Is that your work Tighty?
Excellent.

Don't see how it can be ripped to shreds as it describes the situation perfectly.

Not claiming it as mine, its by an anonymous "Columnist" account on social

Been furiously Googling and can’t nail down why all racists set fire to money!

It’s just pathetic trolling, from a man who was recently (hilariously) held up as an exemplar of reasonable debate.

If all economically astute folk vote Remain and all racists vote Leave how are all racists illogical and financially naive?

You presented this position but can’t justify.

Squealing about trolling doesn’t help validate

The first sentence is something you completely made up, isn’t close to making sense and is not remotely close to anything I have ever said. If you don’t understand that is a shame, unfortunately it’s something I don’t really have sufficient time to help with atm. If you do understand, you are a troll.

You seem to live in a world of intense emotions and actions.

Nothing is remotely close.

Everything is hilarious

Things are never part sensible or flawed, they are completely made up.

You cant be having a bit of a wind up, or gentle banter, you are a troll.

Hate to have your blood pressure levels.

Excellent quotage Tighty.

Let’s try and limit the derail. I’ll go back to not pointing out that Mantis and Woodsey don’t really do anything other than troll. I’ll moderate the choice of words a little. As someone who runs/exercises is some pretty extreme ways, I monitor my BP level, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s just fine, you would be lucky to have it.

You guys realise this is Woodsey right?

On that definition you are definitely not a troll.

Today I was just updating myself on Ann Widdecome's comments and was a little surprised to see that even Nigel Farage didn't condemn her awful and out of date comments. His response on ITV was simply "it's a free world and those are her christian views". I genuinely thought Nigel would actually grit his teeth and admit fault to save face.

Instead, all it really does it bring up that old question of is hate and old fashioned views the ones they are trying to express to get votes? If it was the opposite, h surely would condemn her comments. To me, it just says we can't condemn her because her views are actually striking a chord with people out there, hence why he chose to go the way he did.

He knew exactly what he was doing when she joined the Racist Party. Her views about homosexuality have been out there such a long time. It's no bloody wonder people question the moral compass of those that voted Brexit/Racist Party. 

[MANTIS01]

Yep and all Racist party voters have no regard for monies which is shameful.

Hatred and bile before personal dollar, so illogical

Racists, homophobic and frugally challenged the lot of them.

At these commemorations for DDay I'm surprised each time by the level of bravery, how young so many troops were and am filled with admiration for the British people. Makes the constant dismissal of old people as xenophobes, racists etc to suit people's identitarian nonsense all the more jarring.

But people like Aaron have no respect at all for the past and what people have done for them.

They have been brought up in a world, where despite screaming austerity at every corner, have never wanted for anything. They have never experienced the true fear of loved ones going to war, or losing family in such a way.

They have zero understanding or acceptance of anyone else's views but themselves and even after denying time after time they have called Brexiteers racists, then call it The Racist Party, and no doubt in 2 pages times claim again  they never called anyone a racist.

As you say. You see those dear old fellas, and read Aaron's comments and it sickens me the lack of respect and humility shown by so many in this country.

Good post Adz

......have never wanted for anything. They have never experienced the true fear of loved ones going to war, or losing family in such a way.

That is pretty much a description of the boomer generation. And if anything the puzzle is why they want to reject the system that has given them so much opportunity.
