Of course you will get the odd idiot who takes it too far.

52% of the population are not like that.

I never got the racist attack remarks from any news source though they are starting to report on it.

Most of it is from social media. See here: [color=yellow]-removed- too much s...e they have the loudest voice (unfortunately)

I haven't seen one person say that.

show a post with All in the same sentence as idiots.

just because some including me have said leavers are idiots, does not mean we think all are. just in general.

Generalistion is a pretty big part of bigotry by the way, but I wasn't referring OCUK in isolation, I'm referring to In campaigners in general p) who are raging all over the internet.

Again, for the record, I voted Remain.

If there's actually video evidence of this then these people are absolute morons and can hopefully be caught with the evidence. If these are just 'quotes' from people though I wouldn't put it past a lot of the remainers making stuff up after the way i've seen a lot of them acting since Friday.

Yes, there are videos and there are images of people holding banners and so on. I'm certain those will be reviewed by the powers that be.

It's not made up, it's very real.

Our international image is in tatters because of that minority.

Yeah all of Britain is racist like all Muslims are terrorists.

Pretty much sums it up, the way the news was portraying controlled migration as race bait for no migration did not help.

Excuse me but EDL and BNP are not the same thing. In fact, BNP loathed the EDL. EDL was primarily about religion, not race.

Irrelevant - they both promote hate as 'telling it like it is' as with Remain voters on here.

Sturgeon is bossing this.

Almost no-one comes out of the whole thing with credit. but she's well on top.

The SNP are stoking the uncertainty and decisiveness because it plays to their advantage - their aim is to get English people hating Scottish people and vice versa. Salmond's performance on Question Time yesterday was a disgrace. History will not judge them kindly.

YES. I know it's a minority of skinheads still. But if it continues to take traction; these people will be the front page of the leave campaign and they'll be representing leave voters because they have the loudest voice (unfortunately)

no they won't :confused:

they don't even have a platform... it is a scattered minority of skinheads, they have no voice - best they can do is try stunts like that banner and some leaflets to Polish people

they're not representing leave voters

Just thought I would check-in with my old pal the Daily Mail to see how he is doing today, I mean I can agree with this.

We can also be certain that if the vote had gone the other way by the same margin, those in favour of staying in the EU would have delivered some pious words about the beneficial workings of democracy, and cheerfully accepted the result.

I also believe that in such an event almost everyone in the Leave camp would have accepted the outcome as the expression of the democratic will of the British people. If Leave had lost, there would have been no calls for a new round of voting.

Why, then, do so many in the Remain camp — and I am talking about the millions of people who have signed the petition — shamelessly propose another referendum? It seems to me that their arrogant disregard for the popular vote mirrors the lack of democracy at the very heart of the European Union.

Indeed. I think that when the dust settles down, the SNP will be on a slow decline.

I think the payment required for EU trade access is the same as what we pay now with our rabte off so £190m a week, not £350m.

But the rest looks pretty much right except you forgot we wont be beholdant to the European court of justice so we will be able to set any stupid law we want here without checks. I know a lot of people would like to see the WTD directive gone and the 11 hour rest requirement.

No, access to the single market means you have to abide by all the regulations governing them still. Until you get laws through Westminster all ECJ rulings are valid.

Off topic slightly but it made no sense to me why the Lib-Dems took such a drubbing in 2015 elections. They were the ones stopping all the really bad tory cuts from 2010-2015.

Then they took all the blame!

Tory spin...I said many a time the best thing that happened to uk politics in a long while was the coalition.
