O'Kelly Isley III Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I don't disagree with any of this. It's a good post. Just pointing out that Flints constituency voted 69% leave so she's clearly going to try and respect their wishes. That's what politicians have always done.GD, is just getting angry and name calling again.Flint and her Iike have neither the wit or wisdom to appreciate that what is shortly about to unfold will cast a die for generations to come. Rather than do the right thing and communicate to her electorate that the majority who voted Leave are wrong and more importantly WHY they are wrong she cravenly shits the contract. God help us when the good folk of Doncaster get the idea to restore the Death Penalty, reverse the 1967 Abortion Act or overturn Equality legislation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how they RANDOMLY insert capitalised words into EVERY headline. Just for yet MORE sensationalism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll guarantee that all these 3 things were in the minds of the rabid Brexiteers and the right-wing press when the UK voted to leave. Maybe they still are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Express has always been the worst IMHO. I know the Mail can be OTT but it also has a decent record in non-EU related investigative journalism - something you couldn't say the Express does these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tirso Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 It really shouldn't be though - Doncaster's non-British population is only around 2.5% of the overall population with a further 1.6% of South Asian origin. If it has it's down to it being an old coal mining area where traditional jobs weren't replaced and some have used immigration as a scapegoat for failings by politicians. To put it into perspective Scotland's foreign-born population is around 3.78% with Dundee (my home city) being 5.84% - immigration really shouldn't be used as an excuse. The point is they don't want the demographic to change. Not that it has done...This thing about "they've got no immigrants though" gets brought up all the time but it misses the point. Same as Hungary. They don't want their cities to be like Marseille or Bradford. They prefer, on balance, a homogenous society.PS I don't agree with their view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tirso Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 So which Brexit option did Flint’s constituents support? Hard Brexit? May’s deal? Norway style? Also please post the source showing that immigration was the biggest reason; I’ve not seen that.Of course immigration was one of the main concerns. It's not rocket science. Everyone knew at the time that was a huge factor. Surely you don't need that spoon fed.Again the same point. They voted for some form of brexit. The only thing they didn't vote for was to stay in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should read my post; I never suggested that immigration wasn’t a factor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 The Tories taking Labour for mugs with an offer of a 'confirmatory referendum'.....basically taking May's deal and offering people a yes or no choice. That's not the 2nd referendum that the vast majority of Labour members want. Many people will be appalled if Corbyn's obvious hostility to the EU is used to help push through a Tory Brexit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Some of those Labour MPs who have written to Corbyn opposing a second public vote could be classed as his political allies; yet there’s a bigger smattering of people who were publically condemning him as an anti-Semite just a couple of months ago. Could they possibly have a different agenda? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
