    Yes, of course, actual facts and figures so far...

    Remind me again how much extra we're giving to the NHS post-Brexit?

    Oh, I remember now... "No extra money for NHS, Theresa May tells health chief"

    Please don't keep reminding us of how good the leave campaign was.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    Of course it is because the Brexiteers now know it was a blatant lie that was never going to happen and so are acutely embarrassed about the whole affair. Not surprisingly anyone caught by an embarrassing lie would prefer it was never mentioned ever again...

    Which of the Brexiteers could have made this supposed promise reality? Harping on about it shows little understanding of the situation.

    Don't quite know how to respond to that Clapton. Come again mate?

    The best way to respond to Clapton is not to respond at all.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Another great opportunity for British exporters.

    "Economists have warned sterling is likely to plunge to a new record low once Prime Minister Theresa May starts the official proceeding to leave the EU."

    But remember Economists are experts.

    Or for people to visit the UK and spend their money Which is far more beneficial. Than a global corporation simply selling more.

    He's run out of actual argument so trying to imply Remainers are racist, because he thinks the EU is a construct to hurt black africans, and that's the only reason he wanted to leave, because he's so not racist.
    Thanks for the translation....I must admit I was struggling....especially with the 'discriminating against black Africans' bit:eek:
    Perhaps in some twisted warped way Clapton thinks the best line of defence re. the charge of little Englander bigotry against brexiteers is to attack remainers in the same manner. As I've said I wouldn't have thought the actual evidence would back Clapton up on that charge. Fear of immigration was clearly the energy behind the Brexiteer victory.....and as I said the obviously bigotted Farage, Trump, Rahim Kassam, Fox, Davis, Gove, Johnston etc were not on the remain side....and all the bigotry and racism seems to be directed at Polish people at present....while the Brexiteers seem to take umbrage at being described as a bit dim for what they've done. This is how we are beginning to be seen abroad:-

    The EU is clearly and obviously an exclusive white christian club: you can deny that if you will but its a clear demonstrable fact.
    The harm that the EU agriculatural policies have done to undeveloped Black African is well discussed and documented although many 'remainers' and too ignorant and too racist to know or care.
    You can check it out if you have a mind to do so.

    As you are clearly a bit limited intellectually, I would point out that it doesn't follow that the EU was designed to discriminate against black africa but it so happens it does now (if you did the equivalent 'accidental' racism in the UK, it would be illegal).
    Also it doesn't follow that its the only or main reason I want to leave. However, if I were a member of a club that racial discriminated against black people, I would wish to leave.

    who cares what america makes up about brexit voters..i dont .

    Dont you think we should have control on immigration when unemployment and zero contracts are so high..
    remember benefits street ? there was a big up roar to get people back to work and thats not going to happen with uncontrolled EU immigration.
    calling brexiteers racist is a bit childish ..nothing wrong being proud of your own country.
    remember when gordon brown called that women a bigot and he looked stupid..carry on remoaners
