You chose to ignore them. Blaming others for your own decisions is not taking the required responsibility. 1975 - you voted for what you now think was the wrong choice. Your judgement is, therefore, suspect. 2016? We will see if you have again or not. btw if you don't like someone responding to your goading don't do it. You can't compare 1975 to now in that context.

This is playing out exactly like one of your spats with Matt_Himself. For a 10 year old you were pretty clued up to notice Benn and the TUC's warnings..... us 21 year olds at the time weren't privy to such warnings. But as I said in my last post, my original response was made in response to your assertion that some people were hoodwinked and manipulated at this referendum and how unfair it was. I am merely demonstrating the absurdity of your claims or at least highlighting a historic track record. btw I just want the funny fella back with us who shrugged off goading with wit and repartee' not aggression and bizarre behaviour. PS - I can't actually remember which way I voted in 1975 - but I do know there was not a mention of the EEC becoming the EU which might have had an enormous bearing on anyone's decision to vote. As it was the In campaign got a 2 to 1 majority over Out. Edited by Hoof Hearted (27 Jun 2016 12.18pm)

Was there a referendum on joining the Common Market. I think quite a large amount of the leave supporters don't really have an issue with being part of the European trade block and trade agreements, its much more the stitch up of incorporating freedom of movement as a requirement for the EFTA and EEA. Its this single issue, the Freedom of Movement, that is the bugbear of a lot of modern Eurosceptics - and the provision of a cheap migrant work force, that suits governments and businesses, but has had a dramatic impact on the well being and financial stability of the working classes, which have been ignored and shafted by successive governments. Government needs to respond to the needs of communities and society, as its priority, not just the commercial interests. Rather than resolving problems of the working poor, successive governments have ignored them to pursue the interests of the better off, the wealthy and areas of the country with higher employment - whilst draining the poorer European cousins of the best and brightest, to fulfil unskilled and semi-skilled manual labour in the UK. Unsurprisingly, this has been a constant thorn in the Remains side, that it never addressed - That the government had a duty to the people of the UK and it abandoned them.

As I have said. We cannot allow Westminster to ignore public opinion and concern as they have done for years. This is why we have UKIP and why we voted to leave.

I studied economics as part of my Chartered Insurance Institute Qualifications back in the 70's. Mostly a load of old bollocks apart from the simple commonsense rules that you wish to ignore. What would be the point of willy waving, either of us could just make up stuff. For a start you've accepted I have Parkinsons, but you have no way of knowing that I have. Likewise, your claims about a 17 year old daughter. Lets leave it that you don't like me or my ilk - I can live with that. Regards..... Funnily enough I trust you Hoof. Also - whilst I don't like what you and others like you have done to my children and me - I have no idea if I like you or not. And by the way, I suggest you look at why the supply side hasn't adjusted to increased housing demand. That would be more fruitful than blaming EU migrants who, in general, have been relatively youthful, formed fewer households, used less housing and stayed more in private rented accommodation than the indigenous population (LSE research).

Unsurprisingly, this has been a constant thorn in the Remains side, that it never addressed - That the government had a duty to the people of the UK and it abandoned them. Absolutely. I have said and I'll say again, I am open to the option of free movement of labour with a job offer, if it can address 'the provision of a cheap migrant work force, that (has suited) governments and businesses, but has had a dramatic impact on the well being and financial stability of the working classes.' Office professionals, or to be precise, post-graduates can decide whether they still like free movement if they can't get a foot on the professional ladder due to higher level of competition. They still gain employment somewhere. Housing will still be an issue in the future but they'll have to live with it. The problem will be adminsistrating this and the abuse of the system by fiddling, lying, scummy exploitative employers.

Edited by Mapletree (27 Jun 2016 12.30pm) I'll address the last para another day when I have time. In the meantime, chin up, shoulder to the wheel and get behind our new regime regardless of whether you wanted it. These are the new cards we're playing now!

Edited by Mapletree (27 Jun 2016 12.30pm) Do you honestly believe any govt can build sensible housing for 330,00 net extra people plus indigenous population growth every year for the next xxx years? I am talking about 2 or 3 per house, not 6,7,8,9,10 per house to make working in low pay here in the UK worthwhile. Or do you expect the British working classes to live 8 to a house, 3 or 4 in each bedroom? When the living wage comes into effect in 2020 this will worsen, but if you bury your head in the sand in Truro it might not actually be going on.

Get used to it, its a fact of life. All the time the job prospects are better here than anywhere else in the UK. Mind you, now would be a great time to buy in Edinburgh.

Thinking of people other than your own and the sustainability of this ideology in our own society is what you want us to get used to. Did you not see Eddie Izzard make a complete fool of himself?

It doesn't have to be. This will be a decision politicians make. We have to make them see that uncontrolled growth in population is not and has never been a viable option. The short term gain of corporations or even the UK economy cannot be allowed to disguise the disaster we are heading for.
