Current Affairs EU In or Out

[gonetomorrow]

I've heard some of them operate a shady network of locations called Polski Skleps

Are they not run by decent hard-working EU citizens then?

Well that was some good fishing. Good work @Tubey

as textbook an answer as you could have wished for

As far as you are concerned, sure. But it's an indisputable fact that Brexit was driven in large part by the extreme right wing and, yes, a sizeable amount of racists.

That doesn't mean I'm calling you a racist for voting that way - I'm simply saying racists, for their own reasons, voted the same way.

Not all people who voted for Brexit are racists, but all racists voted for Brexit. There was literally zero reason for a racist to vote remain.

Dear god tubey, ‘extreme right wing’, ‘racist’. You forgot to throw in the usual ‘old’, ‘didn’t know what they voted for’ and all the other crap that Remainers need to feed on in order to understand why their own cowardice of standing on their own two feet didn’t win the vote.......

Once more, you are taking comments not applicable to you and taking offence.

I'm not saying you are a racist - I'm saying you voted the same way as racists. That's just a fact you need to come to terms with.

 

[Tubey]

All racists? Do you have proof of that? Maybe those who have suffered at the hands of the dregs of Europe who have come to live here (my daughter for one - and they were Poles, who are not ALL hard-working builders, plumbers etc) though not racists, agree with me that we have enough spongers of our own without importing more who wish to take advantage of our hospitality. But that is probaby (note I don't say "definitely' as I have no proof) just one aspect, albeit not a small one, of why Leavers voted the way they did.

OK, so I can go and live in Romania if I so wish, but if Romania is such a nice place to live why do Romanian thugs come to live here? I have no problem at all with decent, hard-working EU citizens, and genuine asylum-seekers coming to live in the UK, and don't want them to be repatriated when we leave. I do worry though that there will be a rush to get here before the Brexit window slams shut.

I also think that whole of the island of Ireland belongs to the Irish - God knows why any would want to be associated with Britain, given our history towards the the Irish. Maybe that would be a quick fix to the backstop too, even though it's as likely as Boris not becoming the next leader of the Conservative Party.

Let me put it this way - imagine that someone who voted in the referendum did so primarily on the grounds that they're a racist.

Would they have voted Leave or Remain?

Here's the answer - there was no reason for a racist to vote Remain, and quite a few reasons for them to vote Leave.

So I'll say it again and I really have to stress the need to read this carefully... not all people who voted for Brexit are racist, but all racists voted for Brexit.

I’m not taking offence tubey, I just expected better from you.....apologies for butting in.....

Sorry for butting in again. You say that there was no reason for Racists to vote Remain. Well here’s one. Inside the EU most of our immigrants tend to be white and European. Outside of the EU they will mostly be non white. So using your own logic racists voted Remain........

No one voted for a no deal Brexit because it wasn't on the table. Rather we were told that as soon as we triggered Brexit countries would queue to deal with us. The EU wouldn't be do stupid as to not give us a great deal because they need us more than we need them. Instead no deals are forthcoming. The EU have made it clear there's no easy deal and to top it off the backstop makes it nigh on impossible to get out gracefully. But keep telling yourself this is what you wanted while every single forecast says well be worse off

Wrong. Read the government's Brexit leaflet that was posted to every household. EVERYONE was told that it could take 10 years of uncertainty to negotiate new deals.

But enough fools believed the actual tripe spouted by others, and dismissed the reality as project fear.

No need to patronise me, Tubey, I read it carefully the first time. Pete Blue has already come back on your post so I'll leave it at that.

The thing I honestly do not understand is that he's voted for Communists - actual communists, not the imaginary ones that the Mail goes on about. Yet Corbyn = Marxism, apparently.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Is there anyone here who didn't vote yet is contributing to the discussion? I'd like to think not, but you never know.

Oh Pete. They don't want selective immigration, they want no immigration.
