    What you are seeing now is the polar opposite on the behavior spectrum from the “Political Correctness” that so many people feel they have been tied down by and have been complaining about for years.

    Up until last week many people often wanted to say what they “really felt” but we’re not allowed to (or felt vaguely ashamed to). Now they’ve been given a green light to “take Britain back” and they interpret that to mean that absolutely anything goes. I fear the flood gates may have been opened and it’s going to take some work to close them again.

    On the plus side, you may get to learn things about family, friends and neighbours that you didn’t know previously.

    Sad days indeed.

    You are quite right and sometimes PC has gone a bit too far.

    On the other hand some of these people just like being pissed early in the morning on a Manchester tram.

    bollocks, if anything political correctness has prevented racists from being called racists, because apparently exposing their racist views to the world upsets the poor little dears.

    And therein lies the problem for many of those who voted Remain…like a laser pinging between two mirrors for eternity. 😆

    Not sure what this means?

    I’m suggesting that the people who feel they have been repressed by “PC rules” no longer feel repressed and they are speaking their minds. They were always “dinner party racists”, just not out loud.

    ooooh handbags, I think you’re calling me out. Sorry chump but your logic is worse than your spelling.

    I voted leave because I believe in democracy but judging by the pathetic attempts to overrule the outcome by some remainers they clearly don’t share my views. But I care not because they lost.

    I is confused.

    How is voting to leave a cross border political union racist?

    I don’t think I ever heard so much crap spouted on here and that is saying something.

    Spoke to the boss of our local Turkish barbers yesterday and told him that I was glad he was here – small things

    I think THM wins the interweb with that post.
    Shirley he can’t be serious?

    Why would he give a flying **** that some patronising middle class bloke “is glad he was here”?

    Why are glad he’s here? So you can get a shave done by someone earning minimum wage?

    Besides he’s Turkish, what has that go to do with the UK leaving the EU?

    I voted out.

    I am not a racist.

    I work for a multi national company with a large European presence.

    Currently on an overseas project with 6 or 7 different nationalities. Majority of whom have congratulated the UK on leaving the EU.

    It’s not really about “Johnny Foreigner”.

    Go back to your Guardian’s and leave the rest of us who can be bothered to get on with earning a living anywhere in the World we want to.

    Clearly

    Why would he give a flying **** that some patronising middle class bloke “is glad he was here”?

    Try watching news at ten and you might understand. Plus he shook my hand, smiled and said thank you. He could have been taking the piss mind. What do you reckon?

    Why are glad he’s here? So you can get a shave done by someone earning minimum wage?

    Because (1) I believe in the freedom of movement; (2) I am neither xenophobic nor racist; (3) the haircut and wet shave is “head and shoulders” above any of the competition; (4) he and his colleagues are nice guys – is that enough for you?

    Besides he’s Turkish, what has that go to do with the UK leaving the EU?

    Somebody told me there were a load more coming – the advance party have done a good job, so no need to worry

    It’s not really about “Johnny Foreigner”.

    Of course, who mentioned him. It was about #fakecontrol wasn’t it?

    Ah freedom of movement – how very apt. Its a good idea isnt it?

    Nobody said you were & there’s no need to mock.

    What has been said & I think is difficult to argue with is that there will be racists who will be encouraged to speak & act on those beliefs with more vigour than they may have ever mustered before.

    That would certainly impact on my choice of vote as it did, one of a number of things that influenced my choice to vote Remain.

    What have any of those reasons got to do with being in or out of the EU?

    As you ask, I reckon he was thinking “smug twunt”.

    Ah freedom of movement – how very apt. Its a good idea isn’t it?

    It is. I travel and work all over the World. Never had much of a problem getting into foreign countries, apart from an occasional queue at immigration. Sometimes in shorter queues in non-EU than in EU airports. Sometimes I have to apply for a visa in advance. Not an issue really.

    Just in case you weren’t aware – it’s not about *visiting* different countries, it’s about *living and working* in them. When your current job won’t send you to them.

    Hmm, freedom of movement and the EU. Give me a while……..it will come to me.

    I also travel and work all over the world and would hate to restrict such opportunities to others. That would be….

    As above I don’t have a problem in gaining entry to work in other Countries, might have to go through some process to get there, so what?

    Although I live in the UK, I know and work with a lot of people who live in Countries other than the ones they were born in.

    So are you advocating complete Global freedom of movement? No borders, no visas, no passports? A Global “Schengan”? or just for the Countries we like?

    Now that is a puzzler.

    Your mistake is assuming that because those people have moved from their country to this, that means that everyone from any country can move to this one.

    I’ve actually looked into this, and freedom of movement is NOT open to everyone from outside the EU. People need a way in – and the ways are specific to their situations. I’ve known three Americans living in the UK – they all married Brits. They couldn’t just come over.

    EU freedom of movement on the other hand allows EU citizens to just travel and look for work in your *choice* of EU country.

    You do realise that being against the scum who abuse people who aren’t white English isn’t exclusive to Remain voters, enfht? You are also allowed to feel that way if you voted Leave. However if you support such people then that would make earlier character assessments accurate.
