One of the reasons for Brexit is that many in the UK wanted the EU Poles to leave. A non-racist EU gave Poland membership in the EU, which caused a massive exodus of Poles to the UK and other countries. Now if this tiny racist group in the OP's Pic (with their dumbass redundant statement that whiteness is somehow threatened) manages to grow and have any influence in Poland, they too can help remove Poland from the EU. The consequence will be greater Russian control in Poland, authoritarian policies, and shitty lives for Poles. That banner was designed and printed in Russia, FYI (or not).

only reason most british supported brexit is they wanted less immigrants who ruin their economy driving down wages. The crime doesn't help but really it's economic. Of course Boris Johnson betrays them and lets in immigrants anyway, but at least it's a soverign nation now letting in the great replacement instead of being forced to. It showed they need to get rid of the royal family to turn back the tide.

Not just driving wages down.

In the UK benefits can be paid into foreign bank accounts so so people come over, sign on them go home. They also get council houses and sublet them.

This is why so many British nationals got caught in Afghanistan when the Taliban took over even though they got citizenship through the asylum system because apparently their own country was too dangerous for them to stay there.

afghanistan is so funny, I love it, so many people stayed there and thought all the talk USA had said about getting out was just words, since different presidents had said it for years yet never did withdraw troops. Love to see it, Biden's only good move. Probably forced to by some sort of blackmail.

Agreed on all points, though you may also know that the hatred for Poles in the UK has been rather severe. And as you note, there are still many immigrants arriving in the UK, though perhaps not as many as before. More importantly, the UK no longer has a number of the important trade arrangements with the EU and some other countries and will now have to negotiate trade at a disadvantage to other countries. Big corp and richer countries will now enjoy carving up and abusing UK businesses and workers, while also bribing politicians, and hiding the profits in tax havens (which is the main reason the .01% invested in spreading Brexit propaganda. Still waiting for the NHS to get their £350k/month. Dominic Cummings is a crook.). But I digress.

yeah people act like they're racist but they don't want any immigrants, white polish people nor black or brown people from elsewhere. Rich had tax havens before and after, that had nothing to do with brexit.

See: EU's Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive

The deadline for the requirement to announce offshore income coincided with the initial Brexit deadline. See also: https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/brexit-news-is-the-anti-tax-avoidance-directive-the-reason-the-rich-31946/

tax avoidance in UK isn't new, the beatles taxman was complaining about that, the rich often get their money out of there. brexit had nothing new there

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yes. But it was going to be illegal to avoid reporting on offshore accounts, whereas this avoidance was legal previously.

already was problem is no enforcement

EU won't do that. It's run by goldman sachs. Another reason people are so anti-EU is they were pushing for austerity to pay for the debts from the 2008 recession. Rather than raising taxes on the rich. Neoliberals never want to tax the rich. Brexit by itself is a leftwing economic move. Of course Boris Johnson then kept all the same policies with the typical politician betrayal.

greater Russian control in Poland

How would that happen?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Gazprom and other forms of business would return, if unregulated, and would compete against Gaz-System and other companies, partially by buying politicians.

When you start pretending that racism isn't perfectly warranted if you're white, I know you're jewish.
