ORIGINAL: PeonForHer quote:
Or you could say I just don't believe her. I do. I've seen the police report of the incident. We have racist incidents exploding all over the country, now. Of course Brexit wasn't just about the immigration issue and of course not all Brexiteers were racists but the fact is the racists feel legitimised by the referendum result. What do you mean by 'exploding'? You make it sound like the Columbian 50 years civil war. Americans here are not getting a balanced view from you four. What none of you have said is that actually a lot of 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants voted to leave. Leaders of the Jewish community have stated that their vote was pretty much split down the middle, with many having concerns over the rise of the far right in Europe and immigrants from certain parts of the world being invited in. Many people of Caribbean and African origin in the West Midlands voted to leave, with concerns over immigration and the general direction that the EU was going in. Further political integration is not everyone's cup of tea. Many Poles also voted to leave. They all believed that is far better to go with what we have in England than change it. Now of course the great paradox is while you four would have people believe that you're so liberal, you don't trust working class people who voted to leave. You, general you, think they're stupid and racist, and you, general you, have stated you will not accept the result. You refuse to accept that people don't agree with you and have labelled them uniformed, misinformed, stupid and racist. But then what would you know? General you again. One particular poster on this board lives in Alderley Edge. Now, I lived in Manchester so know this place. It's where all of the people go to live who have a bit of money and don't want to live in working class areas. Are you people fucking serious?! She has a bit of a puffed eye, so someone didn't hit her very hard. It could be anything that caused that, and judging by what she has had to say on here, which is utter contempt for people who disagree with her and outright lies at times; it wouldn't surprise me if no one has touched her. People in this country, in the working class areas, have many, many concerns; and yes, some of these relate to immigration. But then, which country doesn't have have concerns over immigration? They certainly do in Germany and France and everywhere else in Europe - are they all racists? I for one wish I now hadn't voted Remain. You, general you, have shown up what the EU is all about. Refusing to accept that people who disagree with you have legitimate concerns, labelling their concerns idiotic, refusing to accept the democratic process. Has it ever crossed your mind that this is a big reason why people vote Leave? Because once again the political elites and their supporters have refused to listen to the average man on the street - like they've been doing for a long time now. A lot of people feel disconnected from places such as Alderley Edge and simply do not trust our polticians and people from these places to deliver for them. You can't even accept their view, so what on earth would lead to think they should follow you because you're in it for them? Liberal? When it suits.
