    I can't wait to get my EU flag to put in the garden after Brexit, along with my spanking new EU passport to go with my EU citizenship. Should rile the Kippers in my street right up.

    Of course, bit hypocritical of them, as they'll all be begging for an EU passport too. But there you go. Nationalism is very silly.

    We should not label people as working class and then expect that they should not vote Conservative because of that. Individuals can make decisions on their own without needing to be labelled as working class and shamed into voting against what their conscience, opinion and logic dictates. I'm sure there are working class Conservative voters out there, I would probably like to class myself as one. I come from a working class background, I wasn't brought up in South Wales but did live there for 4 years.

    That which the Conservatives in the past did that you disagree with should not preclude you from voting for a cause you agree with in the present simply because of where you were brought up, your socio-economic background or the history of the political party. It's completely irrational and tribal.

    I can just about imagine employing one of those three attributes and coming up with a vote for the Tories, but all three?

    I think gfplux's point is that Luxembourg doing illegal sweetheart deals with corporations is the legitimate action for a nation that has a "huge financial services industry" but if a corporation moves its affairs to the UK with competitively priced tax law then its because we're akin to a "shady tax haven" ��.

    Merely compounds the theory that the EU is a club where the people that benefit wish to remain members. Every one to themselves. Ignore the rules when it suits.

    Do you realise what state the NHS is in.....the state of Social Care, the state of so many of our local services..the lack of housing.............don't you care about these things....student debt....household debt etc. All these austerity measures have been introduced.....meanwhile the deficit has grown and is now circa 90 billion! Yep they should be ecstatic!:j.............and by the way immigration keeps on growing....what happened to that promise I wonder. You'd slam Labour with that record but the tories get away with it.:mad:

    And a regular house costs a million pounds but Moby and Toastie want to invite million people more into the uk.....so we all end up living in a tent?

    More Metropolitan, Liberal Elite Crap - Muswell Hill is like Richmond Park - full to the brim with Britain's Richest white people....
    London gift shop "Really British" branded ‘racist’ for selling British-themed goods
    He said that he had had shoppers from a number of nationalities visiting the store, but said that the only ones who suggested he was racist were British. “It’s almost the reverse of racism,” he said.

    This is actually a form of snobbery. (Read Chavs). The working classes are seen as being patriotic - so the rich reject patriotism.
