Read it again! I said hang your head in shame if you voted for The Brexit Party not Brexit. A party of xenophobic, racist, money laundering, bigots.
It’s a bit like the saying. Not every one who voted Brexit is a racist but every racist voted Brexit.
No I think many racists voted UKIPQuote:

BTW, I don't actually believe this, but in keeping with the tone of the thread!!!.
Oooooh steady as in the referendum I hear some socialist veered towards UKIP.Quote:

Only an idiot would believe that everyone who voted Leave was a racist and I think it is a word which is used far too often to describe someone whose views you don't like. However, I just found this definition of racist which seems a fair one to me;-
"showing or feeling discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or believing that a particular race is superior to another."
which seems reasonable enough to me - can I ask, generally speaking, who do you think that description could be best applied to, someone who voted Leave or someone who voted Remain?
I cannot agree with the "Not every one who voted Brexit is a racist but every racist voted Brexit." statement if the Brexit mentioned in there is the party, but, see it as a concept, like Will Self did here

and I think it's probably true.
One could argue there's pockets of different racism in the remain voters . We certainly see that in football which is has a lot of what's known as working class voters and not all of them are right wing .Quote:

Surely one of the lessons of the Referendum was that voting did not divide up solely on left v right lines. For example, I was talking to someone who is nearly twenty years older than me a few days back who told me she had voted Conservative all her life, but, like me, voted Green in the European elections because of Brexit, while my sister, who is certainly to the left politically,voted Leave.Quote:

I'm not suggesting you did, I as was simply offering the same conflicting view it has created , its not black and white, and very divisive in its nature ,you can see that in all political parties and people.Quote:

anti-Semitism is becoming normal' in the Labour Party, according to a Labour MP
