Heard some good ones over the last few weeks. I was talking to a woman, probably in her 30's, and amongst other things she was claiming that the reason all these gay people are getting married was because of the EU. A used car dealer on Radio Wales who was blaming Brussels for the price of second hand cars being so low was my favourite one. Today on 5 Live a bloke from the West Midlands who voted out because of the bedroom tax ffs
"The immigrants are both taking all our jobs and sponging off the system in equal measures"
"My eggs are shit quality so if we leave the EU I can go to the local farmer and get proper one's"
Half a dozen posts and my previous point that a significant percentage of the population are not competent to make any decision which is any more complex than red sauce or brown sauce has been proven.
Havnt got a clue mate but that was a remain voter.
Love it!
I Love the smell of Arrogance in the morning.
It's a good point Jimmy, whilst I think in the end it could make things that little bit worse for a lot of poor areas they didn't have much to lose and I think a lot of voting was down to them finally sticking two fingers up to the establishment and the succession of governments who have forgotten them. It's a shame we don't get this sort of turn out for general elections though where they could actually make things better for themselves.
Whilst saying that I do think a decent anount of the leave vote was made up either by people who didn't know what they were voting for, people who had no reason to vote that way and some made up by xenophobes and racists.
I agree with Jim's succinct observation. However, he gave no credit to the legions of smelly bastards who also voted en masse for Leave.
In a similar vein:
"why are Iceland in Euro16 if they're not in the EU?"
"does this mean we're not in the Euro vision song contest anymore?"
"at least we'll not be dictated to be the European Court of Human Rights"
