The UK Politics and EU Referendum thread - merged

[kukushkin88]

Been watching some of the coverage of the politicians on the left being very rude about Trump, the state visit, including chavs like Corbyn and Khan.

I find it shocking that these people put playing to their rabble supporters ahead of the national interest - Corbyn as the PM is such a terrible prospect. Genuinely gonna leave the UK if that happens

Where would you go?

Germany or Austria I think - I love ze Germans

Both good options imo.

The Anne Widdecombe quotes:-

"I also pointed out there was a time when we thought it was quite impossible for men to become women and vice versa.

And the fact we now think it’s quite impossible for people to switch sexuality doesn’t mean science may not yet produce an answer at some stage.”

Simple answer from MP Wes Streeting - Ann Widdecombe is a relic from a bygone era, whose petty prejudices are out of touch with the vast majority in Britain.

Amazes me that people not only hold views like this but feel comfortable voicing them.

Just when things were going so well for Nige.

Must have been major face palm time when he heard about this

He knew exactly what he was doing when getting AW on board. It’s no secret that she is homophobic. It’s hate like that, that got Brexit votes & votes for the new Racist Party. You just can’t see it.

Do you think Gay people are exclusively remainers and remainers cannot be homophobes ?

Lol at JCorbs and Khan. What a pair of plums. Corbs so unsuitable for leadership it’s breathtaking

Trying to link Brexit and homophobia is just daft.

You make it sound like 52% of the population are racist homophobics.

It would be equally poor judgement to doubt that the hateful people rally to one side of this. Being a a racist, homophobe, Brexiteer, xenophobe, nationalist is strongly correlated. Of course not everyone is on the same part of the spectrum but all the hate will be correlated, when you analyse the whole group.

I would be very confident that most of the racist Brexit voters aren't pro-lgbt. Let's not forget that it's generally been the older demogrpahic that voted for Brexit too.

My point here is that people have voted for Brexit are voting for folk at the top of the campaign that have shared divisive messages. Plus, you are voting for the Racist Party, who at the forefront of that campaign is AW. There is barely a day goes by that someone associated with Brexit or either of the racist UKIP or Brexit Party, are speaking hate. Perhaps people can understand why people call Brexit voters out as stupid, racist and homophobic.

As for 52% of the population, you are incorrect, 52% of the population didn't vote for Brexit.

Can we just refine the search a bit? Do you agree that nearly all the racists support Brexit?

Some large assumptions in that post.

There will be vast spectrums of people on both sides of what is a political view of what is best for the country. Immigration is just one part of a much bigger picture.

It has strong echo’s of the all Labour voters have a strong moral compass whereas Tories are heartless twats stereotype nonsense.

I'd say it's more staggering to think the opposite. At the heart of the Brexit Party is Ann Widdecombe.

Absolutely not.

Ridiculous viewpoint.

What about the logical wizard racists?

It’s worth remembering that the closest you’ve ever come to citing a source on this forum is you saying that you think something might have been on the one show.
