    Well for the first time in many a year I've decided not to bother voting. I feel saddened and let down were squabbling over what's on offer.. it about time the public stood up to politicians and held them accountable for there actions.
    For far to long we are voting for the best of a bad bunch.. well this time I don't even think we have that..
    Gl to us all. I think we will need it

    Impartial, knowledgeable observers know that all deals including No Deal are 'sh1t' compared to what we have now. It doesn't bother me as I have the resources to get through it and an Irish passport but the madness of the working class leading their children to a less prosperous future through ignorance and prejudice is simply sad.

    What is sh1t is the position that labour would put themselves in before their negotiations have even commenced as per my previous post.

Now you want to make a point about antisemitism in Labour and suddenly your wife and all her family are not only Jewish but (but but but) you know they will all be voting Labour. You are a fantasist of the first order and unscrupulous to boot.
    He’s a political activist. What do you expect.

    Saying that, he is true to his beliefs.

    I’d wager a few quid, the MM Barnsley contingent would be True Blue Tories if they had a few quid in the bank.

    He has confirmed hes a political activist for Labour (outed) on a previous post, this deviated from his previous spurious neutral position of "give me the evidence as Im here to be convinced"

    Nothing wrong with him being an activist now hes out of the closet

    Howdy, there is a slight problem imo with this statement as it seems evident to me (or likely) that 'beliefs' often flow from personal circumstances and hence it is irrelevant that the Barnsley MM contingent if they were different people with different financial circumstances might well have different political leanings.
    My problem with raging is not that he has family, friends and colleagues that match his description but rather that he is able always to weave them into a story that just happens to support his view of Britain as a multicultural paradise.

    Obviously you are not working class because you are not ignorant nor prejudice. But I'm working class so I must be both. Are you calling all working class ignorant and prejudice.

    You have my post in front of you; it's meaning is clear enough I think. I do not say, nor even imply, that I cannot be guilty of ignorance and prejudice. I am. I merely state that the enthusiasm for Brexit among many working class people is down to ignorance and prejudice.

    . That's OK then it's only some working class people who are ignorant and prejudice.

    I consider myself working class, certainly my origins are, as are those of my wife. I do not believe working class people are more ignorant or prejudiced than anyone else. I referred to the working class in my post simply because imo it is they and their children who will suffer most from Brexit.
