So fucking what? My life will be exactly the same: earning a living, aiming to better myself and my then current situation, moving if necessary, changing careers if necessary, overcoming any obstacles as necessary... exactly like it has been for the last 20 years. The world might be different (just as it is now from 20 years ago), but seems people aren't grasping that just like everyone else, I've adapted as needed. That is a given, and won't suddenly become unnecessary just because we are either in or out of the EU... and let's not forget according to the other side, all this disastrous shit would happen should we leave. Again, the world would change - sometimes for better, sometimes worse, but *my* situation in as far as my 2nd sentence here will remain.

Especially Muslims in prison for sex crimes. Do it on percentiles. Of course, you don't know where your children will live, find a job, or where migrants will decide to live. Try doing some exploring.

who gives a fuck that the prison system is full of rapists, murderers, and thieves? Do you really think there is any kind of good chance that outside of some shithole, females have a good chance of being raped? murdered? These crimes will suddenly stop and that the chances go from 0.001% to 0.0001%? That immigration will stop entirely... is that what people think is going to happen... surely they aren't that fucking dumb?
My kids.. I know they won't be living in a shithole, or scrabbling around looking for a job at a drive-thru, and I instil in them the same principles of: if you are in a situation you don't like, do what you need to, to get out of that situation... whether it's a relationship, a job, a place, a shitty friendship, whatever. The only duty here is the one you owe yourself to change any situation you don't like by getting off your ass and doing something about it, not waiting around thinking the fucking government, of all things, is going to do any damn thing at all for you. They never have, and they never will - their bottom line is how much cash they can get out of you, and what carrots they can dangle to stay in, or get in, power.
Posting in this thread is now as futile an exercise in real terms as voting, so adios, and good luck everyone on making an actual 'change' in your lives by putting an X on a ballot paper
