May is a massive advocate of removing freedoms and privacy from uk citizens. She isn't someone I would want having full control. Now whilst I'm not suggesting Boris is some kind of brilliant choice, I would choose him over her. My personal preference would be for someone with a bit of integrity like Jacob Rees-Mogg.
But garnered from the General Chat. Read some other threads on there about the explosion of racism since Friday. If Remainers have got one fight left in them it should be to ensure that the police pursue EVERY case of racism. even by a 90 year old twat on a bus, to imprisonment if necessary. Saying it's not about racism is like saying that the Third Reich was primarily about building autobahns. Evasive nonsense.
Perhaps not. But your continued stream of pro-exit posts means the mask of neutrality has slipped somewhat.
You're choosing to ignore the pro remain ones then PS...there are a lot more remainders here than leavers so it's easier to get bites PPS...it's majority leavers around these parts so I don't see much for remain.
How's this one... "To all of those thinking Brexit means kicking out all the "immigrants", Take a miute to think where we would be without them. In 1940, Britain stood alone against the might of Nazi Germany. The Nazi totalitarian state represented the most viscous and violent threat to the rights of man the world has ever experienced. In the space of less than one year, Germany had invaded and subjugated Poland, Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg, Holland, Belgium and France. Now she stood poised across the English Channel, needing only to knock the Royal Air Force from the skies, before sending her gray-clad army across the waters to occupy London and the other British cities. Anyone growing up in this country will be familiar, to some degree, with the tale of what came next. Brave British fighter pilots, facing overwhelming odds, fought in England’s blue skies all summer against the might of the German Luftwaffe. When it was over, we stood victorious, saved by The Few; that handful of fighter pilots. The Germans pulled back and decided that it made more sense to attack the vastness of the Soviet Union than to attempt to defeat our small island. But most people have forgotten, or they never knew, that The Few was a truly multinational force. Fliers from across Europe, and from the British Dominions, had volunteered to fight in large numbers. During the Battle of Britain, Poland alone contributed over ten percent of the fighter pilots engaged. Bomber Command would later be twenty percent Polish. Poland’s contribution to the military efforts of the Western Allies was not limited to flying aircraft. Polish soldiers made up the fourth largest Allied ground force; over 400,000 men and women. Poles who had been taken to the Soviet Gulag by Stalin following the Soviet occupation of eastern Poland, later made their way to the Middle East, via Persia. Here they too joined up to fight and they served in North Africa and Italy, most notably becoming the victors at the famous battle of Monte Cassino. It was the Poles who broke the secret German Enigma coding system, possibly winning the war for the Allies with this single act. Poles uncovered the secrets of the German rocket programme and reported on the events of the Holocaust as they unfolded. Poles suffered, pro-rata, the heaviest losses of any nation during the Second World War, yet the Polish underground resistance became the largest and most active in Europe, tying down vast numbers of German soldiers, who would otherwise have been fighting on the front lines. Another forgotten army of Poles, some 300,000 strong, fought alongside the Soviet Red Army. They drove from the heart of Russia to Berlin, suffering massive losses along the way. But these men and women also displayed the dogged determination that is characteristic of their nation. They fought Nazism longer than any other people and they suffered more. One and a half million Poles were taken as slave labour to the Reich, for example, and an estimated half million Polish children were kidnapped from their parents and raised as Germans for their racial characteristics. Yet the Poles prevailed and to this day, even the youngest Pole can tell you the story of Poland’s struggle, exhibiting a knowledge of history and a national pride that few British children can match. So, the next time you hear Polish spoken, or meet a group of Poles in the street or in a park, do not apply the mental badge, ‘immigrant’ and avoid them. Instead, badge them as the sons of daughters of heroes who gave their all that we might live freely, working and travelling as we please. Go and talk to them about Poland’s long war; you will see their eyes light up and you will hear the pride in their voices. And you will walk away inspired."
Must have missed them. I've been away overnight until earlier this afternoon. However, I did see the one where an extreme nationalist gives the finger to people who harbour concerns about the way our country is going. At first I thought it was a foolish, inflammatory thing to post, but I've since reconsidered. I think all those who voted to leave out of a genuine belief that it is for the best should be reminded of the kind of right-wing bigotry they've unwittingly given support to.
Leave wants all descent to shut up that's all. A decision was taken. So I told you so is all remain camp has left. I can't wait for reality to set in. I think it'll take a while. I don't think or I don't hope at least there's a crash tomorrow... I feel as though there's going to be drip drip drip over 3 months. If the conservatives don't get act together and Germany starts feeling a pinch there could be a major crisis.
That's fine but what if is Slovakia no that people really hate? I mean.... it's irrational anyway so why not claim that as an excuse
I genuinely don't care mate. What will be will be and there is absolutely diddly squat you, I or anyone else (unless you're a politician) can do about it.
Good. The police have got you. We outsourced saints account to chine while he's being re-educated in a gulag in Glasgow. It's fine to talk to a guy in China but if he's Chinese in England he's got to be deported if you find him.
I do find it bizarre that the people of this country that donned the jacket of progressive liberalism and bathed in the gift of democracy are now the ones screaming for us to ignore a democratic process at its most basic level. If they truly believed there shouldn't be any referendum at all, you say so from the start and refuse to legitimise it by taking part. That's what Scotland and Northern Ireland, London should have done. Why didn't they? They thought they were going to win that's why. You can't accept the legitimacy of a political process and take part only accepting the result on the basis that you will win. Then theres this new theory that the stupid, or gullible or even racist should be disqualified from voting...eeerrrm only people I remember putting voting qualifications into the system were Deep South politicians and the Apartheid SA govt...to stop blacks getting the vote...same list of reasons I'm hearing now from the pious intelligentsia..kind takes thevery pedestal out from under their feet. Then theres the argument that some in the Leave campaign lied somehow renders the result invalid. ignoring the fact there were lies spouted on each side of this specific campaign..name me an election where the truth isn't at least fudged to downright manufactured? So exactly what result in any election would pass this test??? And what ever happened to the online rule (Godwin Law?) that the debates over when you reference Nazi Germany? Lol
Is that what you're doing? I don't want to get into a big argument with you, but it really doesn't come across like that. It seems like you're trying to close down any discussion by repeating the "get over it" mantra. Like it or not, this has got legs.
