No it isn't! It's a lie. A commonly believed lie but still a lie.

UK democracy lies solely in Parliament and is exercised via us voting in representatives.

Whatever MPs said before, during or after either the referendum, a manifesto or upon election can always be overturned by changing circumstances and second thoughts. That is the way our democracy works and should the MPs fail to act upon their consciences and try to give us what they believe we need and instead give us what we want, or what they promised in the past, then that would be anti-democratic.

And you have nothing to say regarding the utter tripe that you've responded to.

'Gammon' is all encompassing bud, even for 'Mini-O'Briens'.

An 'appalling statement'? It's from the census, like I stated. Different types of Asian are accounted for.

It's appalling wherever it comes from. That kind of terminology, especially when used by official sources, is one of the biggest reasons we have such problems.

By calling it a Mosque you were happy to give that impression when I had to research it to once again confirm that the truth isn't something you're that concerned with.....Just like you were happy for the authorities to cover up the Islamic rape gangs.

I used the term used locally, both by non Muslims and the Muslims who use it. As the authorities did not "cover up" any "Islamic rape gangs"there is nothing for me to be either happy or unhappy about. All that happened was a probable decision to handle crime quietly and without making a big divisive anti religion fuss about it. Just because decisions were made to follow a strategy that you almost certainly don't know anything about, but still disapprove of doesn't mean there was a "cover-up". Sometimes things are too sensitive to be allowed to escalate in the public perception. I recognise the downside of doing that, and that you would never approve of it in any circumstances, but I can understand why it might be needed.

If you find reality appalling then perhaps you shouldn't be moving to such a non diverse area.....An area that has been ethnically non diverse since Britain was created.

You are the one that moved to a non diverse area not me and you're the one who claims to love diversity.

I don't choose where I live because of it's diversity or lack of it! I just don't consider it! I chose it because of past associations, that my brother lives close by, the lack of heavy traffic and the beautiful countryside and coast. As I also love to sea fish it's ideal.

Asian wife eh....Like I thought, you took what you wanted and then surprise surprise you end up in one of the least diverse and nicest areas in the country.

I am not prepared to discuss how my relationship happened, where or why. It's none of your business. Suffice to say she is making a very significant contribution to the British economy.

Then you give it large about others being 'racist'.

I tell things as I see them but actually very rarely accuse anyone of being racist but if I do you can be sure it is richly deserved.

Judge people not by their words, but by their deeds.

I do. Maybe you should try harder to understand the words to see how they relate to the deeds.

Dangerclose will believe any pro-brexit claptrap

Their job is to hold the Government to account, make laws and represent us. We told them what to do and they haven't done it.

I am and there is always a very big attendance there on a Saturday for their prayers etc. It is always referred to locally as "the Mosque", even though it provides other services than the strictly religious.

Cornwall is 95.7% "white"! I think that an appalling statement. The colour of an individual's skin matters not a thing. How do you classify a Japanese, who has very white skin but is ethnically from Asia. My own wife is originally from Asia, and has a slightly browner skin than me. So what? Almost all Eastern Europeans, of whom there are many in Cornwall, have white skins, but most are immigrants, some Muslim.
