The UK Politics and EU Referendum thread - merged

Just staggering for folk to link Brexit with homophobic views and “hate”. Links to Google and pie charts for the proofs pleasseee.

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

Absolutely not.

Ridiculous viewpoint.

What about the logical wizard racists?

The logical wizards are only something you made up :-(. They aren’t even close to being an actual thing.

You can’t tar the vast majority of the the 52% with the same brush as the extremists that vote for far right, Tommy Robinson style parties.

Whilst the extremists will have voted for Brexit, you cannot equate the two views overall as the same.

Those extreme views are not held by the overwhelming majority of Brexit voters.

It isn't just about Tommy Robinson, as I have said. There are plenty of Brexit campaigners that are out there with hateful messages. I think it's pretty clear to see that people just don't like to admit it.

I’m not saying that they are, they might be less than 1%, what I am saying is that for all practical purposes (do we have a method of measurement?) all of the racists are on one side of this argument. All of the racists are proudly Brexit. Shall we try and find one who opposes Brexit? Name one racist who opposes Brexit.

You lack some self awareness - not really news but you pour out more bile than the haters you condemn.

Love nirvana - not pro LGBT - utterly indifferent

You are ignoring the campaigners that spout rubbish just like Tommy. Of course, you clearly don’t think it exsists.

Sorry, why don't you ask me what I think rather than tell me - plenty of rubbish on both sides - I like to think I'm above the fray, that's my whole narrative

Good shout sir. Definitely a racist, also panicky and clueless. You can have that one though for sure.

They key is that racism is just like any form of ignorance, people will learn eventually.

Inventing a thing called the ‘Logical Wizard Racists’ and then trying to sneak them in to a discussion, like they’re a thing 😂.

Meh, there are loads of racists on both sides.  Some fella on Radio 5 (Nihal Athanayake?) did a section one week on the most recent racist thought you had.  People need to recognise they all do things that are a bit racist every so often.  Some people view Corbyn as the least racist person in the whole World.  Every so often I find myself thinking that was a bit racist Jezza, and snigger a bit when people pretend he is pure as the driven snow (in a snowy way, not in an Ayran way).

Of course, most of the extreme racists are going to be Brexiteers, but I am sure there are a fair few on the other side who want their freedoms, but still hate other people's freedoms.
