    What clip? Did they find the thickest racist and interview him? Plenty of thick remainers that know FA about the EU. They never show them though as it doesn’t sit well with the BBC.

    Stacey and Tracey. Google it. Plenty more of them out there. No one has said all Leavers are thick racists apart from Leavers trying to play the victim @Turkish" Premier" Hoops .

    You haven’t exactly shown yourself as a font of EU knowledge today.

    What’s that supposed to mean? Hardly posted about EU today. I have been focusing on Bercow, SNP. I am more than happy to discuss EU with whoever.

    Just seen the video and typical BBC praying on 2 people who were not only nervous, a bit dumb but didn’t articulate very well. They always do that. I wish I had been there, I would have stumped that interviewer with a simple question.

    He is right. Romanians have a reputation for pick pocketing. No good being tree huggers when the facts are there. I posted about the mob in Slough.
    You know Watford you don’t have to be racist to have an opinion.

    You do have to be racist to have racist opinions though.

    Well sadly we now live in a time where many accuse someone of being a racist because it’s the ‘done thing’. I seem to remember on here someone hinting at me because I put up a few memes of Diane Abbott.
    thing was I had double the amount on Jezza? But of course it’s easy to play the racist card... especially when losing the grip of the argument.

    It’s even easier when someone is being very clearly xenophobic and not for the first time.

    I guess my comments on French and Italians changing sides and not being great fighters could be deemed as xenophobia.

    In other news it seems that Bercow has blown his peerage chance with even more allegations coming out. One is supposedly a sexual comment to a young female clerk. Where are all his friends now?

    I know. I am not racist but I do sometimes push the boat out about other countries. Some may deem it unsavoury but I don’t generally mean it. It’s normally childish humour. I actually get on well with people from different countries.

    Well done to Andrew Neil for asking the Eu MEP if the EU will level UP to our standards on certain things if we have to align with them on things. I don’t think she was happy with that idea.

    Navy fishing protection fleet prepares to triple its strength

    The Royal Navy fisheries patrol fleet will grow in case no trade deal can be done
    FRASER GRAY/REX
    Ministers are getting ready to triple the number of boats in Britain’s fisheries protection squadron to police territorial waters in the event of a no-trade-deal Brexit.

    The government has already given the go-ahead to hire two more maritime protection ships and two aerial surveillance aircraft to be operational by the end of the year. The Royal Navy’s fishery patrol squadron at present has five offshore patrol vessels and one helicopter.

    The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has also recruited 30 extra fishery enforcement officers to inspect fishing vessels and make sure they have the right to be in UK waters.

    Ministers are now preparing to redeploy a further 22 boats, which patrol coastal inshore waters at present, if needed,
