Who said that?

Britain did not seek hegemonic power on the European continent however, and believed that it was a dangerous thing for liberty - not least Britain’s own.

“so-called “States Rights”, which was just another front for the continuance of slavery” So did/does the issue of States Rights not exist then?

But your HBSS is more united under one culture, legal system and history.

??? A full Brexit would mean the UK would have to be even more engaged with “globalisation and global capitalism.” Being as we would be completely outside the EU. Assuming a full Brexit occurs.

Well that we can agree on, Theresa May has been a hopeless negotiator, dutiful, diligent and cautious though she is.

Something something “I don’t like these people who disagree with me but can’t actually refute their arguement so I’ll just smear them as nazis then I can ignore them.”

First off: Britain or England? Make up your mind.

You aren’t the first Irish person I’ve heard say that, getting together with your neighbours is a good idea but it doesn’t mean you let them treat your house as theirs or that you let them get into bed with you.

Apologies in being tardy getting back to you.

I tend to agree, the roots of the technocratic urge do date back to about then.

No I don’t agree, Farage’s point(s) amounted to: “we’re a lot less racist than we were in the ‘50s and 60's so we no longer need these laws. Job done.” This is naive as racists could well be emboldened and make a comeback, my kitchen floor is now clean so will I throw away the bleach and mop? No.

I’ve never seen that actually. Don’t forget that your white van driving and Hi-Viz waistcoat wearing classes are much more likely to actually know and work alongside Poles and Romanians and sit and chat at lunchtime.

You’ll have to enlighten me. I’m well aware for his dislike of the EU, he’s not secret about his views on that. But I don’t recall hearing him opine on race.

Although NATO did more to ensure that, (thanks US taxpayers!), the Common Market, as was, more prospered in the shade of the security umbrella it cast.

Yeah but is China 3rd world? Seems like it’s heading towards some kind of cusp of one kind or another, (we may be “Destined for War*”), whereas India seems to be permanently on the verge of a breakthrough but never quite gets there.

That’s right, you don’t like it so it’s “racist”. Carry on it’s a winning tactic. (Of course some uncharitable people might think it a transparently dishonest straw man tactic, but f*ck them eh? You’re right, they’re wrong.)

Some people may have “literally voted to leave the EU because they didn’t want to accept refugees into the country out of fear that it would reduce the white majority.” Most didn’t. The vast majority of incomers from other European countries are white. Most of these countries are a lot whiter than the multiracial UK.…

True, Indian industrialists seem fairly canny and are welcome here.

It is. And what has that got to do with Brexit?
