GLUM DIRECTION Pop star Harry Styles reveals he’s a Remoaner and says Brexit heavily influenced his new album
The 23-year-old even told The Sunday Times Style magazine that he will vote for “whoever is against Brexit”. He said the push to leave the EU is “creating the kind of world he does not want to live in”. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.t...new-album/amp/ https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/h...tion-gd0s0qzn9 |

I always find it interesting when celebrities have actual opinions on real things. They always seem so one-dimensional (not trying to be punny) and plastic, that you kinda forget that they're real people.
Kudos to him for having the balls I'd like to hear him expand on how he thinks Brexit effected his sales? I'm no pop-buff, but I'd imagine it has done pretty well worldwide?

oh and I see we're still working the "only the middle class voted Remain" angle when the Leave campaign was headed up by champions of the proletariat Boris Johnson and Arron Banks

The political climate that's been created in the last year is ****ing terrifying. Nobody would accept this if the result had gone the other way, and quite rightly. |

I feel little need to say much at all because you not only list my thoughts but expand on the points of things too. I agree,the referendum campaign last year was the ugliest,sometimes scary and worrying campaign I had come across. It has not got better since,as you say, either. The intolerance is unbelievable at times and all it does for politics and in fact for the UK overall is drag all down. It really is,in my view,I stress my view,and should be really worrying. |

Much as I dislike the likes of Gina Miller I would never condone harrassment or threats as that is always unacceptable from both sides. You will always get that element on both sides of the political agenda. To suggest the Remain campaign/voters are the 'good guys' and the Leave 'campaigners/voters the 'bad guys' is blinkered. Just like you often get a lot of violence etc at many kinds of marches and protests - such behaviour usually comes from opportunist thugs just seizing the chance to cause trouble and intimidate people. The organisers of such events often complain how it wasn't their supporters causing the problems but opportunist thugs. The same probably applies to those making such threats. Assumptions are being made on a mass scale here. In my experience thugs aren't usually politically minded. Judging by the response of many 'remoaners' with some even disrespecting a public vote, and therefore democracy, by attempting to overturn the vote speaks volumes and demonstrates what lengths they will go to to try and get their own way. There are no innocents in politics. Last edited by Brillopad; 14-05-2017 at 01:50 PM. |

The bold points are there to highlight the rampant hypocrisy in the post. I thought I'd just stick to those two points since if I highlighted the other points of hypocrisy in that post then most of the post would be highlighted. PC doesn't encroach on free speech, you are entitled to your opinion but no one is forced to accept them or acknowledge them. That's your issue with it, isn't it? You want people to cheer you for your opinions and you can't handle the fact that your opinions won't be universally adored. You only want freedom of speech for yourself and people who share your opinions which is why in this post you try to pass off opposing opinions to brexit as undemocratic, you are trying to invalidate any opinion that doesn't suit your agenda. You can be opposed to people who voted remain but you are actively trying to make out that people who don't get in line with your views basically don't believe in democracy and are trying to force their own way when you have been guilty in the past (along with other members) of telling remainers to basically assimilate with the Borg-I mean, accept the brexit and drop opposing opinions. Going back to PC culture, your opinion is not being limited or held back in any way, you can say what you like, the problem here is that you (and pretty much everyone who acts like PC is the devil) don't have the conviction to own your opinions. All opinions come with consequences as I've said a thousand times, no one is exempt from those consequences. Again, another thing I've said a thousand times, Freedom of Speech is a two way street. Do not act like a defender of it when you aren't really interested in FoS because you only want it for yourself and people who hold the same views as you.

The terrifying thing is, grooming rape gangs being ignored, while people are put in prison for putting a couple of rashers of bacon on a building. |

Then turn it around. Simply saying it can be is not an argument.

i don't understand the PC/freedom of speech defence they gave though, so I'm not sure I can comment - seems irrelevant to me, almost as if they just spouted out any old nonsense to defend their right to insult.

I imagine if you are being called those things then it's for more than simply supporting Brexit and your second sentence is simply silly and inflammatory rather than logical. Hate crimes and sex crimes are not comparable, life is not some sort of Police Procedural drama where the same officers will deal with all kinds of crimes. Different crimes are investigated and solved by different units. Idiotic hate crimes are usually easy to solve since the people who commit them are not very bright, it's often a case of consulting the CCTV to get an identification. Things like rape gangs and sex rings are more organised and harder to break. They require more time and investigation to compare what is essentially an organised crime to yobs that aren't smart enough to cover their faces when they commit their crimes. They are not the same. Honestly, this should be common sense. |
