UK to leave EU

[Edwardo Piet]

Of course, "Muslim" is not a race but that 's besides the point because all bigotry is equally bad. Whether it's xenophobic, racist, sexist, homophobic, or whatever.

Roughly what Bill Maher says about republicunts.

"You do not have to be a racist to be a republicunt, but, if you are a racist then you are a republicunt."

Well, that's not very democratic of you.

Sure it is. We don't live in a direct democracy. We live in a representative democracy. That means we elect people to make decisions for us. Just because we don't vote on everything individually doesn't mean we aren't democratic.

This was a complicated issue. Most people didn't properly understand it. Lies were spread, there was fear mongering. The vote should have never happened.

Nigel Farage just admitted on TV that the Leave campaign were wrong to say £350 million a week could be spent on the NHS if we left the EU. The lies are already emerging.

So if they don't get what they were promised maybe they should tar and feather Farage.

Okay WoGs here, now I'm bored.

Oh definitely some, or even most: There are a lot of racists. Every single politically active racist  voter I have ever known always chooses the option that limits immigration the most.

Like I said, not all brexiters are racist, but in my experience, the racists are brexiters.

Can you move into a country that the emigrants are leaving and act like it's your home?  No, you can't.  So who are the racists?

Here's an interesting article...

In the wee hours of Friday morning, the people of the UK voted to leave the European Union with a majority of 52 percent—and according to Google, they don't really know why. Two hours after the referendum polls closed, roughly midnight UK time, the Google Trends Twitter account reported a 250 percent increase in people searching "what happens if we leave the EU." "Are we in or out of the EU?" spiked by 2,450 percent.

Oops.

If I've not already made it explicitly clear: I can't provide you one.

Ding ding ding ding ding.

We have a winner ladies and gents.

Well I also can't provide someone saying what I said word for word. I probably could if I felt the urge to search but I don't have time for that shit.

Get on any page on facebook that's about being "pro-leave"

They're all full of racists remarks about how leaving the EU means you can get rid of those dirty Muslims.

[Losty]

Can you concede now?

Yep! Complete justification for calling all leave voters racists accepted  

What the fuck, Napo. I don't know you for being so disingenuous. Considering your original request for an example was pointed at me, and I clearly stated that I don't think that...wtf was your point again?

Some of the pro-remain crowd are asking for another fucking referendum in a petition that only has 400,000 signatures and they're also talking about protesting outside parliament in the name of "democracy", how funny is that. Bastards clearly don't respect democracy.

Fuck right off.

Weird, I always thought getting to protest and demand revotes and such was a cool thing about living in a free country. I guess you guys haven't gotten yer freedums quite yet though
