    I voted for Brexit. I know that the reasons were not due to being a racist or a bigot or indeed a racist bigot. I voted in a national referendum and if the vote had been remain I would have respected the result. That’s all there is to it. Personal opinion.

    The 'bantz' defence, I'm not sure I buy it.

    Why did Johnson just not push ahead with the withdrawal agreement as he had just secured a majority in the HOC for such an eventuality !
    What is the motive for the GE ?
    Why where the members of parliament not privy to the contents of it ?
    What ulterior motive is the Great Liar got up is sleeve ?

    He couldn't push ahead with it, the HoC approved, then immediately blocked it from being implemented.
    The motive for the General Election is to get a majority so he can actually push ahead with it.
    Not sure I understand that question, parliament were obviously aware of the contents of the withdrawal agreement.

    Does anyone recall the champagne socialists, such as Blair, Mandelson etc craping on the working class and getting away with it? I do. I was once a member of the party until I saw the direction of travel and quit. The Labour party is still full of them.

    Parliament
    New Labour wasn't a socialist party.

    Blair was Thatcher with a velvet glove over a iron fist.

    Corbyn is supposedly an advocate of the UK staying together, this from a man who openly supports a united Ireland. I wish he'd just come out and say he'd support a second Indyref over the border, instead of dodging the issue.

    Interesting item of the BBC 1pm news pouring doubt on the veracity of the photograph of the child lying on the floor of the hospital. Labour dirty tricks?
    Plus John Ashworth recorded saying that he has little time for Corbyn.
    Tories had a bad day yesterday. Today its Labour's turn.

    Didn’t see that on the 1pm news, so if you have a link to the BBC article/report which is questioning the truth behind the incident, I’d be interested to see.

    However, earlier today Telegraph ‘journalist’ Allison Pearson was trending on the issue.

    She had tweeted that the parents had ‘staged the event’ despite the hospital actually acknowledging this happened and publicly apologising. She has now deleted this tweet but I understand she may be still subject to legal action from the parents for libel.

    Here evidence is/was based around this, which interestingly had been spread by various twitter accounts (likely bots). Here is a collected screen shot of some of them, all claiming to have a good friend who works at “Leeds hospital”

    On the subject of bots, and the spread of misinformation. This one of the best examples:

    The first one was dodgy and the accounts been deleted, the second one made a twat of himself and has apologised and the third one is a Labour Councillor who seems to have been hacked.

    To claim all Brexit voters as racist is unfair and doesn't help. However, whilst not all brexit voters are racist, I reckon you can safely assume that all (give or take) racists who voted, voted to leave.

    I had actually just seen those two explanations you mention. Big ouch for the Labour Councillor too.

    There are more screenshots of other accounts doing it too (not going to clog up here by posting) that include seemingly dodgy accounts.

    Did Johnson think it was a fake when he refused to look at it about five times?
