Very refreshing considering the usual “smile and stand by your man” bullshit we get here in the States.

But how would he show his values off? All this complaining amounts to retrogrades begging for a safe space of their own, but they don’t have the brass to admit it.

“2. Scotland wont quit, they cant have a referendum without the consent of parliament. They had one 2 years ago, so that’s the end of that shite.”

Sorry, but I’m from the North East of England, and I currently live in Wales, everyone I know is from a working class background, and there’s so much fucking xenophobia it’s unreal. (although funnily enough, virtually none when it comes to my age, the 18-24 bracket, which I just fit into at 24)

Oh fuck off you racist old white person. Yes immigration control is racist, NOBODY IS STEALING YOUR JOBS.

You could have not read it.

And, I’d suppose, Clarkson might be an old, right-wing British man, but he’s also a very wealthy old, right wing British man, with a number of investments that would quire predictably have been negatively effected(Predictions which came true, to boot) by Brexit, so I’m probably not as surprised as it might sound.

I worked in the British media, and I’ve mates who worked with Clarkson right up until his departure from the BBC on various projects. I’ve even met the man himself, albeit briefly and in a professional capacity. I know precisely how dumb and right-wing he can be, and I don’t mean in character.

No, just people with evil positions on things.

“Many people like to live in their own country with their own culture.”

Clarkson’s neighbors and buds with David Cameron. Boris and Nigel aren’t part of the Chipping Norton set like Clarkson, Cameron, various Murdochs, etc.

“So...the people directly affected by said migration/imported labor?”

“And yet when you get older YOU WILL agree with the generations demographically preceding you.”

You do realize that much of the issues in the Middle East are a result of the UK and the rest of Europe carving up those territories for themselves with no regard to the fact that they forced groups together who hate each other.

Heh, I guess if you make that they litmus test, then never since nations only existed in the Middle East after the end of European colonialism. Kingdoms cooperated together. Generally at the point of a sword, but that’s the same story across human history. Europe only stopped murdering the fuck out of each other 70…

You might want to take a middle eastern history course some time. Or hell, just fall into a Wikipedia hole.

While I’m sure some racism played a part in some votes, it sounds like it was more of a xenophobic driven issue. The concern around foreigners from a region of the world the British Empire helped to fuck up is kind of amusing.

Yes please hate liberals, I certainly want my wife to die because she can’t get an abortion, because birth control was banned. It’s a 2 way street. Either make it work or continue whining and not vote.

I was actually referring to Boris—if you’re reading Raph, I love your work, seriously.

And yet he never got offered the Top Gear gig!
