And that obviously has nothing at all to do with terrorism or immigration fears. It's age-old prejudices that are not related to nationality, that as a society we managed to establish as not really being acceptable anymore, but in the last year there's a very clear attitude of "hehe yasss I can say whatever I want now". Turns out a large chunk of people are just genuinely nasty bigots. People who I would never have thought it of and actually liked some of. :shrug:
There's a lot more things to get angry about than the words of everyday people in the West.

People who do use racist language to another person, do it because they know it will make the person angry, and they do it to insult. Exactly the same reason people go around calling people, bigots, xenophobes ect. It's done to insult.

No difference, words are words, all words have meaning and history behind them.

Trying to defend one certain group of people from insults but not defending another group, isn't equality.

She may have voted in but Britain didn't.

She has to do what the voters want and they wanted Brexit so I don't get how she is lying

The only reason Cameron had a second term was because labour had a useless idiot in charge then they go and replace him with another

It apparently isn't. And since you're not going to quote it, I'll do it for you. You're referring to this;

I have to wonder if you've been taking lessons? This "rewriting other people's words with a twist to suit a different agenda" thing seems to be becoming a bit of a trend :think:.

If you open a bag of sugar and notice that it is crawling with ants, you might say "Ugh! This bag is full of ants!". Do you mean that it is literally a bag of ants? No. Do you mean that there are more ants than sugar? No. So you don't mean that "Most of the content of this bag is ANTS!" when you state that the bag is full of ants. I maintain that England is imploding into a harder-right isolationist mess, full of bolstered xenophobes. I do NOT mean that I think MOST English people are xenophobes. I didn't say it. You imagined that I did, but you're incorrect.

Niamh is right that it's not just England, to be fair, it's the entire Western political world but the key word here is bolstered, as I've covered in other posts.

She's bleating about it being a good thing when she quite clearly doesn't think it is and never thought it was. She's playing along with the popular vote because she doesn't want to hand over power to someone who actually agrees with it. She likes being PM and will put on any mask necessary to continue being PM. :nono:

It's definitely the other way around. And it's tedious and old.
Have you lived in both, Livia?

No agenda here TS. I was on a device where I couldn't select and copy the phrase. It must be difficult living with such paranoia.

Was it also a device that falsely told you I had deleted a comment?

No that was human error, my mistake. For some reason my tablet won't let me select segments of text.

Feck Me he is back live on TV News
G.Brown and his tricks in his 3rd option.

Tell him to stand still

I was reading about Brown's proposals this morning. It's not that they're necessarily bad, it's that if anyone falls for the same trick twice they are a ****ing idiot. Brown secured the "no" win last time by drawing up a "deal" for more powers, most of which was thrown straight in the bin the day after the vote. If it's not something legally binding, without scope for wriggling out of it, then I'm just not interested.


However he does raise a valid point about Brexit that I hadn't thought of before. What happens to all of the areas of legislation that used to be regional that the EU took control of after Brexit? As things stand, if the things currently controlled by Brussels transfer directly to Westminster, it will actually give Westminster a level of power and control that is unprecedented in the history of the UK.

His plan can not work
the PM does agree with that twat

The plan is to convince gullible voters that they'll get something, influence the vote, then scrap it.

That plan clearly can and does work; it worked for them last time :idc:.

arista 18-03-2017 10:43 AM
"worked for them last time"

Yes when the UK was in the EU
we will so get out that mess
this time you get the €uro

and we are free of you UPTIGHT Scotts

I agree. She is simply doing her job to the best of her ability.

Could this statement be any more hypocritical?....

To be fair to ol' Theresa though, she might not be being a hypocrite (with this at least) since, as we know, she was against Brexit too [emoji23]
