So, nobody voted to Brexit because of hysteria about immigration? Is that your premise, here? Can you offer us any evidence for this extraordinary proposition?
Or is it, OK, some did. Well, then, how many? Seeing as how it passed but barely, can you give us a reason to believe it would have passed without that factor?
I have cigarettes available, I can blow smoke up my ass without your help.
I’d say 52% of the British public just shot themselves in the foot. I question their judgment. After all, Britain was large enough to opt out of basically anything about the EU they didn’t like, a la carte style. I doubt whether England will have the same degree of influence. The Scots presumably will gain power, as will a united Ireland.
…“You are old,” said the youth, “As I mentioned before,
And have grown most uncommonly fat;
Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door—
Pray, what is the reason of that?”
“In my youth,” said the sage, as he shook his grey locks,
“I kept all my limbs very supple
By the use of this ointment—one shilling a box—
Allow me to sell you a couple?”…
Dude. I love you man, no matter what they say about you. I mean, I know you’re not so clueless you just asked Stringbean for a cite for reals. I know you’re not so dim as to not realize that the ol’ bean is trying to be sarcastic. Whatever those other guys say about you, you’re still aces in my book.
Why, I should think not. I learned this fact from all my butthurt liberal friends on Facebook who just simply had to castigate those that disagree with them with howls of racism-xenophobia-bigot-you-hate-brown-people attacks.
I tell you, it’s like I had seen it before or something. It’s like anytime you hold a differing viewpoint from a liberal that automatically turns you into a racist. And boy, are they just jumping out of their knickers to tell everyone about it.
I love the smell of liberal tears in the morning. Sorry your Big Bro super-nanny experiment isn’t working out so great.
Some given % are overt racist. Some are not but construct elaborate rationales for why they agree with those who are on any given question. Some are not but fall for the elaborate rationales and end up voting with the first two categories of people.
Stringbean has a lifetime SSQ* of 17.65.
His OP was only 6 words with a ‘tripe value’ of 122 beans, so that’s a BPW (beans per word) of OVER 20!
Even Clothy’s never hit 20 (and we’ve seen how intelligent he is in this thread…)
There have been few of those on this board (that didn’t involve paper towel tubes).
Not just lack of education, but also lower-working class (the two are not mutually inclusive) and OLD.
So dumb, working class and OAP folks in the UK voted to get out of the EU, freaking out those who are vaguely intelligent, working and YOUNG (who have more investment in the future than the old farts harkening to the good days when Steptoe and Son was prime TV.
The youngest Brits did not get out to vote in the same proportion as the older ones. It’s not smart to skip voting & then bitch about the folks who do.
Of course Brexit is ridiculous. It’s a warning to all of us who don’t want The Donald as President.
