  1.  @LabRat6619  You have to think long term. The EU isn't just some trade bloc. Its a political union. And you can't base a political union on threats. You need democratic legitimacy, and thats something the EU project has never had. Even most remainers have no loyalty to the EU. They just voted remain because they feared the consequences of not doing so (as your reply shows). Thats hardly a sound foundation for political union. The UK will be better off out.

  2. I thought John Harris' mission was to ask people why they voted to leave the EU and then make faces at the camera while their back is turned?

  3. No doubt like her party leader, she would much rather hang out with terrorists, Islamists, communist dictators, and soviet spies.

  4.  @dorbid  Bull. The EU was negotiating TTIP with the US for 10 years. And politics didn't come to a standstill across Europe. The only thing preventing the UK from moving on is that one side has rejected the democratic process, keeping the country in limbo - That's a crises of democracy. And when 17.4 million people vote for something, thats clearly more than a 'tory distraction'.

  7. Oh, right. So now exports only make up a tiny fraction of our economy do they? In that case why the big deal about the single market?

  8. The influx of immigrants into Europe has nothing to do with western governments bombing other countries. The problems come from incompetent dictatorships desperate to cling to power. If the war in Syria proves anything, its that the west is part of the wider world. And cannot ignore what is going on outside its borders. Because it will effect us.

  9. Yeah, only the Labour party play the NHS Fear Campaign during EVERY SINGLE ELECTION. Getting stale now.

  10. French police use teargas and rubber bullets against a peaceful demonstration?

  11. And lets be honest here, if a police force was 'structurally corrupt' would we want officers filling out extra forms or taking part in 'anti-corruption workshops'? The answer is no. We would want them investigated and the guilty charged.

  12. While I don't agree with King Nigel I of Ukip on 'globalisation' (neither does ol Nige. After all, he went off to the US and supported one of the most high profile billionaire globalists on the planet today!), he did make a great point.  '...Why are the people against Brexit all for democracy until it produces a result they don't like?' How many times have we read 'Well, do you trust this government to run the country?' from those who voted to remain? The answer is: Yes. The majority who voted do indeed trust this government to run the country. Which is why they voted for it. So, if your logic is  'the UK needs to be in the EU to save itself from the democratic process', then you will always lose the argument. It is not bigoted, xenophobic, or racist to want those who govern over you to be accountable to you. Neither is it bigoted, xenophobic, or racist to expect those in government to hold loyalty to your country and have some stake in its wellbeing. None of which was ever the case with the EU.

  13. Uros L Idk, does it? That desperate to keep people from leaving, eh?

  14. And? What is wrong with using prison labour? More to the point, what is wrong with the US enforcing US immigration policy? Or is your argument that the US should have an immigration policy, but not enforce it? Or perhaps you think the US shouldn't have an immigration policy at all?

  15. After decades of economic ruin at the hands of the communists, the Russian system was in collapse. Yeltsin did the heavy lifting. He did the necessary but impossible task of dismantling the communist system. And Putin's 'success' rests on what Yeltsin did. The fact that the Russian economy improved after communism is no surprise. Eastern Europe did exactly the same. China is doing the same. And many small Eastern European nations who suffered under Russian occupation now have better living standards than Russia. Because they don't have a vastly corrupt KGB secret policeman as dictator. Not interested in your rant against the US and Clinton. Typical Russian response is to blame the US for everything whilst never taking responsibility for themselves. Your Soviet Empire. Your tyrants. Your country. Your responsibility.    You seem unaware that the Arab Spring kicked off in Tunisia. An ally of the west. Then spread to Egypt. Another ally of the west. Once again blaming it on a US conspiracy is typical Russian cynicism. You seem unable to understand why someone wouldn't want to live under a murderous tyrant. Perhaps because you think freedom and democracy doesn't exist, so there's no point fighting for it? Typical Russian defeatism. Happy to live on your knees. And you expect everyone else to do the same. Who are Russia's closest allies? The ayatollah, Belarus, the Chinese, and a few puppet dictators Russia manages to prop up on its borders. Been there before, haven't you? Wonder how it ends?

  16. And I don't think you'll win many votes by whitewashing the problem of Islamic extremism. If you import large numbers of people into the country who hold very different views of religious freedom, morals, and the right to criticize beliefs and ideas. Make no effort to integrate them into wider society and refuse to hold them to the same standards as everyone else. Then don't be surprised when things turn bad.

  17. And don't be accusing me of political point scoring when the fuckin labour party play politics with tragedy.

  18. Corbyn did the exact same thing with terror attacks. Even while they were going on in mainland Europe!

  19. +The Guardian Online. I want you to write a piece that somehow ties in these themes: Racism (obviously!). A minority community (of course!). Police violence (need I say?). Calamity. And Redemption.

  20. Good thing too. Anything that stopped the spread of Russia's brutal communist empire has got to be applauded!

  21. Get your face paints out. Dust down your anti-racism banners. Have your Day of Rage. And take advantage of a tragedy to overturn an election. Sick fuck.

  22. It is happening =)

  24. Certainly is creepy. And more than a bit racist.

  25. The same goes for your 'truly free press'. No such thing.

  26. Do they have transgender toilet facilities?

  27. No

  28. No. The problem is poverty. Not inequality. There will always be inequality no matter what system you attempt to force onto society. And that inequality can take many forms. Wealth inequality is just one example. But I can live with the knowledge that some have more than others. The real problem is poverty. And is there less real poverty in the capitalist west compared to much of the rest of the world? Yes. very much so. Compared to anytime in human history (and much of the rest of the world today) we live in a golden age. So let's not fuck it up, yeah?

  29. ''...there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families''. Factual analysis.

  30. Its hilarious how Russians can only think as far back as 'Operation Barbarossa'. If you go a little further back Janith Dasunpriya, you'll find that Russia allied itself with nazi Germany. And invaded Poland. You'll also find that without even bothering to issue a declaration of war, Russia simply invaded and annexed the Baltic nations. Then came the mass deportations. Hundreds of thousands of Latvians, Lithuanians, and Estonians sent off to the Siberian gulag concentration camps never to be seen again. That is why the Baltic nations do not trust the Russians when they play their wargames near their borders. They see Russia's invasion and annexation of Ukrainian territory, and, quite rightly, they don't want to take any chances.  Let the Russians fantasise about 'empires' and 'famous secrets' and other conspiracies. Meanwhile they live under a warmongering war criminal KGB dictator. But if they attack one NATO member, they attack them all. And NATO would wipe the fuckin floor with them!  =P

  31. Costed? Britain is already £900 billion in debt. Corbyn wants to borrow an extra £500bn. The country will never be able to pay it back. Seventeen years of trying to balance the books will have been wasted. We will end up like Greece. We will go begging to the IMF. They will tell us to make cuts. Then we will have real austerity. For generations.

  32. Met Duggan's type before. They talk about respect while dumping on everybody. It only takes one family of rats to ruin a whole street or community. If you don't roll over for them then you become a target. And the only way to stand up for yourself is to act outside the law. They fuck up not only their own lives but everyone's around them.

  33. Where is that evidence? You are statistically more likely to die in police custody in the UK if you are white.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3132206.stm

  34. Jason93609 There have been 1,563 deaths in police custody since 1990. Of which 156 have been defined as from black and minority ethnic communities (9.981%). The ethnic makeup of the UK is 86% white. Non whites make up 14% of the population. Therefor, statistically you are more likely to die in police custody if you are white. Moreover, deaths in police custody have gone down considerably since 1990. In 2015 there were 31. In 1990 there were 62. In 1991 there were 65. In 1992 there were 53 and so on.

  35. It kinda does. These people are not employed to sit and twiddle their thumbs all day long. As the EU takes on more 'competences' (power), it takes away more authority from directly elected government. Take trade, for example. We have those who advocated remaining in the EU talking of disaster should the UK leave the single market. And yet the UK doesn't have any trade deal with its biggest single trading partner, the US. Why? Because such things are no longer handled by national government. It's interesting that we have those who wish to ignore the referendum results demanding a second referendum on any trade deal the UK government might reach with the EU. And yet I don't remember any talk of a referendum in the UK, never mind the rest of the EU, on the TTIP trade agreement with the US? You would agree that trade is important, I'm assuming? It is after all the main weapon in the arsenal of those that wish to remain within the EU.

  36. 'Working in global unity' is all very well. But it all needs to be paid for. And I'm pretty sure the Philippines has more than enough money to pay for free contraception for those who need it.

  37. Owen Jones is an Islamophobe! The labour party is infested with Islamophobia! Owen Jones is a fascist and this video is now evidence of a hate crime!

  39. Obviously Catalonian independence is a cause the Guardian can get behind. They want to preserve their own language, culture, history, and self government. Not like the nasty racist Brits who voted for Brexit because they wanted to preserve their own language, culture, history, and self government >:(

  40. I hear you're a racist now, Owen?

  41. Logo Lee There is not the same level of self hatred on the nationalist right as on the mainstream left.

  42. ''Somethings gone very wrong'' - Yes. It did. Under a labour government. It left the UK with a £200 billion deficit. If you don't understand cause and effect, then you can't really be passing judgement on whether people were too stupid to know what they were voting for in regards to Brexit!

  43. You don't get to be vice president of the NUS by not playing identity politics

  44. John still moping around the country. Dragging his little raincloud behind him as he mourns his deafet. 'All this has to stop!' he cries, stomping his little foot as the tears run down his cheek! - Doesn't seem to realise that it's the remain campaign that are in alliance with nationalists who play on grievances (and a lot worse - Corbyn's labour). And who are dragging the country into yet more pointless confusion, delay, and weariness.

  45. We already have to pay for medical treatment and always have. And why do so many people have goldfish memories? Remember the TTIP negotiations? Back then it was the EU bargaining away the NHS (before Trump called the whole thing off). So who would you rather trust with the NHS? The EU? Or a directly elected UK government?

  46. You find opposing voices frightening?

  47. IRA Regional Commissar Corbyn and his Chavista pals would bankrupt the country for a generation.

  48. And btw, its not up to the tax payer to pay for others to learn to speak English.

  49. Yeah. I'm having me some of that! ...I voted to remain and now I see I was lied to by the remain side the sky didn't fall on our heads and I feel cheated! >:(

  50. ...Oh, woe is me! What is to become of this tiny insignificant island washed out to sea on a wave of its own hubris! However shall we survive like any other non-EU country?!
