You’re claiming that at least one in four British citizens are racists. With absolute certainty. Wow.
Yes. The truth hurts
I think you're pushing it with the "majority" but there was definitely a worryingly significant amount; enough to decide the outcome.
That's not what you said though is it? You said white British. Not all white British are racist nor did all of them vote to leave.
Now. Can you link me some research that backs up your statement that the majority of the leave vote was a white British racist one. You say there is no doubt which is a big call so what are you basing it on?
This does appear to be the sort of prejudice you're accusing other people of I'm afraid.
What would you like Labour to do?
I'm a white Brit.
You are a person who thinks he understands what happened, yet is simple minded about it.
Gareth Barry played for who? Ryan Giggs played for who? The equivalence is what...?
Depends on your viewpoint, far lower profile role in any case.
If I really need to explain it to you, I’ve no interest in conversing with you.
Far from certain myself but theres a report in the Sunday Times a couple pages back saying 24% would vote for an explicitly far-right, anti-Islam, anti-immigrant party.
Brexiteers pine for the days of sub standard food. It's nostalgia
Theresa May did exactly the same job as all of those that challenged her record - a role that is infamous for the short lifespan of its incumbents due to its difficulty - whereas Gareth Barry played for far inferior clubs to Ryan Giggs so it follows that the impressiveness of his total appearances is far less.
Don't make stupid points if you don't want to "converse further" and back them up.
Doesn’t hurt me at all. I’m not British. Just a bit shocked you have such a low opinion of your fellow Brits.
That’s a grim stat, if true. Not sure it means all of them are racist, though? In fact, I doubt that everyone who who would vote for that party is white.
Oppose? Push for an enquiry?
Not go on tour trying to sell us the mystical benefits of Brexit.
Presumably something other than voting against the Tory legislation, which they've done consistently.
Im not Going to say idiot in case i sound like a remainer
Contrary to my previous post, ignorant is far more applicable.
I did say it. I'm hardly going to mean remain voters when I'm talking about the reason for the leave vote.
Well they have a low opinion of me purely for the colour of my skin
She'll be remembered as someone completely out of her depth but dealt a shitty hand. She's been a terrible PM.
I feel the irony is lost on you.
To be fair you don't know how he rates racists.
True.
But I do know ignorance causes a hell of a lot of problems in the world. I also know going with the easy answer depending on your situation is rarely a good thing.
Oh I'm well aware how it comes across for people who can't comprehend that when you are talking about white British in the context of the leave vote you don't mean all white Brits
As a card-carrying leftie, surely you appreciate that there were a lot of white Brits that voted Leave for reasons that have nothing to do with fear/dislike of people with brown skin?
I think there were a hell of a lot of racists and xenophobes in that cohort but you’re probably over-estimating the proportion.
Just all white leave voters right?
Or is it just some?
Or maybe perhaps having a low opinion of people purely for the colour of their skin isn't the right way forward from anyone and maybe not even the actual driving force behind what happened. Maybe I'm wrong though, maybe the cycle of hate is exactly what the world needs.
Nice bit of casual racism followed by sticking your head in the sand Mozza, nice one.
Get a grip Mozza ffs
Not sure there is any point to
Arguing which proportion of the leave voters were racist and which were just thick or both. Sure there’s a pie chart flying about somewhere.
Well it’s a thread about Brexit and when someone says it’s all because “white Brits can't handle anyone that doesn't look like them” then I think it’s fair enough to challenge that opinion.
I miss this gif
canned food to become official dish of Britain
totally normal thing for one of the worlds biggest economies to be doing
His view should be challenged.
No. They are excuses to hide the racism behind
Not sure what else Raab is supposed to say there
I don't have a low opinion because of the colour of their skin. I have a low opinion because of the vote they took
