You may not recall the National Front marching under the Union Flag. I do.
Yes I do. I also remember C18. Now just because the NF/C18 march under the flag, others cannot without fear of being accused of racism? Have you seen how many right-wing movements in the USA march under the US flag?
I don't know what you mean by "PC gone mad" - to me it's about trying to eliminate discrimination so that people who look like you have equal chances in the workplace and justice system to people who look like me.
You are not eliminating discrimination OR promoting equal chances in workplaces if you are happy with free movement from one continent, and not the others. This is discrimination now matter how you cut it.
Because they are stuck in a false vision of the past, where we won two world wars by ourselves (when in fact the Empire sent millions of troops), Britain ruled 1/4 of the globe (but didn't operate concentration camps), ands the Potato Famine was the fault of the Irish for beling reliant on one crop (instead of the fault of English landowners for fixing the prices). I could go on, and on, and on.
Please do, but don’t feel guilty about it, since you were not responsible.
One one hand your rail against the perfidy of Empire and neocolonialism, and on the other you defend those Britons who believe the lies.
There you go again, who are you to tell me I fell for lies? Say who? The Liberals who want to overturn Brexit? What happened to project fear?
Racism is down and racism is up? So racism going up at the momnent is OK because 1947 was worse?
I am afraid you are twisting my words. I never said racism is ok, I said there is a difference between a spike and a trend, and the trend has been up since 1947. So stop blaming Brexit for racism in this country.
Which part of the EU? It varies by nation.
Hahaha. Which part? ALL OF IT. Tell me the economic situation of the EU and EZ. That’s what I was referring to.
Austerity also breeds racism - which immediately spiked after the Referendum as the racists felt empowered, telling BAMEs and Poles to "go home", and now we have a Prime Minister dogwhistling to the racists for votes..
Until people realize that Brexit is symptom and not a cause, the sooner people will realize what is wrong in this country, the broken model of capitalism.
More government control over the banks. Norway was not hit as hard as most of the other Western states because they did not import American toxic debt.
Well I got news for you, the UK cannot set its own corporation or VAT tax. This is not control, this is being subservient to the EU.
Norway is NOT a member of the EU.
Not off the top of my head. I believe that the Home Office deported more EU nationals after the Referendum, according to FT.com.
Well in which case I cannot accept your premise. You see, even if your claim is true, it seems to me governments do not implement this clause.
I would imagine due to lack of staff thanks to budget cuts. As I said above, this increased after the Referendum. Cameron only cared about winning an argument within the Tory party.
Keep imaging bro. The fact is if deportation of EU citizens was an option, or some form of control, it would have been implemented. Cameron only cared about winning? Wow! Which politician/PM doesn't? You would not have said this had Remain won.
Anyway, Jo Swinson and her party only care about overturning a democratic result which has not been implemented yet.
Please be careful whom you accuse of racism. Remember what my wife and stepkids look like. Remember I told you that my father faced the "No Irish" signs when looking for housing and work.
Robert, you and your party label anyone who questions immigration, a racist. Your words above not mine. I do question the immigration policy of this country, and according to you and your party, I am a racist. Do you see how detrimental the left are to society by creating this toxic culture where if no one agrees, that person is a racist?
I merely pointed out the discrimination you, albeit, subconsciously support, is in fact a discriminative immigration policy based on race. But it is not the right who shout racist, it is indeed the left.
Anglo-Saxons, if such a tribe still exists, are mainly in England. The Angles were an English tribe and the Saxons were Germanic invaders after the Roman Empire fell. Historically, Europe is also made up of Celts, Iberians, Scandinavians, Slavs and Semites, all the African and Arab migrants down the ages, and the million Caribbeans who answered the call to these islands in the 1950s. Germany took in two million Middle Eastern refugees. All are Europeans now. All are welcome.
Yes I get it, you only support Europeans.
Liberals have to be pragmatic as well as idealistic. We need to be in a big bloc in future, to protect our economy from exploitation by superpowers like the US and China.
Just say what others have been saying all along, the UK does not have the infrastructure to support unfettered immigration. No one will label you a racist, other than the left, I promise you.
Again, please be careful whom you accuse of racism. My father-in-law is a Windrusher. Members of my extended family are at risk of deportation to lands they barely remember. I stated in my previous post that the Home Office policy is racist and discriminatory.
Please see my response above. I know you are not racist; in the same way you know I am not racist. Risk of deportation, see, this is what I was referring to, now ask yourself, why was your father in law was at the risk of deportation after 50+ years in this country, but an EU citizen cannot be deported? I will give you a clue, a racist immigration policy, which you support.
Once again - not all Leavers are racist, but all racists are Leavers.
Please don't use words like treason that divide us. I could equally argue that wanting to hold on to British jobs and prosperity and security and maintaining our influence in the world is patriotism.
Once again, the more you use that sound bite, the more it will come back to bite you. I simply reverses the sound bite and you are asking me not to create division not realizing you are creating division too with your soubd bites.
You could argue that this is patriotism, but you would not, because you would feel it is racist to be patriotic, and this is the effect of a PC world gone mad. The effect of the left. Scared of what society will think of you if you support your nation.
Look, if there was a referendum to Join the EU now, no one would given the state the EU is in, so why stay?
If you do not want to see words which create division, then please stop calling people racist on the basis they voted to leave, or on the basis they are concerned about their country.
