Brexiteers want migrants to come to England

The Daily Mail and The Daily Express want millions of immigrants to come to England.

Yes, you read that right. The most racist and xenophobic tabloids in the UK want foreigners to come and live in England. A far cry from their headlines over the pas few decades:

They thought it was a good idea to get rid of millions of foreigners 'because they're stealing British jobs and are too lazy to work' but now they want them back.

Racist Britons had no idea that the British econonomy (like all economies) for a great deal rely on foreign workers. Simply be looking at numbers they could have known. But instead the listened to right wing politicil leader Nigel Farage and his friends. 

Approximately 14 percent living in Britain was not born there. Why can't people simply realize what it means to kick out 1 in 7 people out of your country? The Polish lorrydriver, the Indian foodstand, you kids' French teacher, the Dutch employer at some tech company, the French nanny, et cetera.

What would English Football look like without the 330 out of 519 players in the Premier League?

How can people be so misguided that they think it's a good idea to live in a country without foreigners?

But you can't say that most people who voted Brexit are stupid. Can you? Oh, yes you can. Because it simply is stupid to be racist.

He wanted more! (A short story)

When he saw her it appeared that she had been born from the power of his desire.

The past months he had woken up every day knowing that the time was right for an encounter.

In his thoughts he had called at least a 100 times 

and every time with the same result. In his fantasy their date went to full satisfaction.

He realised he would have to clean his house. What if she agreed to come with him straight away?

Finally he found the courage to meet her and so he found himself in a pizzeria with her. 

The pizza undoubtedly was delicious but that was beside the point.

What did matter was that her thigh was pressed against his 

and because of it he had trouble keeping the conversation going.

The wine tasted fine.

He wanted more!

Are you genetically superior?

Can you imagine not having been born? Probably not. Yet every year thousands of pregnancies are being terminated. In a few scenario's I can understand why: when the pregnancy is life threatening to the mother, and when she was raped but other than that? No. Still: 90 Percent of all British parents end the pregnancy when they find out their child will be born with Down's syndrome. 

In The United States of America around 70 percent of infants with Down's are never born. Because their parents don't want them to. Apparently parents want 'the perfect child'. Of course you want your child to be healthy and happy. But kids with Down's cán be happy and healthy. If given a chance that is.

There was an article that said Icelandic parents are the worst and abort 100% of all foetuses with Down's. It was in an American newspaper. So for the most part untrue. 

However, the fact remains that in most countries women (it's seldom the father who chooses) can decide if they find a defect reason enough to end a pregnancy. 

Do we really want a world without people with all kind of shortcomings? A world without Stephen Hawking, Frida Kahlo, Andrea Bocelli and all those other people who are considered 'handicapped' but also inspired so many others to overcome disabilities and give the world so much in art, science, sports? Who decided that people with disabilities aren't fully functioning human beings and should be terminated?

Who are we to decide who lives and who dies? 

I know and have known several people with several kinds of disabilities. None of them I consider sub-human. Yet society does. Why do you think that society only wants some kind of 'Übermensch' to walk the Earth? And isn't that one of the things we hated the Nazis for?

Here's what I think of people (not just men) who think they are more worthy of life because they are 'genetically superior':
