    No, she can just voice her apparently legitimate concerns (no one is a xenophobe, they’re always legitimate) in a more logical way than ranting about Eastern Europeans when they are/were a net benefit to the economy. Like I said, the alternative that got voted in was Cameron. The bloke didn’t bother wearing a mask.

    Here’s the full transcript of their discussion. It’s hardly a rant against immigrants, just one sentence in a long discussion. I think Brown was pissed off because she said she wouldn’t vote Labour again and he didn’t handle the discussion well. It was stupid and offensive to call her bigoted.

    There are plenty of working class bigots about though. I see them all the time shuffling by through the window while I’m eating my exotic sandwich and drinking my complicated coffee prepared lovingly by a foreigner with a masters degree in Pret.

    Ah so it’s the way she said it then ? So if she was more coherent in her argument that would have been ok ?
    I agree with her argument, the fact that any member of any EU state had the right to live and work here was and is lunacy....and I’ve spoken many times of why I have these views.
    People like yourself can think that makes me a Xenophobe if you so wish....it’s a cross ill have to bare

    The way I see it G....yes there are always gonna be bigots, both from the working class and Elite, and those people you can never change or get on side.
    However with attitudes like Browns and Thornberry’s.....all it does is to push people away and can event turn them that way.
    This I speak of from experience.

    How many times do I have to tell you all that we drink coffee from Gail's, not Pret? Pret is basically for the great unwashed now.

    And then everyone cheered, hoisting Our Jess and her dad on their shoulders amid shouts of "Only 7 hours to save Our NHS!", "Smash the evil Tory scum!" and "Be kind!", whilst the genial, rotund Accident & Climate Emergency Officer quipped "All this fuss for a broken finger nail!"

    Well yes but then you’re neither filthy rich nor a ****ing idiot so that’s a given and the filthy rich have less of a reason to back this shambles than they did before so they’re going to be left with the ****ing idiots soon.
