The UK Politics and EU Referendum thread - merged

It also seems Livingstone said "It is over the top to consider anti-Semitism and racism as exactly the same thing"

People honestly don't have a problem with that?  Are Jewish people now below other minority groups?

Both of the suspended MP's have a 'bit' of a history - taking just these single incidents in isolation doesn't necessarily reflect the problem.

i don't agree with everything in this...cant see how corbyn is deposed with the new membership behind him

but it gives some context on the views broad labour v hard left labour on Jewish issues

"Finally, Corbyn declared, as he always does on these too-frequent occasions, "we are not tolerating anti-Semitism in any way or indeed any other kind of racism." Labour's leader appears congenitally incapable of condemning Jew-hatred in insolation. The explanation, some MPs say, is that he subscribes to a "hierarchy of racism" under which anti-Semitism is a lesser offence than, say, Islamophobia. In rejecting a systematic focus on the former, Corbyn's critics say he is in denial about the scale and significance of the infestation.  "

PC Wanker gets pulled up by Ultra PC Wankers 

This is the worst post in the history of the Internet. It's like the daily mail is a self perpetuating retard machine.

This is probably the most over-exaggerated and least researched response to a post in the history of the Internet.

Your point is reasonable and my post is kinda dumb. It won't be anything like the least researched though, I'm something of a student of moronic attempts to suggest a link between political correctness and socialism.

Enjoyed that. Losing the booze cruise if we leave must be the clincher. The Remain campaign should highlight that.

To try and bring the right amount of emphasis to how dumb your point is. It's very much like criticising Trump or Clarkson or Kelvin Mackenzie for being too PC. The man, who did a lot of good things in London a long time ago is just politically incorrect, almost all of the time.

That post was a joke, but looking at the time you posted I guess you were too drunk to realise that...

Thanks for the name calling though, much appreciated.

Yeah, apologies for that, booze is no excuse.

It is a bit of an indictment of your previous posts on this thread that I had no reason to suspect that was a joke though.

I think a lot of posts on Facebook really get on my nerves. The reason for some people to vote OUT is simply because they want less people to come to this country. I don't question people's vote and respect their view points on it all, but this is typical of quite a few people. If you ask them for more reasons, their response would "Oh, erm, and erm, we don't have to send them all that money". They actually don't know what the sum is, either.

Those people who have better reasoning for leaving the EU, then OK fair enough, cast your vote.

But I see things as, are really things that bad for the United Kingdom right now? Is YOUR life really that bad that we you have to vote out, into, whatever anyone says, an uncertain future outside of the EU. Nobody really knows what's on the other side & things aren't really that bad, are they?

I will definitely be voting to stay. For complete security.
