    I think you're exaggerating, some Polish people don't really care for many Western Europeans, I for one am of Polish heritage, and don't like Western Europeans, I think they're significantly more dumb, and primitive than us.

    Especially in light of recent Western Europeans trying to push Muslim refugee quotas on Polish, definitely has changed many Polish perceptions of Western Europe.

    Brits the most humane people in the World?

    Hahahaha, OMG that's a good joke.

    More like one of the most inhumane people in the World.

    Eccentric or not, I like the British because they have a sense of humor. Sign of brilliance I say!

    Ian Duncan Smith claiming there is an 80% turnout on English Council estates which he appears to believe will help brexit.

    I have to admit that when I voted and noticed the pencil it did occur to me that they could change my vote should they so wish!

    I'm guessing leave will barely win but that wouldn't be the end of the issue. The divides appearing in the west are too deep for that.

    You're in the US right? Well if it wasn't an 'Anglo' culture, you wouldn't be, so let's not knock it.

    Now what was it you said about pushing the Muslims on Poland? Do you think these people became refugees because they wanted to? The Poles are not willing to open their hearts to help them, and yet they condemn other nations for not wanting the Poles. Not a good reflection on you people now is it?

    How many Muslims are there now in Poland, because I know in Greece it is about 5% of the population, and that 100,000 arrived in two months alone. The government said the orphans will now be considered Greek children, and the other children of the refugees will be attending Greek schools so they can become part of the culture in case they do not leave.

    It's good for the Greeks though, because it taught them humanity...and how can they help it after seeing all the bodies of dead children. As one bishop told them, 'let's not think of how we are going to handle the problem, and instead think of what are we going to do for these people.

    Anyway it's not the refugees that are the problem, it is the migrants ...and especially those from Afghanistan. Some of them are militants.

    I'd rather have been born in Poland, I feel like an alien in America, these people aren't my own.

    Oh, it's so great that Muslim refugees took part in the Brussels terrorist attack, and in the Boston bombing.

    That's real great Humanity there. LOL

    Not a good reflection on Polish people for standing up to the Muslim refugees?

    Hmm, that's funny because in the comments on videos like this you see tons of pro-Polish praise for standing up to the Muslim refugees.

    I'm hoping that we leave the EU and will be staying up to watch the vote counting tonight. We've been dictated to by corrupt EU bureaucrats for too long.

    I have no desire to be apart of a European superstate.

    The look like some far right group but whoever they are the shouter admits that they are hated in public debate. Poland has both the far right on the rise and those opposing it. That basically is the Western political world at the moment.

    So to bring this to Brexit. Brexit and maybe the far right wins and the EU comes tumbling down resulting in Europe developing many ethnic nationalist states carrying on as such do...However if they are right and it is a small vote for remain then it is a big wake up call for the EU. https://vimeo.com/155121869

    First result in from Gibraltar Leave 826 Remain 19,322. Obviously a unique situation and does not say anything.

    On-the-day recontact poll shows YouGov's final figures as Remain 52% and Leave 48%

    Joe Twyman, YouGov's Head of Political and Social Research: "Today YouGov conducted a survey, going back to the same people we spoke to yesterday to find out how they actually voted. The survey found a small move to Remain and based on these results we expect the United Kingdom to continue as a member of the European Union. Remain are on 52% with Leave on 48%.

    Gibraltar just officially voted to Remain. As expected.

    So far, we have 19.332 votes for Remain and 800 for Leave.

    Absolutely disgusting. Let's just give it back to the Spanish or give them their independence. They basically govern themselves anyway.

    Miedlar is right though, there is a clear leftist agenda to tarnish Polish people, and the Catholic church.

    Look at how despite Catholic clergy are no more likely to be pedophiles than the general population, the media has gone mad trying to brandish the Catholic clergy as pedophiles.

    Look at how Polish are left, and right, brandished as Holocaust collaborators, even though Polish had the highest number of Righteous Among the Nations who risked their lives to save Holocaust Jews, and Poland had the lowest rate of Nazi collaborators in Occupied Europe.

    Look at the dumb Polak joke pushed by Liberals in the U.S.A, despite a high Polish American IQ of 109 in the 1970's when dumb Polak jokes were pushed.

    Look at the constant bombardment of anti-Polish agenda pushed in British media, with Polish brandished as criminals, even though Polish make up less than 1% of Britain's criminals, and 1% of Britain's prison population, despite Polish making up more than 1% of Britain.

    Sounds like an idea. Although I don't think that the Gibraltans (if that's the actual ethonym) care that much anyway.

    Newcastle about to announce. Expected to be marginally in favour of remain. On first look this is not good for remain. For it to be good for remain, Newcastle should be 60% remain. However one result cannot be taken as how things are necessarily going to go.

    Turnout 68%

    The result was only something over 50% to remain so that means it may not be as first thought.

    Orkney has delivered a 63% in favour of remain - pretty as expected.

    Altogether now Leave 68,614 Remain 91,915

    Get out of this thread. It is on a vote on Brexit. The results of which are coming in. Start another thread rather than continually taking this one off topic.

    Well, anti-Polish agenda in the British media, seems to be a big thing that has pushed people towards Brexit.

    The Sunderland result has now come through suggesting Leave may have a stronger position than first thought. The pound against the dollar falling. Leave may win.

    Result so far 161,744 Leave 158,537 remain.

    I am off to sleep!

    Wrong. They've had two referendums and always voted for British rule.

    Looking like the Brexit will be a reality. The theater shooting in Germany may have caused the middle of the road people to go with Brexit over the immigration concerns.
