Understand where you’re coming from here but this is a little naive / idealistic Black culture is a ‘thing’ and rightfully so - whether you like it or not I agree the end goal of a human is a human is noble but unrealistic. At least in the short term anyways Equality is a great aim but eliminating valid culture as part of it is perhaps a little extreme And this is coming from someone who feels culture/country etc will be all but eliminated by globalisation (albeit over several hundred years)

My point though is unless the point is identified and discussed it won't ever change. Every journey starts with a single step etc etc. For me "black culture" needs to be called out just as much as "white supremacy" does. Neither contribute anything positive to harmonising society. I do though agree that globalisation will largely eliminate the current concepts of race and nationality although I expect that to happen much quicker than in several hundred years. Indeed you can see it happening today. There will always be the Luddite tendencies that are in evidence here seeking to hold back inevitable change but irresistible forces are not meeting immovable objects. They are just facing temporary barriers.

You certainly haven’t got any humility or grace though have you. If you were chocolate you would eat yourself, then lecture everyone else on it. And pioneer you may see yourself as. So were some of the worst people in history at the time. You “see it as it is”. At that point you are no different to the fascists, they “see it as it is too”. I can’t believe you actually think you change anyone’s mind by insulting them about their intelligence.

Proposing and implementing laws, within the objectives of existing treaties, is not enacting new law. It is carrying out the delegated instructions of EU member states. Treaties are democratically approved by EU members. Delegated responsibility does not alter where the final authority rests. The idea that the commission is some kind of undemocratic monster which has controlled everything is 100% propaganda and scaremongering. It is the servant of the EU members and not their master. Indeed. Factorame taught us that. And if the Commission were merely doing the bidding of the EU "members", why is it subject to lobbying? Why can we not see the minutes from the meeting of these lobbyists? Why are they declared "commercial secrets"? No matter what weasel words you use to spin it, these people have SOLE authority for initiating legislation, and do NOT need to be instructed by the Council to do so - it can be of their own "initiative". "Oh, but the UK goverment also gets lobbied LOL! I win the argumentz!" Except, of course, we have the ability to remove our government and vote (yes! vote!) in a new one. You are correct. The Commission isn't an undemocratic monster. It is anti-democratic: go take a look at how a failed cronyist nepotistic derided German defence minister rose to power, without even turning up to the sham EU commissioner "debates". What the point in putting forwards to candidates to vote on when it's all tied up in what Juncker attachingly refers to as "dark secret rooms". Spare me the pathetic pretense of EU accountability, Wisbech.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Post Brexit Thread' by Midlands Eagle Still wondering if it fundamentally changes anything, except Scotland’s call for a new referendum on independence. In ten years we’ll all be voting to all to be let back in.

Nothing should change until the end of the year. After which the EU has said that UK citizens will be required to obtain a visa which will last for 2 years and is valid for any EU country. It will be electronic like an ESTA and probably cost about £10 it is a short term visa. However this may get negotiated away ? I am not sure what the UK equivalent will be. Do you mean that with this visa you will be able to enter an EU country and stay for up to 2 years without having to leave?
