Glen Sannox Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Zing. I'm sure your worry over your inability to slag off Muslims is of more concern than the restricting of their civil rights, the spread of programs like Prevent and their targeting by Islamophobic hate groups like the EDL and Britain First. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my point. 1 minute ago, welshbairn said: What's the alternative? Putin style? I may have been a little hasty earlier. I'd like to reaffirm my allegiance to this country's democracy and its human prime minister. It may not be perfect but it's still the best government we have.

Wee Bully Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Doubly so. On the one hand a referendum about something as complex as the EU is fucking stupid. On the other, Remainers have literally zero idea or willingness to understand why people are pissed off enough at them to vote for something like Brexit and trying to overturn it by “proving” it happened via shenanigans is proof positive of that. I understand clearly that people voting for Brexit are either stupid, racist or both. Does that cover the bases? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you could add desperate to that. We’re very lucky that we have an escape route up here from the shitshow that’s been Thatcher and Blair’s brand of politics. f**k knows how I’d feel if I lived in somewhere like Grimsby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps were manipulated into voting against their interests by appeals to their prejudices, that had nothing to do with the issues in the referendum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Every single one of the arguments put forward to leave were rebutted - the rebuttal just wasn't listened to for whatever reason. Trying to pretend that we woz robbed because of some "troll" Twitter accounts and targetted ads from seemingly dubious means isn't going to cut it. The more pressing problem is that people didn't buy the Remain campaign arguments to the same extent and no one has bothered to try and guess why. It couldn't possibly be that people are fed up of these politicians failing them, and chose to reject their arguments and their almost limitless pool of experts backing them up, could it? Too easy to blame the Russians and this data analytics company that seems to have sprung into the headlines from nowhere yesterday (and there are many issues here not just elections). I'm not saying they didn't have an impact, but equally they aren't the cause of Brexit much as some keep trying to spin it. The EU being complex is a good point. People don't like things they don't understand and so there really was an open goal there to mislead people. Trouble is that politicians have done that since time immortal and the EU referendum was no different 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Poverty and inequality on the rise in Scotland http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-43498345 Who's at fault? The Scottish government, the Westminster government, the poor themselves, the statisticians, or a combination of all. Or something else entirely. Edited for pedants. Scottish rather than SNP. The SNP have been the Scottish government for a long time. The Tories are only just in on their own. I didn't post it to have a go at the SNP. You shouldn't take everything as a sleight.
