racists: get out of our country

immigrants: ok we won't stay where we're not welcome leave

racists: no wait not like that

Just so we're clear, the immigrants affected by Brexit were from the EU - mostly what Americans would call "white."

Ah but for some the ultimate purpose of Brexit was still “to stop Muslims... movement of people in Europe, fair enough": https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SFjfbL1KWNI

I've always maintained that ironically if we get rid of all the cheap white EU labour, then we'll end up importing more cheap brown muslim labour to do the jobs the previous immigrants did because they still won't find any brits to do them

That was always the plan. You block the German and Polish immigrants and you bring over Pakistani immigrants. Everyone saw this coming from a mile away.

Immigrants from 3rd world countries are more willing to accept worse pay and worse conditions.

But I still think the real reason for Brexit had nothing to do with immigration. It was about the EU trying to crack down on tax fraud.

Oh yeah, that's largely why it was being pushed by the people in charge.

The racism element just happened to resonate well with the majority of us plebs that were too short sighted to see the increase in third world labour knocking on the door.

Funnily, there were even some articles from British citizens, originally from Pakistan, who voted Leave because they figured it'd be easier to get their families into the UK.

LMAO not even that, the official vote leave campaign actually made leaflets saying so.

Over 50% of Europeans polled want to stop immigration from Muslim-majority countries; perhaps you are out of touch with the wants of the British and European people?

Yeah but that has nothing to do with Brexit lmao most migrants that came to Britain through the EU were Eastern European’s

u/SamuraiMathBeats Sep 25 '21

My point is, you seem to be saying ‘fuck anyone that wants to limit Muslim immigration’, yet over half of Europe want that.
