I feel the irony is lost on you.
To be fair you don't know how he rates racists.
True.
But I do know ignorance causes a hell of a lot of problems in the world. I also know going with the easy answer depending on your situation is rarely a good thing.
Oh I'm well aware how it comes across for people who can't comprehend that when you are talking about white British in the context of the leave vote you don't mean all white Brits
As a card-carrying leftie, surely you appreciate that there were a lot of white Brits that voted Leave for reasons that have nothing to do with fear/dislike of people with brown skin?
I think there were a hell of a lot of racists and xenophobes in that cohort but you’re probably over-estimating the proportion.
Just all white leave voters right?
Or is it just some?
Or maybe perhaps having a low opinion of people purely for the colour of their skin isn't the right way forward from anyone and maybe not even the actual driving force behind what happened. Maybe I'm wrong though, maybe the cycle of hate is exactly what the world needs.
Nice bit of casual racism followed by sticking your head in the sand Mozza, nice one.
Get a grip Mozza ffs
Not sure there is any point to
Arguing which proportion of the leave voters were racist and which were just thick or both. Sure there’s a pie chart flying about somewhere.
Well it’s a thread about Brexit and when someone says it’s all because “white Brits can't handle anyone that doesn't look like them” then I think it’s fair enough to challenge that opinion.
I miss this gif
canned food to become official dish of Britain
totally normal thing for one of the worlds biggest economies to be doing
His view should be challenged.
No. They are excuses to hide the racism behind
Not sure what else Raab is supposed to say there
I don't have a low opinion because of the colour of their skin. I have a low opinion because of the vote they took
This is like one of those horror films where you can see the characters are going outside in the dark instead of staying safe inside and there is nothing you can do about it when they get attacked by zombies and all you can shout, with tears in your eyes, is "They should have stayed inside! They should have stayed inside!"
"this is going badly"
Well yeah. Hopefully he doesn’t just down tools like the other 500 MPs have because they didn’t get their own way
The fact we're discussing the very idea of whether we'll have enough food or not is the troublesome part...
Mere Semantics. Food is overrated anyhow
Remainers can't undo Brexit if everyone starves and there's no one here anymore!
The Brexiteers will survive on the seemingly limitless amount of werthers originals hidden in odd places around their retirement homes
Stop being such a scaremonger. We will just simply have to start eating each other. We’re all in this together or inside each other for want of a better phrase.
How did we ever survive before the Eu? Sure it's not quite the same but I think we will survive lol.
by taking over half the world and stealing their shit, good luck trying that again lol
Our political leaders generally survived by sending young men off to fight wars for their benefit against a lot of those European countries. That and colonialism.
I jest...partly, in that we were obviously not in the EU when it was first founded, and were largely doing fine. But the political landscape's now changed, and the EU encompasses a good portion of Europe. Suddenly changing the terms and conditions on which we operate with those countries while expecting the same benefits we had before with additional benefits just for ourselves won't work, and yet is still being proposed as a viable solution.
Are they stockpiling spam?
Survival? Not the highest aspiration when you think about it.
We really weren't. Why do you think we wanted in?
Ironically @Mozza, as a fellow Asian, I know family and friends who voted along the same lines as those white racists.
They didn't want more Eastern Europeans coming into the country.

Fine in the sense that despite our troubles we weren't quite to the extent of absolute chaos. Although obviously, yeah, anyone calling those times the 'good old days' is clearly being delusional.
So they were racist too?
Ethnic minorities can be racist too. I belong to one, and have observed it being quite prevalent first hand. We all have our share of cnuts regardless of skin colour and ethnic background.
Yes, lots of us know racist leave voters.
Can i put in an early request for Frey Bentos pies and luncheon meat.
I can't stand Goblin meat pudding and corned beef, so can we use that to barter for goods once Boris Johnson screws the economy.
I'm also gambling on buying trays of cans of London Grill and burying them in the garden. That way I can fleece Cockneys for them when the financial sector collapses and London just remains a centre for musicals and prostitution.

That was not my question. I was asking if their vote was racist since they specifically targeted Eastern Europeans with their vote.
Yes? What makes you think that's a question worth asking?
I think people underestimate the number. At the very least No one can argue that if the racist votes were not cast then logic would dictate with the vote being so close then remain would have won.
