Gyro Zeppeli posted:I have a game going of how long any Leave supporter can justify their reasoning to vote leave before they drop The I Word. For most leavers I know it's point number 1. I haven't noticed people being coy at all. It's single issue: Immigrants are ruining the country and are responsible for everything wrong. They'll gladly destroy their own lives and economic security to punish these fuckers. They might regret it in a year but right now they're all for going down in one giant fireball in order to kill the immigrant scourge and make the smoking ruins of Britain great again. I wonder how much better this country would be if it wasn't ruined by one of the vilest press machines in modern history. So many of the things wrong with our society is down to a hostile narrative kept simmering by the rags. I wonder if the concept of freedom of the press was ever meant to co-exist with such viralant hateful propaganda. Regarde Aduck fucked around with this message at 10:22 on Jun 2, 2016 |

I don't get it? I think the intention is that Corbyn wasn't clear but I think some of those questions are from people who didn't watch/listen? If you watched someone make a speech with "Remain" written on the front of his podium and then have to ask if he was leave or remain the problem isn't with Corbyn.

Pissflaps posted:I think the take home message is that many people are unsure about Corbyn's stance on this subject. Possibly because he's been largely irrelevant throughout the referendum campaign. The take home message is people can't read. Or can't perform critical thinking. Or don't have higher brain function. All of this is bad for Corbyn and humanity and is going to take more than a replacement leader to fix.

Namtab posted:There's not a particular problem with stupid, idiot or words of that particular ilk, unless you use them in a particular way. The problem with retarded is the same problem as spastic, that its a specific medical diagnosis that became an insult. Intent is everything. No one saying retarded ITT is ever going to be mocking people with downs syndrome. Point taken anyway. But I am getting a little frustrated just how little language there is left that can fully encapsulate my hatred for the people of this loving country. "Stupid" just doesn't have the right weight to it. Moron has a nice ring to it but it also has its origins as a medical term. I guess "Thicky thicky thickton!!!!!!!" will have to do.

I think the EU's reputation at being able to control immigration from outside Europe is too damaged for fash. Better to pull back and close the borders of our little inbred island. Britain will then be great again like it was when we uh.... ruled the world by having giant armies made up of people from all the places we conquered while being very much non-isolationist. gently caress knows. I think the plan is: 1) Leave EU 2) Britain now has infinite money 3) Britain is no.1 4) All Commonwealth nations want to be part of Britain again 5) All people in Commonwealth nations mysteriously white and European????? Makes u think 6) Britain controls world again but has no non-white population because of the dark magiks of John Dee! 7) Instrumentality

Now is that down to known voting habits of this particular area or is the Remain campaign just weak as gently caress? There are giant "Leave" signs everywhere. North Wales for reference.

You sound like a paranoid conspiracy loon any time you talk about the SNP, you realise that, right? That's not Machiavellian. It's common sense. The SNP narrative is of a hostile England. Which is why they hate Corbyn/Labour and want Brexit. What's bad for the integrity of the U.K. Is good for the SNP.

So he may have done both anyway. Puntification posted:Dunno if the polling this is based on still holds true but I found a regional breakdown of it from Feb, which some might find interesting: I live in a "relatively Europhile" area and there is nothing but "leave" signs and "leave" leaflets through my door. So I don't know what is going on other than the "remain" campaign doing a piss poor job. Unless they think they don't have to campaign in this area? Bad idea. Bad bad idea. Also I apparantly know all the euroskeptics in Wales because there's a loving lot of them for such a "europhile" area. Also Also: gently caress England.

I'm not sure Corbyn failing to revive old policies is a bad thing. He gets poo poo for minor things like nuclear disarmament. Imagine the field day they'd have with someone who wants to "betray" the UK by giving NI to Ireland. Remember all the lovely awful military blowhards telling the papers they'd totally be up for murdering Corbyn to protect the country for commies. Well that times a million. I'd say the political zeitgeist of the UK outright requires one to take babysteps or the media will make an example of you.

Saint Isaias Boner posted:I could blather out my reply but Enrico Tortolano says it better here: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/06/should-uk-brexit-trade-union-views and also I don't want to be part of a political union which is comfortable pounding Greece into the dust probably for no better reason than to show Italy and Spain what's coming to them if they don't play ball. The problem we face in Britain is that while the EU may be a shower of bastards, if we leave we just give the domestic ultra shower of bastards more power. Boris and Gove don't want out because they care about workers. Essentially "Leave" is right: The EU strips the UK of some control. And that's fantastic when you have a hostile right wing government.

Roblo posted:I'm starting to genuinely get worried now. The Leave leaflet I had through my door today is full of so much bullshit and halftruths that I know so many people are going to fall for. No one seems to care. Especially not the "Remain" campaign which tried to scare people into voting remain but gave up when that backfired. That was the entire "Remain" plan it seems. Go "THE ECONOMY" and when all the wankers shouted back "IMMIGRANTS" they threw up their hands and sulked. This is your Britain cameron. Everyone is a mad dog just the way you wanted them.

Tesseraction posted:You do find that the people who have been telling Remain to gently caress off have by and large been blue collar workers. The racism is a problem with their reasoning but not with their frustration. When your life has been poo poo despite working hard then surely someone else is nicking it from you? I just consider the UK's working class to have been corrupted almost totally into lumpenprole and plan accordingly. It's not like Marxism didn't already have this handy term ready as a guilt-free way of reasoning that some of the uneducated working class are beyond hope.

Shouldn't something as important as leaving the EU have a threshold vote? Like it should require 70% wanting to leave. Dead heats such as this should result in the losing side rioting but I don't think Remain have the instincts for that. Unfortunately. It's going to end up with 51% of the 30% that vote forcing us out of Europe. poo poo like this should have been A) Mandatory vote B) Threshold.
