Brexit. Why do Brits want Out of the EU?

The culture would eventually, in my opinion, be watered down, as young people take jobs on the continent and return with a different mindset, what I don't know;

And why, do you think, such would start now and not 10, 20, 30 or 40 years ago? And what about the hundred thousands of more senior UK-citizens living and working in continental Europe?

This has nothing to do if I agree or not - I just wanted to know why you came to such an opinion.

It was interesting, thank you.

And, as I've mentioned recently here, many American Jewish males, during the post WWII era, were given British first names (Harry, Stanley, Barry, Irving, etc.), to the point that many thought those were Jewish first names. Likely the Balfour Declaration was what motivated that Anglophilism?

Beginning with the Babylonian Exile, non-Jewish names found their way into the Jewish given name lexicon and occupied varying positions of importance, depending on which category of Jew adopted them, in which time period they were adopted, and in which country they were chosen.

During the massive immigrations 1881-1914 from Europe to the US, certain English names were very popular among the immigrants. There was a definite statistical linkage between each of these English names and the Jewish names which the immigrants had in Europe, and this linkage can be useful in genealogical research. The same was true of immigrants to other English-speaking countries.

The entrance/exit stamp in passports were not just for UK. That was for every country you travelled in and out of for several years.

I wouldn't like to see the British turn into watered down lemonade as an anology.

Just try lemon cordial

Foofie is a turd stirrer--it doesn't know anything about history, or current events, or other nations, or any of the other topics upon which it pontificates. It's just trying to get a rise of of someone . . . anyone.

... We aren't "watered down lemonade", we're a rich pot-pourri of multiple ethnicities. Most of us are heartily glad that this is so, and don't want to go back, which i impossible anyway.
