Despite calls for it not to happen, Jo Cox's tragic death was politicised within the House of Commons on Monday, in favour of her stance of remaining within the EU.

There really are no depths that the racist wing of the Brexit camp will sink to.

The Cable Street thread has been pulled, censored since it was moved to Discussion Time.

Apparently if UKIP voting boomers don't feel they can go to Discussion Time then there isn't anywhere else on the internet for them to go.

Meanwhile:

AN OLD MAN HAS BEEN PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED BY A UKIP VOTING BOOMER FOR HANDING OUT REMAIN LEAFLETS

Just like the Scottish referendum, the thugs and bullies are out in force for the splitters.

It is bloody awful that this element is associated with the leave campaign. There definitely are some racist, xenophobic neanderthals who share my opinion to leave the EU, but absolutely NOT for the same reasons.

Maybe your side can explain the difference to them, because if they win they will assume you are in wholehearted agreement with their views.

And to be fair, so far I haven't seen anything from Remain that would give them the impression they have got the wrong idea.

I wish this surprised me.

No doubt some people will report your latest post.

Well I see the referendum as a vote of confidence or a vote of no confidence in the EU since the result isn't legally binding, it's just advisory.

If a vote to leave the EU, or a vote of no confidence in the EU is the result I don't see why this element of society needs to be told they're wrong any more than if the result was to Remain, surely in both scenarios they need to be chastised for their intolerance.

The opposite happened last GE



Leicester were 5000/1 last August. Still won though.

Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City and Tottenham were all quoted at 3/1 at some stage for the Premier League last season.

All lost though.

They do need to be chastised for their intolerance but they aren't being.

Possibly because the political party that is fronting leave, UKIP, and the main personalities for secession, Gove, Johnston and Farage, are knows as being just a wee bit intolerant themselves.

Is there somewhere a list of companies in favour of Brexit? I'm aware of Weatherspoon, Dyson, Phones4U, Reebok too I think. I just want to make sure I don't give them my money

I didn't vote for UKIP, I won't. We really ought to be honest with ourselves and everyone else. As a leave voter, I'm not voting for Boris, Farage, Gove or anyone else. To me the personalities are irrelevant, I do not consider them my representatives in any way shape or form. I don't consider Britain First or the BNP my representatives either for that matter.

It's entirely conceivable that there are extreme views held by some people who will vote to remain, there will be some who are racist, some who are homophobic and against LGBT rights. The referendum is not about these issues, it is not about racism or xenophobia but people are trying to make it about that. This is why I believe the result on Thursday will now be a Remain vote. Due to the fear of being stigmatised by those who want to Remain as a racist, white supremacist, xenophobe, little-englander, <insert derogatory term here>, ad infinitum.

If I had to peg my colours to a personality mast then I would say I align most closely with Daniel Hannan. I feel his arguments are sensible, pragmatic, positive and correct.

The fact that you feel the personalities of Farage, Boris, et al are people you cannot identify with should NOT dissuade you from voting to leave. We are not voting them into power, it's not a typical vote like a General Election, in that scenario I would completely agree because you are voting for people based on their beliefs and personalities.
