I am a feminist. Proudly so. Women are amazing and should have a say in every decision made in this country.

But still, tell us all more how you want to stick one up Emma Radacunu.

One thing with do know about Brexit, is that it has resolved the Tories issue of the undesirable right wingers it has. Whilst there were some very good reasons for Brexit, some just used it as a front to bash people of different ethnicities (a flawed view - you'd think they'd want to stay in the whitest trading block in the world). Now that minority of bigots have found without Brexit, the right wing of th Tory party has no campaign to use as cover for their opinions, and no longer has any leverage in the party. Now marginalised they will now moan about how the government represents the majority of the countries, in which they are outcasts because of their backwards beliefs.

Same thing happened with the loonies in Labour under Blair. Galloway, Livingston, Scargil all kicked out and couldn't come to terms with the idea that they weren't what the electorate wanted.

don't feed the Lefty Troll. He prefers to come on here and make a t1t of himself defending the human rights of a tennis player with the looks of a supermodel....and then going onto the Grooming Gang thread and calling us all a bunch of racists.

his preachy nature would see him survive approx 5 minutes in a village in Afghanistan. Marching up to the village elders and giving them a bo1locking on the need for gender-neutral toilets.

All our elected politicians have been elected by a democratic process.
It is in my view a flawed democratic process, far better we adopt proportional representation.

As regards the liars and hypocrites, yes some of them are but I think no party has the monopoly on that and perhaps the worst culprit is our present PM.

I expect that analysis of the Brexit vote has been done to death already on this forum. What is clear is that London and many other parts of the country did not vote for it. Time will tell if it was a good idea. I think it was Rees Mogg that said we might not see the benefits for 40 years. Personally, I think that the next 12 months will reveal it to be the greatest disaster inflicted on this country since WWII. It will almost certainly lead to the break up of the UK.

As to whether any immigrants or people from immigrant backgrounds voted for Brexit, well I expect that some did. There are at least three members of the present cabinet that fit that description and they all supported the leave vote in the referendum.

When we examine who voted leave it would appear likely that all racists voted to leave but that not everyone that voted leave is a racist. You will need to read that last sentence carefully before you accuse me of calling you or anyone else a racist.

Just curious, why would Brexit lead to the break up of the UK.

If that is Scotland ceasing to be a drain on the rest of the UK then I for one won't be unhappy.

I just want the SNP out of Westminster.

Would also effectively be the end of any hopes Labour might hold of ever regaining power.

The premise all racists voted for Brexit is disproved by the fact Lammy and Abbott voted to remain.
