Race, religion, immigration. That's what brexit basically is about.... immigration. Everything else is just bullshit. Take control of our laws! Ha ha I cant name one that pisses me off. Take control of our borders! We already have control but choose, yes choose not to use it! ****ing joke, it's all about immigration!!
Probably a large proportion of the vote was about immigration, but I think there's also a lot of people who see the EU as slippery slope towards greater tyranny and oppression.

I suppose calling muslims terrorists isnt racism either as islams a religion not a racist <whistle>

Depends on the motivation behind it.

In the UK, to the people that make comments like that, Muslims = brown people.

Muslims aren't a race though, so as Willhoops said, it's just boring old Islamaphobia (combing with some good old fashioned racism)
 
<laugh> So much for the General Chat Poster of 2013! Bet you gave yourself that title, eh, Tobes?

So you asked me a question that made no sense, trying to prove a point that made no sense, and now you're commenting on my signature because...?

Boris Johnson has sparked outrage after pouring milk in a cup of tea before taking the bag out
 
Only way to do it


He smashed his rivals though! Jo Swinson spent so long questioning whether she was asked to make tea just because she’s a woman that it was freezing and Corbyn wouldn’t set foot in the kitchen until the tea industry was nationalised.
 
I think he talked to everyone involved, that's how peace comes about

To be honest Bob, I think he only spoke to the Republican side as I couldn’t find anything to say he spoke to the Loyalist side also. I would be very pleased to be proved wrong as I think he should of.

NB Scrap that......I just found something that says he DID speak to Loyalists....haven’t read it all yet as kids playing up.

There you go, if the article is genuine then seems Jezza is even more of a good guy than I have him credit for.

Thanks Strolls, exactly this!! No doubt he’s been civil with some horrible ****s, but it was for the greater good. For me one of Corbyn’s biggest faults is he doesn’t stick up for himself in the waves of bullshit media articles, and by saying nothing people will end up believing it... if you tell the people something enough times some will start believing it

The **** he puts up with is extraordinary and he acts with much more dignity than your average MP.

My problem with Corbyn is he has continually failed to support Remain, and looks unlikely to make any electoral pact with the LibDems and other Remain parties on the basis of Remain or at worse a soft Brexit. This failure will win the Election for the Tories and most probably cause a hard Brexit.
