State of the UK
“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -
That's how I see the UK. A country run by 86 far right MP's voted into power by a load of thick thugs egged on by Murdock's newspapers.Originally posted by darmstadt View Post"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George Orwell -

I have to admit that it's not just the UK but also across the world that similar scenes are now being acted out but it's sad to see this hatred in the UK which as any Tory will tell you, is a tolerant, respectful country...“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Unfortunately, what appears to be tolerance is a facade. Comments I receive in private do not match peoples official opinions. There is underlying hard racism in the UK on all sides not just white Brits but also among ethnic minority and religious groups. Again, this is brought about via top down from politicians, religious leaders, and news media and then used by the poorly educated as an excuse for their own problems and issues. On the on the other side of the coin we have local and national government too afraid to enforce the law on minority groups.Originally posted by darmstadt View PostI have to admit that it's not just the UK but also across the world that similar scenes are now being acted out but it's sad to see this hatred in the UK which as any Tory will tell you, is a tolerant, respectful country..."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Should've gone to Specsavers*. I see the UK rather differently, but then I don't hang around rent-a-mob protest marches waiting for a punch-up.Originally posted by Paddy View PostThat's how I see the UK.

So as a right wing Brexit supporter you condone these groups? We know they are racist (the nazi tattoos and salutes give it away), but do you not think that anyone condoning them are racist too? Same goes for any other minority group with these kinds of extremist views - none of them should be condoned.Originally posted by woohoo View PostCan we move this post to the dickhead thread.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter man
