The OP has certainly opened a debate (they didn't want to open a debate)!? about the leave/remain question on the forum on the 1st October and not been on here since 8th October.


Maybe they are too tired after distributing leaflets and going on a march.

you have the temerity, the absolute arsiness, to ask what the matter is with me, do you?

if you play the race card, then come on, at least have the guts to play it through to the end, don't try and duck out, like a lily-livered nincompoop, you prat!

I didn?t think it was possible for to make yourself look like more of an idiot over this Keano, but well done, you?ve managed to!


Shame you?ve got so little self-awareness that you don?t understand how stupid you?ve been, but I guess back in your day people could take a joke and knew their place, eh?

What is the ethnic makeup of the UK as a whole and how does this compare with the Peoples Vote march. I think you might find it's very similar to be honest. The Peoples Vote march was a UK wide march held in London.


White British is 87% of the UK population.

Edit: When you have a subsection of the population as big as 700,000+ then it begins to approximate the real population makeup I'd say (not a statistics guy)

As ever, haters gonna hate. You can imagine the sneering Brexiter remarks had there been a disproportionately high number of 'non-white' faces, Londonistan etc. As John says, it was representative of the country as a whole, groups from Orkney to Cornwall came, all-inclusive, all getting along, all having a good time. It's quite clear the Brixiters are rattled by the huge numbers that showed up, it's a game changer, well done everyone who went, it was a fantastic day...

If parliament votes against Theresa May's deal and we are left in no-mans land with parliament not wanting no deal then maybe, maybe not.


I don't know where we're headed, May might be gone in a week, it's all volatile.

I'm still on the fence over that :)


Theresa May today was supposed to have said ?None of this is about me. It?s all about you.? other reports say the quote was "Brexit talks are not about me or my personal fortunes" either way she's feeling the pressure..

Notice Chris Grayling puts party before country in the below quote ...


"One of Theresa May?s key allies has called on Conservative MPs to show ?calm, level heads? on Brexit during a potentially treacherous political week for the prime minister, insisting that a deal acceptable to a majority of the party is still possible."

There was a leadership vote, May won, the party needs to respect the vote and the will of the party membership.

How dare they think they can change their mind, they're nothing but enemies of the party, quislings, a betrayal of democracy!...

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
