Paradigm : a set of linguistic items that form mutually exclusive choices in particular syntactic roles It's nothing to do with remoaners paradigm : it's the brexiter paradox (one of many ,like "taking bavk control) we're living with. The idea that they could have everything they currently have and deny the same to EU people in the UK. As for the EU : it is/was no more or less perfect than the mother of parliaments but the benefits of it were lost in a moment of madness when the ERG cult managed to convince people who could hardly have cared less before 2016 that it posed an existential threat to the UK way of life. The mention of far right , racist governments is an irrelevance : the EU doesn't elect these people. In any case, this has to be the most far right, racist government we've had in the UK in modern history but that's life!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you missed the point of the debate? How many of the 'Spanish immigrants' are living and working here and contributing to the UK economy via taxes? How many of the ex pats are retired to the Costas contributing little and draining Spanish resources? Priti Patel couldn't wait to stop freedom of movement and to take back control. That's a two way street and the Spanish are rightly asking those without entitlement to stay to feck off back to whence they came. Shame.

Its just sheer arrogance of the " Immigrants" sorry ex pats that gets me. There are a few shows on the telly about them. Yeah I know its not fully representative of a large group but those ones couldn't be arsed learning the language, set up their own British " communities " and make no efforts to integrate and even show any curiosity about the courage. They seem to be there for the sun and cheap beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan Jambo Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 4 hours ago, ri Alban said: What tradition is that? Ex-Colonials doing the work Filthy Brits wouldn't do and then hunted down like vermin to make the immigration numbers look better. News flash, it's the filth who live here that are taking things that don't belong to them. For example, Brits born in Scotland stealing people in England's jobs and homes. Especially in London. Maybe one day, they'll have had enough and send them back. Less of that pater please Ri, thanks! 🤣 or was it Gordon brown you had in mind?

WorldChampions1902 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 This “Taking Back Control” lark seems to be growing in popularity! Poor fishermen. But they knew what they voted for. https://news.sky.com/story/brexit-france-detains-british-trawler-as-fishing-rights-row-intensifies-12446587?fbclid=IwAR0024IBVv5dGxmfWIES3QJYG_gZEiiMnBGkr09fxgkndO1_me8bHmEfkTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
