shaun.lawson Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 6 hours ago, SE16 3LN said: Its time xenophobic posts like this were exposed for what they are, bigoted drivel. While a number may have voted to leave the EU on the basis of their prejudice, many did so because they see the development of the EU super state as part of the development of Global capitalism which serves to do nothing but encourage increasing wealth gaps between individuals, nations and continents. It is exploitative and racist by its very nature. This is a more than legitimate point of view - and is partly why I was a Leaver a year or so before the referendum. What changed my mind? Leave's lies - plus the awareness that everything you describe above is even worse in the UK, and we have a whole system which entrenches it. Not only is that system incredibly difficult to change - but the loudest Leavers want to make it worse. Much worse. To put it another way: voting for something espoused by Jacob Rees-Mogg, Michael Gove and Boris Johnson in order to help the poor and trash multinational capitalism is, well, close to the definition of insanity, don't you think? 5 hours ago, jambo89 said: I voted leave and and voted for independence. I really admire this. It's 100% consistent. Those who voted for Scottish independence (which as Scotland wanted to share sterling and therefore have its financial policy directed by the Bank of England, wasn't actually being offered), only to then vote to stay in the EU (which is likely to expect an independent Scotland to join the euro) perplex me, to put it mildly.

There is a fair sized group of Tory MPs who will happily jump ship from the grandstanding of opposing the deal to backing it.

Be honest. Hardie formed labour based on his experience as a working class person from the age of 7. He also constantly educated himself throughout his life and honed his skills as a public speaker. Said James Mavor of him: "He never fell into the habits of his fellows, but identified himself rather with the intellectual and artistic proletariat than with any faction of the middle class." From a biography: "Throughout the 1870s he was involved in the process of self-education, going to night school, teaching himself shorthand and submitting short pieces for publication to the Glasgow press." Note that educating himself didn't mean listening to toff arseholes like Nigel Farage spreading bullshit. It meant actually educating himself. Something you seem to have no concept of how to differentiate from propaganda suckling. That you assume I have arrived at my views on brexit because of Nigel Farage and that I am unable to form my own opinion is exactly the same snobbish attitude that many on the remain side have. You want to believe I'm racist thick or easily fooled. And hold my views in contempt. I am a brexit and independence voter. I voted for both these on principle. I vote for the green party on principle. I missed no point. Shaun like you wish to make out that only remain voters understand the vote.

Two paragraphs are quoted and a link to the article given. “By the end of 2017, the British people, denied a voice within the EU for over four decades, will decide whether the UK should remain…or leave. An opening salvo.” “Thatcher and the Eurosceptics were right all along. Not only are there no real advantages to Britain remaining, but the EU acts against economic prosperity, social cohesion, democracy and nation states; and step by step, is creating a continent both divided and increasingly fractious. If it had never been created, would anyone seriously now invent it? When the referendum comes, the British people should vote to leave.” https://www.opendemocracy.net/can-europe-make-it/shaun-lawson/just-what-is-point-of-european-union That's a belter. ?

Victorian Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) By the time the UK and EU are at the point of fully agreeing the future free trade treaty and other arrangements, we could quite easily be around 5-6 years down the line from the referendum result. It's all very well having fanciful notions of respecting the democratic will of the people but it blankly ignores the very real possibility that the peoples' will of that point in the future will be different. Is it really credible that the UK population (2016) dictates the will and prospects of the UK population (2021-2) ? There is a credibility deficit there and a denial of democracy for many people.
