They feel an affinity with them because the arrogant professional politicians have done fuck all for anyone but themselves for decades.

It's time real politicians stood the fuck up mate.

Bollocks, before Farage we had Nick Griffin, Farage cottoned on he could make money out of the xenophobic and racists in society and has been coining it ever since, got fuck all to do with the professional politicians as you’d like to call them.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Maybe an anti-semite simpleton who likes frocks more than trousers?

I see you've been triggered. I was just wondering what type of person. If you think that label applies to you I'm not going to argue with you.

That isn't the point I made though is it? People voted for Brexit because the main parties didn't convince the working class otherwise.

It's no good barking at the moon and getting all angry just because it is what it is, other people have different opinions to you it's a shocker. Anyway here are the important figures on which class voted for Brexit.

We could just shout "Frog-faced fascist over the table for a 100 times or actually address the situation?

Share of votes in the Brexit referendum of 2016 in the United Kingdom, by social grade

Characteristic	Remain	Leave
Lower Working-Class (DE)	36%	64%
Upper Working-Class (C2)	36%	64%
Lower Middle-Class (C1)	51%	49%
Upper Middle-Class (AB)	57%	43%

Nowt to do with class. Lack of education and the ability to critically think is the issue.

 

[BrianW]

It probably blows their mind that a bloke can be black, an ex-para and pro-Labour. It wrecks loads of assumptions just in one guy.

You are talking about simple-minded folk who think that 'patriot' is a synonym for ignorant, xenophobic bigot with nazi tendencies.

Correct. The man infesting this thread with his Faragian pro-fascism has no class.

My grandfather was working-class to the bone and barely educated given that he started part-time work at nine years old. Unlike most of his age group, he had no time for church either, he thought it was all stuff and nonsense, though I would not call him an atheist.

Yet he was capable of independent thought and had a moral compass. He had no time for bigots, I can tell you that.

What we see nowadays is mass brainwashing by simplistic, biased and partial media that positively encourages people to revel in ignorance and hate.

The numbers aren't lying are they? Your Grandad had Labour to fall back on didn't he? So you think the way forward is to further alienate huge swathes of the working class by ignoring them?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

You're an idiot, what always astounds me is just how stupid people throw about idiotic statements involving "Lack of critical thinking" when someone doesn't agree with what they think or believe.

Again, that's how we got Brexit and it's how your stupidity and misplaced arrogance caused it. But carry on Dibley because it's people like you that got us into this mess.

However much you insult doesn’t affect me.

People who can’t critically think think there are simple solutions to complex problems and are more easily taken in by people promising simple, yet impossible solutions.

The working class voted for Brexit, get your critical thinking head around that. Instead of barking at the moon how's about addressing that issue instead of just babbling some incoherent nonsense about racists?

It doesn't matter if half the population are easily taken in when the incumbent power brokers couldn't do the job of convincing them otherwise because they disregarded them.
