All EU citizens now resident in the UK are guaranteed the right to stay.
You sound like somebody who is just parroting pro-EU bullshit.

The UK was wise enough to opt out of the Schengen agreement. Economic migrants from all over the planet are the problem of those countries who chose to dismantle all internal and external borders.
We need to increase our presence in the Channel, rescue migrants who are in danger and deposit them in France.

A Wide-ranging discussion both fascinating and sometimes enlightening
by TerryWalstrom inrubin is a gay atheist formerly affiliated with the young turks, ben shapiro is an orthodox jew who mainly comments on politics from a conservative pov.
dr. jordan b peterson is a professor of psychology at the university of toronto, a clinical psychologist, a public speaker.____none of these men is interested in discussing politics in this discussion, rather in centering on the overlap between rational, secular belief and any underlying religious truth which may be hidden in mythos.i know that sounds like the most boring thing possible--but--i assure you it is riveting.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ophwshr798&t=3112sif you watch through to the last hour, the topic is brilliantly deconstructed with an honesty and intelligence rarely witnessed in live events..

Thanks for the link. I will listen to it later. Shapiro and Ruben are always interesting. I find Peterson profoundly infuriating. He waffles endlessly and says precisely nothing.
From the YouTube comments section — ‘Can you imagine ordering a pizza with Jordan. After 30 minutes of his analyzing each topping, he’s gotten to the five hierarchical toppings that merit further scrutiny’. (3.8K Likes)

Cambridge professor just went full retard ...
by LoveUniHateExams inever heard of david runciman?.
he's a professor of politics at the university of cambridge, no less.. he's also a complete retard, for want of a better word.
according to prof. runciman, six year old children should get the vote, so as to counteract britain's aging population.

I missed the Cofty episode where Dawkins transformed from a wise oracle to being tragically out of touch. What gives? Have Peterson, Harris, Dennett and others suffered a similar fate? - SBF
It was nice when you were away. Nobody wilfully misrepresenting my views and point-scoring. (actually that's not entirely true but he is history)
Never in my entire life have I thought of Dawkins as a wise oracle about anything other than evolutionary biology. His ravings about atheism are lightweight. Just for the record Peterson is a vacuous poseur.
There are no teams SBF. Just because I agree with somebody on one point doesn't mean I admire their opinions on other matters.
It doesn't surprise me you support giving votes to children.

Ireland is in free-fall.
When I was a young pioneer Ireland was the poster-child of growth. The other jewel in the crown was Japan which has flat-lined.

If there are people here who still think the Watchtower still has any value they are conspicuous by their silence.

I'm glad you are willing to engage in dialogue.
As a group of EX-JWs, you coming here telling us why the Watchtower is wrong is like 'teaching your granny how to suck eggs'. The topic that interest many here is not why the WT is a cult — that is a given — but the bigger questions around god, the bible and faith.
If you are going to be effective you need to be open to discussing these fundamental questions.
