It’s is tasteless, very deliberately so, and so is the general spreading of association with Racism.......perhaps that too may now cease.....

Your comment was grounded in absolutely nothing and was simply an attempt at provocation. It was just crass.

On the racism claims, I doubt it, considering there is plenty of evidence regarding racist campaigning particularly on behalf of Leave.eu

As I've just said, it is more stupid. Significantly so.

Whether you like it or not, your viewpoint aligns with that of racists on this matter. It doesn't mean you are being called a racist personally, but you are on the same side as Yaxley-Lennon, Batten and co. It's not an "inappropriate association" - you are standing for the exact same thing.

So I'll say it again - the vast majority of racists support the thing you do. That's an indisputable fact. Instead of getting moody over me saying that, perhaps ask yourself why that is.

It’s hard for people who voted to leave to admit that many others did so due to racist and xenophobic reasoning as doing so would lead to accusations of association.

I know one guy (far left) who ‘voted for chaos’ who has admitted that the vote for many people was racially charged.

No more stupid than Leavers on here having to put up with ignorant association with being Racist. @AndyC @Bruce Wayne . So now that I’ve picked up an inappropriate comment report for trying to highlight the stupidity of people making inappropriate associations, I hope that all such other associations with being Racist are also stamped down upon......

I don't see the connection at all Pete? We can argue about the proportion of leave voters who acted as they did because they wanted to reduce the number of foreigners in Britain, but the fact is that many did. I'm not sure anyone voted because of sexual deviances towards children.

Brexit means something different to different people. It's the main reason people who support remain give for the referendum being flawed, and to support calls for a peoples confirmatory vote.

So no. We are most definitely NOT all standing for the exact same thing.

Or does Brexit only mean Brexit when it suits your agenda?

Well as I said that's not the wisest choice of words since it usually detracts from the actual message and it's quite easy to hide behind since they can say "well we haven't killed ... we are not ... etc ...". And before you know it you end up having a conversation about the Nazi's and they can play the aggrieved party - not an opportunity you want to give to horrible people. The guy probably just wanted to express his disgust- could have done that in a better way. Hard not to tbh; Rees-Mogg is tweeting about people who want to sink migrant boats etc ...

You can try all you want , (and as I said numerous times before: I think the leave vote should be respected), generally speaking the politicians on the remain side (compared to the figureheads of Leave) of the debate don't go out being friendly with everything that is somewhat euro-sceptical regardless of their further morals and come out with hideous statements/affiliations etc... I don't think it's okay that quite a few leave-voters/politicians (again not all; tiresome btw having to repeat this; it's like talking about the class men and then someone pops up saying NAMALT) praise figures like Orban, Wilders etc... when they come out with a critical statement (wrong most of the time) about the EU foregoing everything else.

Remain-politicians can say stupid things: like every leave voter is ..., disrespect democracy (touchy this because it depends on your definition), careerist ... Can be (very) incompetent for sure, but they (generally) don't stoop to the above lows.



The rest is a bit difficult. You and @dead_soft were having a bizarre interchange and somehow you ended up quoting one of my previous posts in there. I don't think I called anyone distasteful btw.

I agree with some of that the UK Government have not accepted democracy- not by a small percentage but over 1 million votes - he kept on intimating I was a liar and lied that's the history we have had ok
I remind posters at the end of the day we are all blues on here.......
If I used your part of your post sorry...

I absolutely agree. It might be worthwhile having a conversation with some of your other leave voting pals in this thread who seem to think everyone voted for 'No Deal'.
