Definitely allowing more racists to come out of the closet. Never saw anything like this in all the years I have been on there, the sheer amount of racism and ignorance is shocking.

:sad:

arrest these racist scum and lock them up, thats what the police are for

It's feeling very thatcheresque in England at the mo, minorities are being blamed for governmental errors, the media are ramping up the pressure. people are poor and disenfranchised.

It's touted as an ace time to be British...it doesn't feel ace, it feels sh*t.

Do you really BELIEVE that EVERY documentary produced is done deliberately to produce a false picture of immigrants and immigration?

On the subject of 'Immigration', just WHO 'utilises the media to influence the public as a tool of information control?'

It cannot be Cameron and The Establishment because THEY have just sold their souls to try to 'influence the public' into staying in the EU' - including utilising the media' - and only those supporting immigration, openly or covertly, voted to stay in the EU.

Perhaps it was the Labour Party?..... Uh, no, ok then.

The BNP, The EDL, UKIP?... Oh, OK - none of these wield THAT kind of power or have the funds.

Let me think for a moment....... Eureka! I've got it!.... It's all just nonsense emanating from within your own mind - without foundation of course.

Thank you for another meaningless negative response, which does zilch to contribute to any meaningful debate. Bye. :wavey:

Not every documentary no.

It has been previously admitted that the media and documentary programming has in the past been used as a tool to manipulate the perception of the electorate on certain issues.

Thank you for your denigration of my perception and opinion on this issue, I have come to expect nothing more.

Why are British children of colour being targeted for "crimes" that their parents have committed which is live in this country?

Obviously the Media loves blowing things out of proportion and that it's probably not quite as bad as it's being made out to be, but I do think that when you have a Right Wing party running the country it breeds prejudice of all kinds.

It breeds racism, homophobia, and more importantly it breeds snobbery between the Upper Class and the Working Class.

And really, I'm tired of the suggestion that we are a ridiculously racist country when we are not. I hope this is a lesson learned. You have to listen to people because if you keep them down by calling them names, it just blows the situation out of all proportion.

Not being heard doesn't make racism justified. They're not the same. For example the same person that said that he's allowed to have pride like the Welsh and Scots fair enough but then he posted a pic of a golliwog. He didn't have to go there. He's racist.

Anyway I thought you were Jewish? :conf:

new labour are more guilty than anyone for the rise in racism, they banned free speech they abused the privelige of accusing people, they eroded civil liberties and freedom of speech and they systematically accused anyone who questioned their party of racism....now those chickens are coming home to roost. they were a stinking corrupt party who hated their own country and would do anything to seize power.

No one but the racists are to blame for the rise in racism........imo

Tom4784 27-06-2016 03:27 PM

All this desperate justification and passing of the buck is driving me insane. Why are people so desperate to defend these racists?

Crimson Dynamo 27-06-2016 03:28 PM

Yes the world is about to end. This should please those on the left who just keep backing the losing horses

yes but labour created the atmosphere and the environment for this frustration and bigotry to grow. not everyone is racist, sometiems theyre desperate or ignorant or ill informed or dirt poor or uneducated or in some cases have dreadful personal experience which has made them fear immigration. maybe relatives killed in wars or hit by terrorists or beaten up or robbed. labour labelled everyone as racists, people felt they werent allowed a voice, labour allowed population to rise 3.7 million in a decade and never mentioned we had open borders yrs before germany. they were a totally dishonest party , rotten to the core. they then started illegal wars for oil and sent our poorest to fight an die without even the propr equipment and without military hospitals to treat our wounded. vile party.

Commons now talking about the rise in racism too.

Kizzy 27-06-2016 03:30 PM

I agree, the commons right this moment are discussing the rise in racism, fueled directly by the leave campaign, let's not gloss over this.
Disclaimer: That is not by any means all leave voters are/were or will be racist.

That's what happens when you take the piss out of ordinary people for far too long. Sad but true.

52% isn't much of a majority though, especially considering 16-17 year olds wasn't allowed to vote either, and a lot of Remain voters thought that we would remain so didn't vote.

If Scotland has to have over 60% to have another Referendum, then shouldn't the Leave campaign have to have over 60% to leave the EU?

48% is a lot of people to piss off, ruin their future careers, their finances, and change how the country is run on them.

Don't forget there is nearly 3 million people so pissed off that they're demanding another Referendum, the majority do not want to leave the EU, it's just that the elderly voted more and scraped a majority which is fair enough, but it's not what people want, and more importantly not what the future generations that are gonna be living in this country for many more years to come want.

Are you suggesting that only those on the right were voting to leave? and can be said to be the instigators of the rise in racist comments?..... You sound like this is what you are saying :/

They're not.

Even in Tamworth it's dividing people and the majority voted to Leave.
