Anyone noticed the Unicef ad on TV

We had the solution a couple of hundred years ago: The British Empire.

Countries that cannot look after themselves should come under the protection of richer countries in a reciprocal arrangement whereby the rich country provides security, education, employment, housing, infrastructure and opportunity in return for the natives' labour and all the various trade commodities that the richer country needs.

Applying that thought today would require the natives to agree to that deal.

In cases with China and some African countries that's sort of happening I suppose

Will you still feel this way when the American Empire buys us out and we officially become the 51st state of the union?

That has already happened, our culture has gradually been replaced by inferior American culture in the years since the end of WW2. Not in my house though. And don't forget, America was created by British people.

We should’ve stayed closer to Europe, countries like France retain far more of their culture.

UK is full of chavs and gammons

I used to think American culture had begun to dominate Britain after WWII but i read a book review about the chap who founded the Daily Mail, Viscount Northcliffe, who complained about American influence in the years leading up to the First World War: ironically, he'd founded the Mail based on American newspapers and one of the first issues the paper highlighted was --- yeah, immigrants.
The more that things change, the more they stay the same, eh?
A long read about the early years of the paper can be found @Spartacus.com
American industry had already begun to overtake Britain before the end of the 19th century and once Henry Ford got going with his mass production methods their rise to world dominance was inevitable.
If your house is indeed free of American influence then you're clearly living in a Victorian paradise.;)

We haven't moved away from Europe, we have (or are trying to) get away from the EU. The EU is an evil political organisation with no interest in different cultures or democracies. EU is not Europe.


And so they should.

Must be a strange concept to you - to want to see the UK prosper. Clearly, the UK needs foreign trade. Only a moron would vote to jeopardise trade with our nearest neighbours.

That wasn't understood to be part of the original question on staying or leaving the EU, was it?
Johnson and his gimps decided to have themselves a hard Bre*it and leave the customs union.

Did anybody have a problem with Britain being a member of a common market for trade, which was the idea it was sold on originally. Sure they were in the minority at the time and so we joined.
It's what it's morphed into is the problem those with brains as big as planets accept what it's morphed into without argument, for reasons only they know, something us dumb sh*t brexiteers can't fathom.
 
I didn't think I said there was a problem when we voted to go in at then idea of a common market. If you vote later to come out when given a chance, then that gives the impression there became a problem for the majority.
