    You could but if you did that you would be questioning my integrity. Im sure that us exactly what you would like to do - so why not come right out and say it.

    Weak way to debate though. You dont like the personal slights Kerr puts in his posts, why do it yourself?

    I find it remarkable that so many working class guys from here promote a no deal brexit.
    You are the very people who are going to be severely damaged by such an event.
    It really is turkeys voting for Christmas.
    Travelling around Europe as I do simply to post on here I can tell you that we are a total embarrassment as far as they are concerned.
    Brexit will have no effect to people like myself but to working class people it will be very very damaging indeed.
    We are about to jump off a cliff because of a vote that had a very significant number of racists,the less intelligent and bigoted old people.
    I am concerned and ashamed.
    Johnson has caused a lot of this by manipulating the less intelligent and socially deprived which sadly is something that has happened throughout history mainly by the rich and powerful such as Johnson.
    Be afraid very afraid of a no deal brexit.

    What does the line regarding "...….a vote that had a very significant number of racists, the less intelligent and bigoted old people." actually mean ???
    Are you referring to the referendum?
    As far as I was aware, everyone in the UK that was eligible to vote had the option to vote or not.
    It was not just limited to those 'groups' that you mentioned!!

    Also, do you have any actual evidence to back up your other generalised 'claims'?

    I voted Leave, but I'm afraid it's an unpalatable fact that (to quote Will Self) "all the racists, bigots and anti-semites in the country probably voted leave"....and likely as not got the leave vote over the line.

    I haven't met or read of one yet. Every racist or bigot I've had the misfortune to encounter since the referendum, either in print or in person, has to a man been a keen leaver.

    Have you come across any?...racists that voted Remain that is?

    Yes, that's why I said it. It's a bit like football hooligans, they can come from all walks of life!!

    A very good point redshank. I agree, although most people who voted to leave were not racists and bigots , I am sure as well that racists and bigots did vote to leave on the blame Johnny foreigner argument. I would be very surprised if there are any racists and bigots out there who voted to stay. In short, for me, they hijacked the referendum for their own ends. This is one of the reasons why i did not vote at all even though I do have leave sympathies.
