ever I see a march of protest at the wealthiest all I see is a march of real ignorance and true bitterness, you have no right to take a persons money just because you have less.
 
That is not so, some 6,000 EU citizens have been refused entry to Britain since 2010 because of their criminal records.
I suggest you do a google search for ‘ECRIS’

Yes but because they are are the ones flagged up through recent initiative of information sharing which started about 2010, potentially dangerous criminals and border patrols have been informed through intelligence when someone is refused usually, the 6000 arises from refuses since 2010 - 2016 now given that in 2016 approx 280 000 EU citizens migrated to the UK are you saying of this only a small fraction of 1% (of which are usually criminals under current surveillance and monitor) says the system is blocking criminals in general, the country is flooded with EU criminals, from organised pickpockets, to people working slaves for sex and cheap labour, many of these found and convicted here had historical criminals pasts in their country.

Even you Spin know those EU criminals caught and convicted in the UK are just the tip of the iceberg and its costing taxpayers 250million a year to house them at our majesties service.. the system doesn't work, we don't have the manpower to do it and the time to check everyones background, if you have an EU passport and no big red flag against your name then you are just allowed to walk into the UK regardless of your past.
 
So with the current capitalistic system we have, where the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.
If we changed to a socialistic system, the poor would get poorer and the rich richer.
The Socialist countries such as Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, Holland, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden don’t work?
 
I understand the figure now stands at 6500 refused entry.
Of course without access to ECRIS we would not have known to refuse those 6500 entry.
To be honest, It’s probably all academic, when you consider just how much has been taken from the security and border control budgets since the Tories got in.
I imagine it won’t be long before GCHQ, the Police, Border Control and probably the Armed Forces are all nationalised.
All in the name of economy and the greater good of course.
Police Officers will become Customer Relations Officers and drive around in the familiar Red liveried cars and vans.
The portrait of the Queen in Chief Officer’s offices will have to budge over to allow room for the portrait of Richard Branson.

Read my post again, I made it clear that this is not to be mistaken with countries that adapt some socialist models under a capital umbrella, all the countries you listed are not true socialist countries, the only criteria to been called a socialist country is self identification and is no reflection on the actual workings of the economy this is why so many let's say Corbynites are getting confused, they see a capitalist country identifying as a socialist because or 1 or 2 policies and they then think capitalism is the enemy and socialism works when in fact they are identifying capitalist countries in disguise.
 
@Spin - Socialism as most people would like to understand it does not really exist in a modern western world due to the international capitalistic frame we are all part of therefore any arguments about it working in this country or that are flawed from the off.

@JK - Venezuela is arguably an example of socialism failure although there is a failure of the government that has worsened the crisis, many people counter any criticism of the Socialist setup been the cause by throwing the oil price crash into the loop which on reflection seems a very reasonable argument to make as 95% of exports was oil and that was 25% of the economy, but here is the thing, when prices rose and recovered somewhat back up in 2017 it should have seen the country gaining traction and getting back out of the mess it was in but it didn't and this in part is directly to do with the socialist model, in fact the economy carried on in decline, there are many interesting negatives about taking over all your industries and one is investment and external support, if you think about it, which company is going to go in looking for new oil deposits knowing that when they find any the government will just take over, this analogy is true with many aspects of socialism, it pushes away the very people that can invest in your economy, boost it and push up living standards, when you are sheltered under a capitalist umbrella then at least you are protected from the rain to some degree.
 
it's a fact that both tories and labour proponents of the remain campaign had vested interests in staying in. they were all feeding from the EU trough. blair for one.

Blair's chief spin-doctor and former EU trade commissioner, Peter 'Prince Of Darkness' Mandelson, certainly has his snout deep in the EU trough, doesn't he?

According to Mandelson, he's "patriotic" and we Brexiteers are just a nasty bunch of xenophobic nationalists who hate everyone and everything that isn't indigenous to the UK.

Duplicitous Mandelson then declares that he "entirely" respects "the contrary view of many others." I think this is what George Orwell was referring to when he coined the term doublethink.
