Estonia sounds quite enlightened - I guess that'll be why the British Nationalists wish to dissociate us from it.

lol scotish-guy, you may be right. But isn't it mainly Polaks and Romanians who get most of the wrath of anti EU nationalists in UK
Almost seems Brexit was about getting rid of Polish plumbers, and Romanian construction workers. "Take Back Control Of Those Shovels And Pliers!!"
Indeed - the whole Brexit malarkey is very significantly influenced by xenophobia at best and naked racism at worst and if it wasn't the Poles and Romanians being targeted it would simply be some other European nationality.
As I've said before - not all Brexiteers are racists and xenophobes but you can be damn sure all racists and xenophobes are Brexiteers.
An assertion with no basis in factQuote:

Therefore, if you criticise me for making a 'baseless assertion' with which you disagree, please take the opportunity of displaying your superiority in the area of political analysis, and completely blow my assertion out of the water - by pointing to facts which prove otherwise.
I don't need to do any such thing. You are the one asserting "you can be damn sure all racists and xenophobes are Brexiteers". I'm merely saying you can produce no evidence that "all racists and xenophobes are Brexiteers" because none exists. Opinions have nothing to with it, unless by some perverse use of the Scottish language asserting an opinion as a fact qualifiesQuote:

Glad we cleared that up.
So you want me to prove a negative?Quote:

That's (as you say) "assertion" - how ironic!Quote:

I welcome your admission that you're a racist and xenophobe though.
The only sad part is that you appear to think that because you (allegedly) target your racism and xenophobia to one particular group it makes it perfectly OK. I decline to accept that as well.
If I had posted about the Jews in the terms that you have just posted about the Scots: that I "loathed" the Jews and wished them all to "drown", you'd be screaming to Moses (again) about "grossly offensive anti-Semitic posts"
Funny old world isn't it ?
Scream, Scream?
