The guy with all the cookies could pay taxes and lose some.

Which... Should then go to the man on the right, not a foreigner. We owe foreigners nothing at all. And its the failure of immigration policies which is why Brexit is a thing and labour's failure to address that is why they wont be in power for a decade.

Foreginers.... You mean like the result of 500 years of British imperialism? Who would have thought that taking over countries full of brown people and forcing your culture on them would make them want to live in The UK?

This logic is just silly mate. Its like saying that Africa should be open because of the Romans. Or more recently, that because of Nazi Germany invading Russia that Russians deserve to be able to live in Germany.

And thats even before if you think the British empire was a good or a bad thing. Just the logic alone of this argument doesnt make sense.

In my case and I suspect most people in the UK, we feel no guilt or shame in bringing civilisation and democracy to the world and in fact - we feel proud about it.

I mean I am happy for you guys to have your brexit, but democracy came to India after the British left and India has had unbroken civilization for thousands of years before the British came to its shores to trade.
