You are bang out of order for this comment, how dare you. :afire:

I am not in any way shape in the same league as the group or member of a group who murdered Jo Cox, just because I voted leave.

One person doesn't represent everyone and violence hasn't been limited to one side either people on both sides have resorted to violence it shouldn't be made a generalisation which leave voters have had a few fired at them. Still doesn't change the fact Russ asked a reasonable question perhaps we should be more concerned that he felt he had to ask that question and what that say's about the state of the UK.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

I don't think it was a question that requires much of an answer. It's no obviously. I don't think it was a genuine question either.

People say all sorts of things, don't take it to heart and get offended because someone says something somewhere. You can find people calling Remainers traitors etc, who cares?

Re: Brexit discussion
 

There is nothing racist about genuine border controls. I have no issues with foreigners coming here, contributing to our economy and providing a service, collectively, what I am bothered about is totally open borders, as a small island which is what the UK is, we cannot sustain 300,000 immigrants coming here every year, to those who say this is a racist view, is total bullshit.

But to put Brexiteers on par and on same side as the killer of the Labour MP Jo Coxx, is quite frankly appalling and disgusting.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

I'm not offended or overly bothered to be honest my skin is thicker then that a quality that seems to be dying out. I had my reasons for voting leave which apart from week 1 which set the standard i never bothered watching the news and thus avoided the complete embarassment that was the referendum campaign of both sides. I am tired of the constant attempts by some to paint leave voters as being influenced by a red bus and other ridiculous things while never accepting that people were swayed by some of the silliness of the remain campaign.

I have no problem with people on the remain side not being happy about the result and if they want another referendum in thirty years I'll support it assuming the EU still exists so democracy can have it's say. I'd just like the constant calls for an immediate rerun and constant attempts to undermine the democratic decision to stop for now and let things settle down. I'd also like some action taken against the media be they supposedly remain or leave leaning as they have played a big part in creating and maintaining the division but that won't happen.

A quick google showed that apparently there is a political party called britain first though from the quick snippets i saw they are just the knuckle dragging bnp under another name and it's easy for me to believe that coward who killed jo cox was a member.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

And the hate cards Polish people were given after the Brexit vote? Not a coincidence. There are more of these curtain twitching nasty cowards around than we like to think.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Those cards have been around for years nothing to do with brexit i get them shoved through my door quite often and have a good laugh with my polish neighbour about them.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Are there racists out there? Yes. Were some Leave voters racist? Yes. Does that mean most Leave voters are racist? No.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

I would never suggest that all people who supported leave are murderers of course. I also do not suggest that Thomas Mair represents all leave voters. There is a whole spectrum of opinions and politics that lead to the way people voted and reacted post referendum. However, the febrile environment did lead to a politically motivated murder.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

The guy who murdered Jo Cox, was a total Nut Job with a pure murderous intent.

A Nut job tends to do these extreme things beyond the normal rationale of the average voter.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Don't disagree with that, but it has encouraged the nasty element in our society.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

That is seen as extreme on both sides of the hard-left (Antifa) and hard-right (Fascists).

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Next week should be interesting as the Coalition of Chaos argues about a potential customs union with the EU. How else to prevent a hard border with Ireland?

Talking of Antifa....

The only Fascists there were those masked *******s....

Re: Brexit discussion
 

I didn't really feel the need to ask anything, I just love the standard go-to response many people have towards anyone who voted to leave which usually involved accusations of racism and was hoping to have it explained how that could possibly be pinned on me.

Doesn't matter now though.
