That makes a little more sense, but I doubt there would be enough working holiday visa people to fill the farm jobs, not to mention most millennials would run a mile before spending 8 hours a day in a wet field picking vegetables ;)

Back in the middle to late 90's. Any construction job in London you would have about 80% of the workforce speak Afrikaans. Same with the Pubs and the installation jobs. No idea what the numbers were back then but sure as hell looked like SA people were doing all the jobs the Pommies hated :D

If you didn't expect us to take it seriously IN A SERIOUS DISCUSSION, why the hell did you post it?

I can only conclude it's because you're too heavily brain damaged to argue coherently.

Nea, maybe the two of you are just so deluded with that little stick up your arses. Maybe read the last sentence of that thread again, slowly. Then realise how utterly stupid you guys are. And I will say it again, maybe dumb it down for you two to understand:

Back in the middle to late 90's when working in London myself. Most if not all manual labour jobs had a bucket load of South African's on Working Visas. From experience I would harbour a guess that most of those I saw on the street and pubs were white school leavers on working Holidays from South Africa. I obviously don't have the numbers, but it was a crap load.

Xenophobia found to be strong predictor for Brexit vote regardless of age, gender, or education

ResearchGate said:
Last year, 52 percent of UK citizens voted in favor of Brexit, starting the country on a path to leave the EU. In a new study, researchers have found that xenophobia – the fear of other groups – was strongly linked to the yes vote regardless of age, gender, or education. The study also identified collective narcissism as a predictor of election results. Collective narcissists believe that the UK is entitled to special treatment because of its greatness, which is not being sufficiently recognized by other countries.

...

National collective narcissism stood behind the Brexit vote but also behind the Trump vote in the US. It is linked to support for the nationalist, ultraconservative, Eurosceptic government in Poland and in Hungary. It is linked to support for dictatorial rule of Vladimir Putin in Russia. The concept of collective narcissism was first introduced to describe the sentiments stirred by the Nazis in Germany.
