    That was shown to be bollocks when it was posted. It's just a typically ****e Billy Brag soundbite.

    Yes, I'm educated. And, I'm a long way from being an idiot.

    But, of course, you and your boneheaded Hull mate, are far too stupid, and far too far up your own arses to realise that.

    Tbh I don't, and never have thought that you can generalise about what ever racists has or hasn't done. Though I certainly don't think every Leave voter is a racist. I do think a significant proportion were concerned with immigration - speaking to friends/family and from being on social media, and also from reading articles have all given me this belief. Again not saying all or majority. The rise in hate crime against immigrants seems to confirm this as well.

    I also think that the EU being 'undemocratic' or 'taking our country back' were strong factors for a significant proportion of leave voters.

    I do think it is ironic in both cases though that leaving will probably have little affect on the number of migrants as 1) they bring huge economic benefits (£8.8bn estimate) and are needed to supplement our working age population 2) the majority of our immigration is from outside the EU and 3) we will more than likely need to agree to Free Movement of People or join the Schengen Zone. Also as to the other point they have voted to leave the democratic EU and have given more power to the less democratic UK government which is heavily influenced by Rupert Murdoch.

    No, you're an expert, I know, you've made that clear, you've told us often enough.

    Do you think I live in Hull? Do you think I am a mate of Dutch? You really are quite funny.

    So what's your point. Is being concerned about immigration the same as racism? If not then perhaps you should drop the racist comment.

    Good, I wasn't intending to be. I know you wasn't intending to be either; never mind.

    WTF? Did you read my post? Where did I compare concerns on immigration to racism or call you racist?

    Crabb pulls out of leadership race. Why did he stand in the first place? He's a potential future leader as he ticks a lot of boxes but it was always too early right now.

    May looks like a certainty. Another Remain PM.

    Ironic.

    Think it's for the best mate,TBH. When it comes to negotiations with the EU I think a well know remain voter will be better accepted than a Brexit supporter.
