Point 1:
The in out EU referendum can take place without further ado. Call it Britain, call it the UK ( a laughable misnomer if ever there was one) call it whatever you like but the people of these islands who are subject of the same head of state are entitled to a referendum on their future. There need be no prior declaration of independence or anything like it, it is for the subjects of the queen who are inhabitants of these islands decide. Nowhere in English law does it require the permission of others to decide our fate.
As I mentioned earlier I genuinely do hope Scotland gains independence, although anyone with an abacus might then see problems on the horizon. I predict that Scottish youth will soon after be obliged to pay for their own education, and the small population of Scotland will be expected to pay more taxes to support it's own health and welfare costs. The next step will be a cap in hand to the EU, followed after rebuttal, by inviting Chinese investment or perhaps the offer of a naval base for big cash.
On the question of substance:
There is no substance in "There are no races just the human race" type statements. It's akin to saying there are no political boundaries, only geographical ones - yet there they are and so often under dispute. I was lucky enough to be born under English common law which bestows certain inalienable rights in perpetuity. One such right is that I, and only I, can relinquish them. A person cannot give them away on my behalf i.e. give away what is not his to give. That isn't a sound bite it is fact under English common law. Look it up, it's in the Magna Carta.
On Immigration.
You state that 'Most immigrants come from the EU.' Please state your sources for this information. I know it to be untrue. It is a deliberately misleading ploy to deflect the truth of the scale of None EU immigrants. I put it to you that the majority of immigrants are Asian and somali African.
On crumbling infrastructure.
Your reply seems to accept that it is in evidence and has become a problem, but merely goes on to blame the architects of our misery. I care not who what or when, (for now) but I do care that it exists, and it must be addressed. The immigrants are not a handy scapegoat, for the most part they are ballast. You commented that the Empire had exploited their lands and alluded that they are in turn doing the same to us. Newsflash! Queen Victoria is dead. We can't be expected to pay the price.
