- Terrible, but I think the problem lies in mixing two cultures that are quiet distant from each other, a lot of education needs to be had to bridge the gap.shapesalad
- Which is why I advocate refugees being placed in countries that have a culture most similar to their own.shapesalad

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr Stephen Fry.
Simple explanation and an alternative perspective on Brexit.
- @1:34 they are coming to Britain, just this week boats of refugees came across the channel from France - A country of peace, great wines and amazing cheeses!shapesalad
- @2:40 the concern is if a country boarding Syria joins the EU, a direct boarder for more migrants to get in to the EU is made, from which they can move to UK.shapesalad
- Overall... uk media has always painted the EU as 'them and us' relationship. In fact, the UK is the EU, it's been part of it since day one.shapesalad
- I think the EU like anything, is not perfect. Leaving it just shift the focus of complain from EU to Westminster.shapesalad
- If we'd had a UK leader that was more 'right' - and not openly welcomed migrants from the Middle East/Africa, we'd perhaps have stayed in the EU.shapesalad
- As a country we have a responsibility to share some of the burden of humanitarian disasters. Despite that, immigration is a positive thing for the UK. Look...Morning_star
- ..at our history and how tembracing different cultures has added to our culture and economy. Curry anyone?Morning_star
- I'm broadly on his / their side and I found it overwhelmingly patronising. Like being read a children's story. Can't imagine this having any real effectFax_Benson
- other than to get millions of likes from remainers on twitter.Fax_Benson
- nothing against Fry but he's a bad choice. It's like the English abroad - if we speak slowly and carefully enough, maybe they'll understand.Fax_Benson
- Burden of humanitarian disasters... indeed, hence we need to be able to stop our leaders dropping bombs in the Middle East.shapesalad
- And that argument begs the question - why not house all our homeless?shapesalad
- Fax, I get where you're coming from. It's a bit like a Ladybird book for Remainers.Morning_star
- @Shapesalad. The homeless problem is a nightmare and I don't think it's as simple as providing homes. There is a huge amount of mental illness within the...Morning_star
- ...homeless community. It's not difficult to get help if you're able to keep to the regime that's required of you, however, coupled with drug and alcohol...Morning_star
- ...dependancy, antisocial behavious, criminality and mental healt it's not just a matter of putting a roof over someones head.Morning_star
- ^ I get what you mean, but I don't think Fry was being overly condescending. Do you think we're a bit hypersensitive to all this now as we see the deceit?Ianbolton
- People are still pumping out bullshit in regards to what's happening and I think Fry's calm approach was quite soothing actuallyIanbolton
- Fry is Boris's equal opposite, so I think he's a perfect. He needs to get through to Essex idiots, not well-educated professionals.Projectile

LEAVER: I want an omelette.
REMAINER: Right. It’s just we haven’t got any eggs.
LEAVER: Yes, we have. There they are. [HE POINTS AT A CAKE]
REMAINER: They’re in the cake.
LEAVER: Yes, get them out of the cake, please.
REMAINER: But we voted in 1974 to put them into a cake.
LEAVER: Yes, but that cake has got icing on it. Nobody said there was going to be icing on it.
REMAINER: Icing is good.
LEAVER: And there are raisins in it. I don’t like raisins. Nobody mentioned raisins. I demand another vote.
DAVID CAMERON ENTERS.
DAVID CAMERON: OK.
DAVID CAMERON SCARPERS.
LEAVER: Right, where’s my omelette?
REMAINER: I told you, the eggs are in the cake.
LEAVER: Well, get them out.
EU: It’s our cake.
JEREMY CORBYN: Yes, get them out now.
REMAINER: I have absolutely no idea how to get them out. Don’t you know how to get them out?
LEAVER: Yes! You just get them out and then you make an omelette.
REMAINER: But how?! Didn’t you give this any thought?
LEAVER: Saboteur! You’re talking eggs down. We could make omelettes before the eggs went into the cake, so there’s no reason why we can’t make them now.
THERESA MAY: It’s OK, I can do it.
REMAINER: How?
THERESA MAY: There was a vote to remove the eggs from the cake, and so the eggs will be removed from the cake.
REMAINER: Yeah, but...
LEAVER: Hang on, if we take the eggs out of the cake, does that mean we don’t have any cake? I didn’t say I didn’t want the cake, just the bits I don’t like.
EU: It’s our cake.
REMAINER: But you can’t take the eggs out of the cake and then still have a cake.
LEAVER: You can. I saw the latest Bake Off and you can definitely make cakes without eggs in them. It’s just that they’re horrible.
REMAINER: Fine. Take the eggs out. See what happens.
LEAVER: It’s not my responsibility to take the eggs out. Get on with it.
REMAINER: Why should I have to come up with some long-winded incredibly difficult chemical process to extract eggs that have bonded at the molecular level to the cake, while somehow still having the cake?
LEAVER: You lost, get over it.
THERESA MAY: By the way, I’ve started the clock on this.
REMAINER: So I assume you have a plan?
THERESA MAY: Actually, back in a bit. Just having another election.
REMAINER: Jeremy, are you going to sort this out?
JEREMY CORBYN: Yes. No. Maybe.
EU: It’s our cake.
LEAVER: Where’s my omelette? I voted for an omelette.
REMAINER: This is ridiculous. This is never going to work. We should have another vote, or at least stop what we’re doing until we know how to get the eggs out of the cake while keeping the bits of the cake that we all like.
LEAVER/MAY/CORBYN: WE HAD A VOTE. STOP SABOTAGING THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. EGGSIT MEANS EGGSIT.
REMAINER: Fine, I’m moving to France. The cakes are nicer there.
LEAVER: You can’t. We’ve taken your freedom of movement.
- Long Copy Lover indeed. It could go further and mention the deal is only a plan to remove the eggs from the cake and not what to do with them afterwards.shapesalad

Liz Truss will be popular today. Transcript of her loudly gossiping about May, the vote, leadership bid, Macron, and generally being a complete loon - over lunch in a busy restaurant.

Brexit: Full legal advice to be published after contempt vote
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-po…
The government will publish its full legal advice on Theresa May's Brexit deal after MPs found it in contempt of Parliament for not doing so.
The Commons supported a motion, backed by six opposition parties, demanding full disclosure, by 311 votes to 293.
Labour demanded the attorney general's advice should be released ahead of next Tuesday's key vote on Mrs May's deal.
In response Commons Leader Andrea Leadsom said the government "would respond" on Wednesday.- Tisk, tisk... So sad to see that tiny island of yours falling apart, but, you had a pretty good run.robotron3k

Today, 6/12/18 — "£56bn wiped off FTSE 100 in biggest market fall since Brexit vote."
I know it's related to USA/global market slump, but there's no way £56bn of value will be put back into the FTSE100 while the Brexit farce is ongoing...

Conservative Norwegian politician Heidi Nordby Lunde pretty scathing of the brexiteers norway-plus plan

- was reading an article from before the referendum in which Farage and the hard brexiteers were claiming Norway was a likely scenarioFax_Benson

brexiteer Priti Patel wondered if (potential) food shortages in Ireland caused by brexit could be used as a negotiation tactic.
food as a means of subjugation hasn't left the psyche of some people.

- Everyone is split on it: the parties, the mp's of the parties, the people - no one can agree on how and what leave is.shapesalad
- However half the people can agree on what remain means, so common sense says go with that for some economic certainty or hedge funds are the only winners.shapesalad
