  1. People died during the EU referendum because of the hate created by the remain side as well. Only the guy that was beaten to death by a remain supporting neighbour wasn't a female Labour MP. So no one gave a shit about him.

  2. When the SNP said the Scottish referendum was a 'once in a generation opportunity' they lied. And they knew they were lying. The joke is that they would've demanded a second referendum eventually anyhow. It's what they do. Effectively, they are demanding that they should get another referendum simply because the rest of the UK didn't vote the same way Scotland did. But then the SNP doesn't stand for election anywhere else in the UK, so that would always be the case.

  3. Have you forgotten how we had a Scottish prime minster not so long ago?

  4. Actually, I seem to remember a number of prominent people who campaigned in the Scottish ref complained about threats and intimidation.

  5. AngelsOfAresED Well, of course you detest 'Little England'. Nobody hates England quite as much as the liberal left. But I don't see any Mary le Pen, PEGIDA, or any far right nationalist movements gaining ground in England. Not like they are in Europe. Despite the fact that there are mainstream Scottish nationalists and Welsh nationalist parties, I see no similar English nationalism. Perhaps you should be grateful that the English are not anywhere near as bad as you make them out to be.

  6. Yes, but then the left see Scottish independence as a way to gain power. And they're prepared to break up the UK to get it. Divide and rule. It's what the hard left have always done.

  7. I'm sorry, but UKIP is rabidly right wing? I'm guessing you are used to denouncing anyone who disagrees with you as xenophobic, racist, fascist, nazi, etc. But it's become so common on the left that no one takes any notice anymore. Your contempt for England is sadly all too typical of the left also. 'White Van Man' and all that. I'm not a tory. But your pathological hatred of the conservative party disgusts me. As does your sneering vitriol for people who holiday in 'Benidorm'. You are precisely the reason why the Labour party is dying. The quicker it dies, the quicker it can rebuild itself into a party that actually supports the people it is supposed to represent. So keep up the good work.

  8. I see. So wanting democratic accountability is now the preserve of the nationalists? I guess that would include the SNP? ...Oh, no. Wait. Because wanting control over those who govern you is only acceptable when it's the left who has the control. So much for democracy.     And yes, you've already done your sneering about cheap Union Jacks. You talk about Le Pen, Wilders, Trump, Putin, etc, and I would agree with you. I detest them, more than I detest you. But you are the very reason why they are gaining popularity. Because you can only piss on people for so long before they take offence.   I see no English nationalism. All I see is a shrill sanctimonious and hate-filled left that has lurched so far to the extremes that it has completely lost the plot. I'm glad May is where she is. And I'm glad that Farage came along when he did. Because looking at the alternative, at the le pen's, PAGIDA's, Trump's, and Wilders, it could all be very different.

  9. The reality is that if you are a member of the EU, you do indeed give up democratic accountability. The UK is a minority in the EU parliament. And the EU parliament legislates for all member states. Making the UK a minority in its own governance. The test of any democratic system is can you get rid of those who govern over you? And as far as the EU is concerned, the answer is no. There are no if's or but's. The lack of democratic accountability is not excused simply because some people don't like the present government. And therefore think it acceptable to ignore the democratic process. And you couldn't be more wrong about the lurch to the right. Socially, there is little difference between the Conservatives and Labour before Corbyn and his clowns took over. Can you think of any? It is not the UK that has lurched to the far right. But the Labour party that has lurched to the far left. You now have the shadow chancellor reading from Mao's little red book. You have the demand for equality of outcome over equality of opportunity. You have 'inequality' rather than 'poverty'. You have a Labour party made up of Trots and useful idiots. And you are left wondering why the rest of us aren't following? You complain about the attitude "forriners wot don't speak English on the bus". But have you ever considered why that might be important? A society is not simply a random collection of people dropped haphazardly about a landmass. Shared values do matter to people. Language does matter to people. After all, why do you think that politicians on both the left and right talk about 'communities'? You say that May is 'desperate to appease the Brexiters'. You mean she is carrying out the will of UK voter, surely? In a way that, no doubt, you would expect the prime minister to do if the remain side had won. Yes, Brexit means Brexit. It means the UK leaves the EU. It means that the UK voter elects a sovereign parliament. And UK law is sovereign in the UK. And what is so bad about the cross of St George? Or a nodding bulldog bobble-head? Is that your worst nightmare? That, (gasp!) people should actually take pride in their nation? I see a lot of hysteria from the hard left about the rise of the hard right, but I don't see the evidence. Not in mainstream politics. The tories aren't the far right. Neither are UKIP. Certainly there has been a backlash against Islam. I'm no fan of the ideology, but its sickening to see how some are willing to dehumanise a whole (varied) group of people simply as 'the Muslims'. This has encouraged the far right all across the western world. But again, this is because the right people are not saying the right things. When you refuse to say the truth, when you lie to hide reality, no matter whether you do that for understandable reasons, all it takes is for someone like Trump, or le Pen to come along and say what everyone knows to be the truth, and suddenly they are the only ones talking sense. All I see is a very vocal hate-filled extreme left doing what the extreme left has always done. And that is to denounce their mainstream political opponents as fascist. And we know from history that has always been their favoured tactic. But its very dangerous to be doing that. Because if you call the tories and UKIP 'the far right', and most people can see quite clearly that they are not, then what are you going to call your le Pen's and PEGIDA's?

  10. We have the Labour party under comrade Corbyn. And the scum that is the Socialist Worker's Party.

  11. So it's the fault of a global crash when Labour is in power. Then when the tories end up having to balance the books to pay for Labour's bank bailouts, suddenly it's not the fault of a global crash. But the fault of the tories. Typical retarded Corbynite thinking.

  12. I see. So according to you, the only EU legislation that relates to the UK is the working time directive and being a signatory to the ECHR? Then it should be a simple and quick process to rewrite that legislation or keep it, should it not? But that's not what the remain side are saying now is it? And of course there are cuts! The country is in massive debt! And unlike Corbyn and his clowns, the tories realise that the magic money tree does not exist. But it's nothing like in Greece. And you would have to be an economic dunce to believe the country can continue to spend money it doesn't have. And no. It is the Labour party that has lurched to the hard left. That is why they are losing badly.  Yes, language and culture are important. I find it difficult to imagine the kind of skewed thinking that believes that is not so. Anti-muslim feeling has nothing to do with the EU referendum. It's all across the EU, didn't you know? Heard of PEGIDA have you? How about le Pen and the French ban on people being able to wear what they like on their own heads? Is that down to the EU referendum too? Come off it. We both know why there is such anti-Islamic feeling. Its because of Islamic terrorism. And because of western leaders are playing around the issue and not being honest. So don't try to blame it on people voting to leave the EU. I fuckin hope anyone will get in rather than le Pen! But I don't see any similar far right party getting anywhere near government here. You're so obsessed with detesting 'little England' that you can't even recognise the shit that's going on in Europe. Because they are so much more 'progressive' aren't they? Remind me who banned people from wearing what they liked on their heads in France? Was it Francois Hollande, by any chance? A socialist? Even the evil subhuman tories didn't stoop so low!
