    BT, please read my posts 173, 175 and 183 carefully before you start spouting tripe like that.

    I think you DID read them but you are deliberately pretending I said something different.

    Where on earth have I accused 17.4 million people of being racists or pursuing a racist agenda?
    CLUE....I didn't.

    If your comprehension skills are not up to the mark then that is your problem - but don't accuse me of writing something that I clearly didn't.

    I repeat what I said...

    Like I say, "Now, I am not calling Brexiteers racists and Little Englanders.

    But...

    Why are there so many racists and Little Englanders in the Brexit camp, and very few in remain camp?

    But 59 you need to read what you’ve put again yourself because I interpreted it that way - so did Sinkov and BT.

    If you read it you are suggesting that large percentage of leavers are racist.

    I also put this to you before that even if people did vote to leave on immigration matters it simply Does not make them racists.

    Army, no where have I suggested that the large percentage of leavers are racist. I thought I had made that clear. If not then I am saying it now.
    I was asking why the racist groups in Britain (BNP, Britain First, EDL, National front etc) all supported Brexit. I was not implying that you, or anyone else on here, were supporters of any of these groups.
    I think it is a fair question to ask?

    And yes, talking about immigration control is not racist - it is a very responsible thing to discuss.

    I don't know what's got into you these days 59. If you want to claim that us Brexiteers are motivated by racism, then come right out and say it, you're perfectly entitled to if that's what you think. But please don't just make sly insinuations and then back off when challenged, I used to think you were better than that, but now I'm beginning to wonder.

    Evening Sinkov!

    I asked a perfectly valid question and no one has given an answer.

    Instead, I was accused of calling all, or most, Brexiteers racists and Little Englanders which is total tosh - and you know it.

    I seem to have struck a nerve with one or two....

    In what respect is this question valid in the context of posters on this msgboard discussing Brexit ?

    Why do you expect anyone on this forum to be able to answer this question ?

    To infer someone who belongs to the Socialist Equality Party is a racist or had a "nerve struck" about "Little England," is a bit rich even if it comes from a Lib Dem.
    I will ask again, just what bit about the EU protects worker's rights? Zero hour contracts and the "Gig Economy" come right out of Trump's play book. The EU sucks and when we leave, just watch the orderly queue grow to join us.

    It was you who brought up the "Little Englander" myth 1959-60.
