    Brexit, for once some facts.

    how cool is this??? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/07/india-deserves-apology-for-atrocities-under-britains-colonial-ru/ so, dear jingoistic and otherwise sadly very challenged brexiters, by leaving the EU you've really set Britain free from "foreign control". personally I'd like to see...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    sorry something went wrong with that post: i agree that lack of leadership and defending a more reasonable perspective played a role - or that the leadership we had used the deliberately uninformed/misinformed electorate to try to resolve the Tories internal xenophobic struggle. but this doesn't...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    humour is fine, a little explaining why brexiters voted brexit would go some way too, though. it's a bit like cirque de soleil, it needs the main performance, not just the clowns

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that I think is nearer the truth than your previous message re lord Ashcroft suggesting that brexiters are somehow sentient kamikaze types who are prepared to sacrifice their livelihoods for the noble goal of becoming free to be closet racists. I think there's a lot of complacent entitlement...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I tolerate these infantile little outbursts of yours because I realise you are incapable of argument or reasonable thought. I imagine insult and attack when others don't collude with your prejudice is your default position in life. a more significant problem is that your limitations may well be...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    back to personal attacks and insults, quelle surprise. you are just a bit fixated with residence and nationality, no? brexit, to return to topic, is about significant more: it's about discrimination, xenophobia and yes racism. By the way, I live quite happily in france and the uk.

    yes, although that does sound a lot like may's mantra of "not wanting to show her hand"? it's fine, i'm sure coming up with a coherent argument for brexit may take time.

    It would take a 97 carat kipper to actually choose to put an ethically and otherwise challenged lizard like submarine may in executive charge of playing poker with the nation's destiny

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You haven't said any "facts". You had your by now familiar attempt at discrediting and insulting. It's a lot like may or farages bluster really. Come back when you have something better.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A rather familiar fantasy. Not that unlike those about old tom. I believe it's called projective identification,insisting that others must be what one fears and knows oneself to be. I'm not you.

    Happily we are not all trapped,like you,in our heads and lives and views of others in narrow constricting concepts of nationality. Neither,equally happily,do we all try to dismiss others on that basis as you try to.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So,trying to discriminate against me on the basis of nationality? I live where I please and it is none of your business where that is. Discrediting facts is a very poor alternative to presenting an argument, alternative view. Is that really all you can come up with?

    Pretty much https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/06/25/the-uncomfortable-question-was-the-brexit-vote-based-on-racism/ You're dawning realisation is gratifying

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    no, we complain about brexit, insult the idiots that voted for it, calling them racist, xenophobic, trash. ironically it is exactly my respect for british culture, its liberal tradition, literature that makes me condemn brexit as an attack on all of that.

    perhaps, i'm all for ethical screening of refugees, but imho voting for marine le pen is a damning indictment, nothing can justify it.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    hmm..your neighbour, with respect, sounds as if he were about to vote for marine le pen all along. put it differently, he sounds about as unbiased in his "perceptions" as the editor of the daily mail. There you go though, the UK clearly does not have a complete monopoly on closet racists looking...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    oddly enough, I used to be a young male immigrant to the uk seventeen or so years ago. there's a lot to be said for allowing young male immigrants, they often start businesses, create employment, pay tax, innovate, bring specialist skills, often at the outset of careers, often after very...

    Tow bar mounted carrier

    I have a thule easybase - the main thing I think is restricted speed with a trailer (although exceeding 90mph with a loaded easy base can induce sway in a light car I find). there's two restrictions - that of the tow bar (on my very small city car 50kg total IIRC), and that of the easy base...

    well, on the news of "all this" (article 50, the high court decision) the pound jumped. what does that tell you?
