Off Topic EU deabte. Which way are you voting ?

What other purpose does an open public letter have?

 

Their only policy they seemed to have was to leave the EU. If they had any others they did not communicate them very well.

 

You seem to be having a funny little argument all of your own. It's kind of cute. Pointless, but cute.

 

I've spelled it out for him, mate.

Don't you like the thought of your country getting its spine back at long last?

 

This is a thread about the EU referendum, I'm referring to a story connected to it.

 

A simple Google:

barmpot. Noun. (plural barmpots) (northern England, informal, pejorative) Idiot; an objectionable and foolish person.

I know what right wing is.

I think the term right-wing is now challenged to encompass all extremism. I find it strangely at odds with itself that political and social commentators describe the so-called right wing IS as being the key factor fuelling the growth of right wing extremism, don't you? Besides that I don't recall seeing any serious political or social commentator describe them as being right wing; have you? I would be interested if you have.

How on earth does questioning how IS is pigeon-holed underestimate it? You do realise that is simply daft, don't you. If you think I underestimate IS then you need to think again.

As I said, yes there are examples of abuse, there was bound to be a spike, it's not good, it's not clever and it should and is being dealt with. It's also nothing new, unfortunately. I am simply not so sure it is as big as some folk are making it out to be; some out of ignorance, some out of deliberate manipulation.

By the way, you have no idea what reports I may have seen, although it would appear that I can Google better than most Barmpots!

 

But that's nothing to do with who voted remain or not. It's a public letter ffs

 

He seems to need even more spelling out

 

All you've spelled out is that you have a problem with a story that highlights the increase in hate crimes since the EU referendum.

 

Why do you have a problem with this story ?

 

Maybe by the time of the next referendum he may have learned how to google

 

I give up

 

I don't think we lacked a spine (that's Nigel propaganda) and think there was a better way to gradually exit the EU. I'm not pro EU, I'm pro a considered plan and a strategy. A lot of people are going to have a rough couple of years because there is no plan or strategy for Brexit.

 

No-one is hyping up anything

The increase in hate crime has been dramatic since the vote, it's a ****ing fact

You and others like you say you deplore the acts of racism on one breath, and on the next seem to want to lift the carpet and brush it straight underneath.

The far right have seen the vote as giving them some form of validation, the previously fairly well hidden racists have decided that it's now open season. Shooting the messenger and challenging the fact that it's happening isn't what should he happening here.

 

Probably for the best

 

Go try your luck on the Sunderland board
