Well... if we can all agree on anything it's that that was a truly awful interview. **** me.

HOWEVER he does seem to have gone to the LT school of head-sand-burying when it comes to branding the upturn in racist incidents as "pure coincidence" . "Where's the proof that they're related". Pffff.

Like I said on the other thread; I don't think all or even a majority of Leave voters are racist. Not for one second. And I don't think that the fact that the vote took place has "created" any racists. What it HAS done is embolden some of the people who already had that **** boiling inside of them, to let it out either verbally or physically, feeling (again I will add, incorrectly!) that they now have the backing of the majority. It has unleashed a monster, hopefully only temporarily, as hopefully law enforcement will be coming down on it like a tonne of bricks and people will get the message that it's not suddenly "allowed now because Brexit".

Another anecdote: Had to politely tell a customer to **** off and never come back earlier tonight for shoving another out of the way and saying, and I directly quote, "Get out of my ****in' way. When are you ****ing off back to Poland now that we've voted Leave anyway???". That's after another yesterday who has been a customer for years, quiet guy, barely ever said two words... went on a 30-second non stop tirade about "P*ki's, n***ers and all them other ****in' extremists finally out".

I've been in the same job six and a half years and never known anything like it. But it's just coincidence, of course .
