Sickens me to the core, but we're too far down the rabbithole now. Brexit was just the start. I don't give a fuck what anyone says in retrospect, every single Leave voter I spoke to in 2016 said it was about kicking out Muslims/Africans/Asians - and the people who thrive by generating all that hate are likely going to be in Government in a few years.

Seriously stop. You’re a fkin embarrassment

I'm assuming you didn't speak to many then.....although Mrs Sweep has an Auntie, who 100% voted to get rid of brown folk (the irony being that she now goes on Pro-Palestinian marches, the fucking leaching scum bag that she is)

Whilst I'm sure many of them were thick owd racists, not all of them were racist, or owd for that matter. A few of them probably weren't actually thick either, just misguided/misinformed

You are correct though that things do seem to have got worse since Brexit, and they are getting progressively worse. Maybe it will take Reform getting into power, to see how bad things can really become.

I didn't mention 'old' or 'thick'. I spoke to plenty of folk of varying ages. Work colleagues, friends, family, friends of friends, strangers in pubs - all over the country as I was working away a lot at the time. I've mentioned it on here before, but I remember being sat in a beer garden the day before the referendum with my old man and about 20 other blokes, and every single one of them said they were voting Leave to get rid of Muslims. I couldn't believe it either.

I presume you corrected them and told them that isn't how it works, in fact a vote for Brexit was always going to mean more came in from the sub-continent, not less.

it's a worry if what you're saying is true, and I'm sure they'll be the first to complain when Reform utterly fuck them over and bankrupt the country in a few years time. And it'll serve them right, the thick cunts.....and they'll no doubt still love Farage

I did indeed, but I was well outnumbered and logic didn't apply. Have you not been in any working class pubs recently?

So you’re happy to drink in working class pubs but only because it gives you a sense of intellectual superiority to the section of society you’ve previously claimed to be a part of?

You’re a strange one

Which bit are you doubting? Because it did happen, and I suspect the majority of Leave voters thought the same way at the time.

Every single one of them said that about Muslims. You heard them.

Yep. Every single one. Including my old man. It was slightly mind blowing.

Is it racist to want less improper migrants and think the spread of Islam isn't particularly a good idea?

Is it racist to have thought Brexit might have aided those issues?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

No. Thinking is a wonderful thing.

The electorate was sold a pup.

People genuinely thought if they voted brexit it would stave migration and halt the swell of Islam.

It was worth a shot to those voters.

Will be the same again for the next GE.

It's not the voters fault. It's the government's for not sorting the issues on the first place.

Those same voters will now be voting Remain in large numbers..... 

I imagine that will end up equally shite!
