Labour MPs in the north of England are afraid to make the case against [b]incase their voters turn against them.[/b] Its pathetic. See Andy Burnham playing the race card in the manchester mayoral elections.

* Coz if they thought that leaving the EU would mean the hated ****stanis living in Rotherham would be expelled then [b]they deserve to be called thick[/b]

Labour voters and Thick racists... strange old correlation that one 😉

As for the BS that this is a Tory issue

No, you're right, the Tories totally have nothing to do with this.

So next step would have been to present a coherent leave policy to Parliament outlining what was being proposed and the impacts of various outcomes (can't be that hard as you tell us thm that you have a full set) presented an economic assessment and budget and voted on that with a number of safeguards in place for when it turned really bad.

And yes it is a tory issue, they proposed it, they delivered it and now they are running it.

"It follows that the prime minister should not be blocked from starting the article 50 negotiations."
Unless and until the people of the country decide that Brexit is not for them,at which point the farce should stop. Plus the remoaners are democratically entitled to keep pointing out, as you have thm, that Brexit is a really bad idea.

I wouldn’t expect you to remember what the Tory government and PM campaigned for cougar. So don’t worry. It’s not just Brexshiteers who distort the truth.

I have already posted a gov note on next steps and the various expected outcomes - to which we got the reply, “can’t be bothered to read 87 pages”. And yet no one is calling for those who don’t want to understand to be excluded from voting.

Should have been done before the referendum was offered,

although you could argue project fear attempted that but hey how with the leave side running better advertising.

remember Goves we’ve had enough of experts line and lately DD’s hating of models.

Or Scottish, Irish, Polish or even had a different skin tone. I assume your just trying lame quips to try and make a point but time to get back to the real issues here.

@tj there are many people who are smart who are racist - doesn't make racism smart or any less stupid. There are also a number of very smart people doing the manipulation of people to use race to create division for their own means.

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-42297430
and more enemies of the people fighting the undemocratic parliament...

A cross-party group of MPs says the promise of a "meaningful vote" for Parliament on any Brexit deal should be enshrined in the EU Withdrawal Bill.
Former Conservative attorney-general Dominic Grieve will table such an amendment to the bill later this week.
The All-Party Parliamentary Group on EU Relations supports the move, urging backbenchers to put "the national interest" above party politics.
The amendment will be debated in the House of Commons on Tuesday.

Who would have thought that having an option to reign in the one party driving Brexit would be a good thing

I've had "Oi, JOCK!!!" in London more times than I can count. And been told my money was scrap (or worse) far too often. Curiously, only in certain English cities, go figure.

So casual xenophobia is endemic, and no indication of mental prowess 🙂

Free trade deals you say?

Had the outcome been to remain, we would have expected the result to be honoured, and that cuts both ways.

Which is frankly BS, we all know that if leave had lost it would not have shut up and "respected" the result.

So why expect remainers to shut up?

Is wrong - as usual - both in the intention of the insult and amusingly in fact since both are Scotophiles. Still 99% wrong TJ, well done.

Edinburgh has a huge number of english folk living in it

Indeed some even own multiple properties pushing up prices for low income Scots increasing homelessness in the capital so that they have homeless people living on their doorstep. Then they deal with their sense of guilt by offering the poor a coffee and a sandwich and publicise their "generosity" for a pat on the back ?!? What spirit??

No metalheart - but more obvious who is behaving like a dick and the apologists for racism. The next thing will be posting racist cartoons like other tag team members. True colours coming out loud and clear

Just as a point of discussion, does posting a picture of something racist make you a racist? If I post a picture of Zwaart Piet and say "this is a thing that happens in Holland", does that make me a racist?

THM - you DID get warned / banned for racist anti scots slurs. One you repeated many times.

You could be a man and admit your actions and apologise. Or you could keep on making false statements about this. I can't quote the posts because they were removed but it is true this happened and many of us remember.

so will you admit that you used racist pejorative terms about scots or will you continue in your denial?

You could put your kilfille back on and save a lot of lies and wasted time. Or you can keep lying about me being racist and hating Scotland and accusing my son - who you have never met and about whom you know no detail - of being racist too. Those of the typical actions of Internet bullies. You decide if you want to continue on those lines "again"

Back to the EU now for the rest of us.

I'm really disappointed about mini-THM being 'racially abused' in Edinburgh.
I lived in Edinburgh as a student for four years and still visit 5 - 6 times a year. In all the time I have spent in the city I have never had any hassle because of my (admittedly Northern) English accent. I must just be lucky...

Oh yes - yours and mine experiences are by far and away the majority view. anti english racism exists but overt anti english statements? Very rare which is why its not a huge leap to think that THM junior might have been behaving like his father thus triggering the event.

On human rights I have seen no mainstream commentators looking at the issue that the european convention on human rights is incorporated into Scots law and cannot be changed without the consent of holyrood which will not be given. So Scotland will still have the ECHR as an overiding legal recourse. Anyone / thing operating UK wide will still be subject to the ECHR and any law passed by Westminster that breaches it but is supposed to act UK wide will be in breach of scots law

The UK's Brexit negotiator David Davis has described the deal struck by Theresa May to move to the next phase of talks as a "statement of intent".

He said it was not "legally enforceable" and if the UK failed to get a trade deal with the EU then it would not pay its divorce bill.

Now thats really going to play well in Brussels. Could anything be more effective in making the EU negotiators harden their stance and to ensure there is a legal committment before trade talks start?

And he spelled out the kind of trade deal he wanted with the EU, describing it as "Canada plus plus plus".

Fantasy land. this is already ruled out.

Mini-whoevers pick up behaviour from their parents, peers, schooling and society in general.

Someone I know was punched in the face for acidentally spilling a tiny volume of beer on someone in a pub when jostled. I'm sure that had he never apologised he wouldn't have been punched. The problem was that the apology was dleivered with an accent that goes down very well with affluent Solent racing types and not so well elsewhere. It had nothing to do with racism and a lot do do with Britain's class problem.

Mike I made specific reference to a racist cartoon - my parents cames to the UK just before I was born but my brother was born in Zambia. He was a banker for part of his life but did not wear stereotypical clothing nor does he have large lips as portrayed - and to racist apologists on previous pages. They are easy to read unless you are an apologist too. Your choice.

Our current Conservative Prime Minister has said that she wants us to pull out of the ECHR.

We can't pull out of the ECHR while being members of the EU.

The EU will want to make any deal that gives us a "close relationship" dependent on ECHR.

sorry TJ just still trying to get to the bottom of the accusations levelled at somebody. Seems THM doesn't want to tell us, we should all appreciate how thick we are not to have worked it out by now.

Brexit is about removing all the things that have stopped the UK being great like beating prisoners, stopping democracy, poisoning beaches and rivers. You know all the things Germany struggled through to be a nation returning a surplus despite all of that and being part of the Euro.

Still after last week, must be tough being a remoaner so struggling with the truth is understandable
