But I aint racist and how dare you suggest I am.
No one ever mentions Gideon Osborne who will return to polictical life who was the instigator of Austerity...or Sir Vince who sold our post office for peanuts, and the Osbourne's relation made a financial killing - I am joking you know but he got the people a referendum on the EU no doubts about it......
then we voted OUT .... I wonder why he is returning.........
FGS Bruce its a bit of banter I even insulted myself over saltgate .......Joe, you have complained numerous times on here about apparent bullying, yet consistently throw out remarks like wet, bitch and so on. Perhaps be the change you wish to see in others
It's amazing how you jump in on Brexiteers yet remainers have their way on this thread - when you were away in the USA - it was groundhog night , all in good banter ........
Oh I'm well aware.
Serious Crime Act 2007, Section 44 'Intentionally encouraging or assisting an offence'
Or Terrorism Act 2006 Section 1 encouragement of Terrorism should apply really.
I can see him coming back when the tories crumble ........just a hunch... only if he feels he can get the highest position possible......
Yes it is strange that nobody mentions Osborne and Austerity in relation to Brexit
Oh wait:
It's debatable really. I think you could make a legitimate case to say that Austerity coupled with 'populist' agendas and a desire for Libertarianism among Tory ranks, leading to the referendum, was a much greater, and continue s to be a greater threat to UK democracy.
A practice of 'backsliding' as described below, begins the process:

Far-right and Anti Immigration rhetoric on social media and in the press has consistently targeted individual rights (Human Rights Act, Equality Act). Where this becomes popular perception, individual freedoms are at risk. The Brexit process will inevitably have a negative impact on individual rights. UK citizens will lose all rights derived from EU citizenship, including free movement in EU member states. Not just free movement but all rights derived from the EU Charter:
EU Charter of Fundamental Rights
Find the full text of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, as well as why we need the charter, and when it applies.ec.europa.eu
The charter only operates within the scope of EU membership, so won't be relevant in the event of No Deal.
In respect if the referendum itself. By giving so much credibility to a (relativeky speaking) slim majority vote in an advisory referendum (although I accept it is now considered legally bindin), where the campaigns were subject to criticism for the lack of informed debate and uncertain positions, the government is pursuing a mandate that is unclear in its terms, meaning and consequences.
Whatever people like Rees-Mogg and @peteblue might say, people clearly didn't vote for No Deal en masse; they voted for a reaction to the status quo and against the 'status quo' championed by Cameron and Osborne. They voted for anything and everything that was falsely promised by Leave campaingers.
A vote for a speculative and vague position is a vote in support of anything and, therefore nothing at all. The oroblem, as I've alluded to previously in the thread is that Executive action taken under an unclear mandate weakens the authority of Parliament (and the Democracy of the UK). Defaulting to a No Deal is a Political and Democratic failure, as the public by and large cannot easily predict what comes next.
Equally, Leave campaingers knowingly offering the unfeasible (however attractive to the average voter) diminishes the public choice. Voting to implement a form of Brexit that was promised but is ultimately legally unfeasible is meaningless. Likewise, without public consideration of the current options available, knowing that the legal position in a binding vote would've been a voiding of the result, it too diminishes the Democratic process as you cannot practically deliver what was promised.
I would post some quotes from @abelard on Austerity, but there's about 4 pages worth.
Still here Joe.
....just watched the launch of The Brexit Party with a speech from Annuziata Reese-Mogg. All these extremely posh people wanting a hard Brexit is a major concern to me. In recent months the ERG and pressure groups like Guido Fawkes are full of people with fancy names and plums in their mouths.
I’m surprised more isn’t made of it.

Unfortunately, I think there is a sizeable group of people that will vote for Farage because they see him as representing their interests and 'defending Britain'. I think they want greater control over immigration to benefit UK nationals, rather than because of racist views.
The issue is that he attracts and plays upon more extreme elements and as such, the former group will be standing arm in arm with people that do want to 'reduce immigration to Zero', who are racists and white supremacists.
Where as warmonger Blair and co Branson etc wanting Brexit to reversed are no any worry?
Blair who aspires top be a leader of the EU.......
They are largely the people who put the majority of content out about it through the media. It's no surprise there isn't much said about it.
Those pesky liberal elites though eh!
I think his aspirations extend far beyond that.
He should and Bush tried at the Hague for war crimes imo - so they make him a peace envoy for the middle east - you could not make that up......
He has tried to reverse Brexit from Day one...... he is more of a shyster than Farage.......
Treating people differently because of their nationality is by definition racist though. It's a shame that this even needs explaining in 2019
