    Brexit thread - what happens next

    My "whole point" was that the the people involved with campaigning for Brexit can not be described as "running away", I've yet to hear how that is wrong. My claim is a rebuttal to the claim I mentioned above. I meant "immediately" in my post as "very quickly after the vote [6 days] and the...

    Brexit thread - what happens next

    Because they did, the result was on 24th and both Gove and Leadsom both entered the race to become the Prime Minister on the 30th, a mere 6 days after the result. I'm sorry if you want to have a semantics debate over whether I used the word immediately incorrectly or should have used 'fairly...

    Missing the point in favour of relative pedantry...sigh Do you believe launching a bid to become PM shortly after the Brexit vote can be labelled as "running away" from the fallout of the vote?

    Did they? Other than Nigel Farage quitting the UKIP leadership (which was more of a 'mission accomplished' thing ) who has "ran" away? Boris Johnson is now Foreign Secretary and will therefore be involved in Brexit negotiations alongside David Davis. Gove and leadsom both launched immediate...

    The EU Commission are "appointed" not elected, much like the House Of Lords them. The major difference is the House Of Lords don't have the power to propose legislation unlike the Commission. I would rather the people making our laws were elected rather than being a mate of someone else who...

    Another Germany Attack

    You didn't say 'Middle East', you said 'that region' which in the context of the question you were asking implied 'that' meant the region they were a dictator in.

    Twitter: Being black and fat trumps being gay and white

    This is a great point actually. Let's say Jaden Smith decided to become a stand-up comic and he did a gig a white trailer park.....would he still have more licence to mock the racial traits of white people despite never knowing what's like to not be a millionaire...just because his great...

    Twitter: Being black and fat trumps being gay and white

    You did claim that whether something is racist or not/less so, is based on the history of the culture/race someone was born into. I know the point you're making, it's the Stewart Lee "chinny" argument being made here... ..and whilst I like Mr Lee I still think it's a poor line of reasoning...

    Twitter: Being black and fat trumps being gay and white

    Which is a utterly ridiculous line of reasoning.

    It's not that simple. A healthy childless man earning £28k is taking less from society than a man with an lifelong medical condition earning £38k with two kids is.

    Twitter: Being black and fat trumps being gay and white

    I don't 100% disagree, my question is why tweets like this from Miller are allowed to stand also... no images with swearing in them please!

    How did they meet their partner? I mean dating, falling in love, marrying then having children with someone takes more than a few months right? It takes longer than a holiday visa that's for sure, unless you're the type of person who delights in going on Jeremy Kyle. In other words the British...

    Twitter: Being black and fat trumps being gay and white

    Let's get one thing straight, whilst I appreciate his laying down of truth bombs on Feminazis, my overall world view is different (to say the least) to Milo Yiannopoulos', yet I can't disagree more with his permanent ban from Twitter given the exchange...

    Brexit thread - what happens next

    Eh? Are you suggesting that non-EU migrants are somehow holding off despite being able to pass current criteria because they feel bad about coming when others have free movement? In other words, why would non-EU migration go up if we restricted free movement for EU nationals?
