July 7, 20186 yr Well, one reason is that this forum is hardly a representative sample - if it were, then there would be as many Leavers posting here as Remainers. Also there would be as many Mail readers as Guardian ones. What would be the point in saying it when I don't believe that anyone here would think me sincere? However, if I will make you feel better : I condemn anyone on the violent political extremes, whether extreme Right wing or Left. So you admit it was 50/50. Then what makes you so sure ignoring only the leave side would result in violence? What you are implicitly saying is that the right are more prone to violence.
July 7, 20186 yr Author So you admit it was 50/50. Then what makes you so sure ignoring only the leave side would result in violence? What you are implicitly saying is that the right are more prone to violence. well, 13 to 12 would be the closest ratio that reflects the actual result, but as I pointed out, members of this forum, and Buzzjack as a whole, are not a representative sample of the population as a whole.
July 7, 20186 yr Well, because I'm not a violent racist seems a good place to start. But you’re assuming typical brexiters aren’t either. What if you’re stance is the atypical one for a leaver?

We can all go to bed happy now!! :cheer:

But voters do not vote for extreme-right parties like the BNP, NF, etc in significant numbers - which they surely would if they were as racist as is claimed by a few of the more ardent Remainers.

Err, no. Simplistic. One can be left-wing and racist. One can be racist and still hold political views that aren't one-policy blatant racist. One can be selectively racist. One can be in denial about's one racism.
