Also it's a joke but generally the average person you will find walking around will be very uninformed concerning political figures, and him walking around with pictures proves absolutely nothing

5:30 this is absolutely insane, if you show the average british man a picture of David Cameron they won't even fuking know who he is.
Ok in all seriousness I'm voting to stay, but are you dum? You think the average British person doesn't know what their prime minister looks like?? He ran and won the elections and is in the papers and on BBC non stop, you could show school kids a picture of him and they would be able to name him easily.
you can tell it isn't america when they talk about kids knowing something

can you take donald trump and just like make him sit in a corner of parliament or w/e all day forever?
SPEAKING OF Donald Trump, the same person who made Yoyo's linked video also had videos titled "Islam is not a religion of peace", "femenists celebrate STI's" and many more Trump friendly discriminatory videos :)

hey, remember that one game where your reads were wrong and someone else's reads were correct? neither do I, that never happens to yoyo200900
you won't find one game where my reads were wrong unless i was mafia
believable

edit: on second thought, you're right, because I won't be looking through your completed games

And really, you're going to take my point about not being able to join again completely out of context where I explained why it was important due to a lack of information spreading, that's just so low.

Also, Germany has this thing called empathy, you might want to look into it. They are only swamped because we along with others are taking such pitiful amounts

Alright I watched the video.

Around 3:30 he chooses to cherrypick examples of politicians that fall out and disagree with the EU. 2 or 3 out of thousands, fantastic.

5:30 this is absolutely insane, if you show the average british man a picture of David Cameron they won't even fuking know who he is. Congratulations to him on using ignorance of the general public to make a completely irrelevant point.

6:04 this man is a C*nt

Then they go on to talk about a loss of sovreigny when I've already explained why that is crap, and how people cant consider anything changing in the EU or how many policies we literally back out of because we dont like them.

6:34 what a scaremongering b*stard using the action of a few to incriminate 800,000, unbelievable.

6:55 "We're full" We are taking pitiful amounts of refugees compared to literally nearly every country, and we are really not that densely populated. Why not just look at all the houses Brexit supporter Boris Johnson promised and never delivered if you think we're full?

Many people in Britain are really self entitled and dont realise so many of these migrants to not migrate by choice, and that they have earned nothing just by being born into a wealthy country.

Why does he have to mention all the migrants as "muslim" as if it's a dirty word?

7:39 the strain on public services is caused by a lack of funding and the bills IMPOSED by Jeremy Hunt for seven day a week services, NOT BY MIGRANTS.

I don't want to watch him be wrong anymore, this video is literal garbage.

As a general argument, ONCE WE LEAVE WE CANNOT UNLEAVE
this isn't an argument to stay until you prove that staying is the best option, and merkel said that the eu would be screwed without britain so i don't think that's even true

Escurai
I cannot tell you how many womens/LGBT/race workers rights have been improved by the EU either in areas where it would otherwise be impossible.
i'm not sure if you're talking about britain but i don't think you are so i don't think it's valid

Honestly I couldnt watch more of a minute of the video you linked because it looked more like a conspiracy theory video than a serious political message.
this is ad hominem, the points made are valid and the majority if not all are backed by fact so regardless even if you dislike the style of the video you can't act like that means that britain should stay in the eu

Escurai
He goes over free trade and peace agreements like they are nothing important (We need teamwork more than ever with the rise of extremism) and blathers on about sovreignty when each member still votes in global policies, AND we have already opted out of many policies within the EU such as the Schengen Agreement, and even then international policies need a 65% majority of member states to pass.
try watching more than a twentieth of the video before you make this comment


i think it's telling how the first thing you did was look in the comments section of the video. i think you should consider forming your own opinions, escurai (unless it's during games of mafia)

To everyone who argues that there is too much competition for jobs due to all the migrants in the area, for one instead of blocking out competition and making our work force weaker as a whole, we should invest in ways to make local people more equipped for the world of work than their migrant counterparts. Not to mention migrants fill all kind of job slots otherwise unfilled, both skilled like the bountiful amounts in the NHS and unskilled.
you've successfully picked apart an argument that informed people don't make

Escurai
The EU can also help to overturn our disgusting refugee policy on taking 20,000 over 5 years WHICH IS PATHETIC. There are various complaints about migration of those outside the EU being unfair in that they need to meet high requirements to enter in terms of income among other things, but even if we leave the EU, with Cameron's and the next government things are not likely to change for the better regardless.
if you think that letting migrants into your country is good for it then you should look at the state germany's in right now
