YER could we agree that some Leave voters are xenophobic?
And that's some of the rethorics going round atm are all about xenophobia?
And that some of the decisions from the government are feeding these rethorics?
By that I mean, the 'ready to leave' letters to people who don't comply with the PRC? Is that not feeding the idea that foreigners aren't welcome and WILL be deported even though they are legally staying in the uk?
Or the fact that said PRC specifically specify that the card should be taken with you at all time. Is that not feeding the idea that EU citizens aren't and shouldn't be just welcome, even if they have lived here for several years, have lived here legally and contributed to the country in various ways for all those years?
In my view, the current government is feeding the xenophobic sentiment VERY well.
This is the same government who has told the remoaners that they should stop being against Brexit because (her idea of) bresit WILL go ahead regardless and they have to go behind her.
That means that people like you, who might not have wanted the xenophobic attudes, are supposed to be behind her, behind those measures, even more so than remoaners as you have voted to leave the EU.
You can't say at the same time that remoaners should stop complaining and that the majority has spoken AND say that actually this is not what you wanted.
You can't say that you voted Leave but didn't voted for the red bus or the xenophobic comments. Your vote for Brexit didn't specify that. Your Brexit vite said YES to ALL the rethorics for Brexit becaus eits impossible to separate the votes of those who want xenophobia dnthoae who don't. Just as it is impossible to separate those who wanted a solution Brexit and those who wanted a hard Brexit.
And yes it si crap and not reflecting accurately the wishes of the population, but that was the tool.
It IS crap to be brushed under the same brush as people who are xenophobes.
It is also very hard to brush under the same brush than illegal immigrants or those who have 'overused' the system (e.g. Those who have come here with no intention of working, which are very very few) and be told to go back home. To be seeing second class citizens worth nothing. That we only good enough to be bargaining chips and that the effect it has on your life's, the life's of 3 millions people actually don't really matter. We can just used them in our little political games. So it's ok to terrify us because then TM is more likely to get whatever she wants.
Btw, re the word terrorists and open borders meaning that more of them can come in.
Do you mean that terrorists are more likely to be European? Because, as far as I know, the last terrorists attacks were done by British citizens.
Are you talking about the IRA and the like? Because those people are British too.
Who are those terrorists that are more likely to come over because of the open borders???
