Speaker: A Disorderly Brexit, in reply to
I'm old enough to remember when the assimilation of immigrants was normal. It produces a mutual-benefit outcome, which seems to evaporate when the flow escalates. Your illustration, Russell, is of the domestic reaction to this. Better to focus on why rather than any tit-for-tat interaction. My observation was of the pattern of cultural behaviour that has emerged in recent years: non-assimilation, the development of enclaves which breed radicalism & induce polarisation between folks. The tolerance & mutual understanding & rapport that arises from assimilation is noticeably lacking nowadays. Policies of excessive migration are the cause.

The big cities voted to remain, everywhere else in England voted to leave, seems to be the simplest FPP verdict. Perception of the extent of trickle-down, I suspect.
Too many voters alienated by Eurocrats sucking money out of them? Migrants refusing to assimilate, forming enclaves in order to launch us vs them culture wars. Trying to get away with importing barbaric practices into civilisation because they are traditional components of ethnic culture. Unsurprising that tolerance of such idiocy has ebbed, eh?
So now the Bilderbergers have to shuffle their left & right glove puppets again. No big deal as long as mainstreamers continue to be captivated by sham democracy, and the petition of those unable to accept the verdict of democracy turning them into losers is an entertaining exhibition of clueless impotence. The masses still want bread & circuses, so showering them with some of that helicopter money the banks and corporations have been refusing to use to create jobs since the gfc could help the transition...
