When i lived in London i was surrounded by these liberal types. They were oh so liberal but wouldn't let there kids knock about with "those black kids" or the ones from the " estates" My son went to school with there kids and was regularly shocked by there veiled racism and ignorance. He punched one of them for it and the parents threatened us with the old bill, I told the father that his son explained to my son, that he wasn't allowed by you to mix with blacks and chavs, he slammed the door on me

They sound more like Blairite centrists than genuine left wing liberals tbh.

They are remainers to a man and liberals. I never mentioned the left.

Guardianistas, faux liberals really, the very worst of the middle class.

A newspaper is an inanimate object.

Many Guardianistas do however seem exceedingly uncomfortable in the company of anyone who is ‘other’.

 

[redsquirrel]

As a cheerleader and subscriber to liberalism the Guardian is certainly sexist and racist. When it was cheering on the Tory/LD austerity cuts for example it showed it's racism/sexist - the effects of those cuts fall on disproportionally on women and ethnic minorities.

it is also a business

 

[teuchter]

No they sing the virtues of how liberal thay all are. I know them you don't.

Who is it that you know, exactly? All people in London that claim they are "liberals"? And they're all racists? And remainers? Therefore remainers are racists who pretend to be liberal, or something?

 

[sleaterkinney]

Fascist centrist dads making people vote for brexit.

Describes where you and me live perfectly, 79% faux-liberal racists.

What point were you making? Just that you met some arseholes whilst you lived in that London, I think.

You are being selective as well. I never said i met some arseholes when i lived in London.

Yes, well to the right of the daily mail, sun and express.

Pathetic. No one has made such a claim, but keep on avoiding the point.

After his pwning by Frank Lampard it's hard to image how o'brien ever managed to cling on to his broadcasting career

 

[MightyTibberton]

I'd never heard of him until last year. Now I have to google Frank Lampard and him. What strange days these are...

His whole career is marked by being wrong. Which is why Brexit seems like the right thing.

And for someone who was pushed through one of the poshest schools on the planet, he’s pretty fucking ignorant of even very simple aspects of the world around us, too wrapped up in his own bubble to take in what is happening under his nose.

I no longer listen to LBC due to his continued bleating about Brexit, before which he was bleating that Corbyn fans believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden. How did that condescending shite go for him? Oh, about the same as his support for the Iraq war I guess.

Chelsea were going into a massive champions league semi final vs Barcelona at the time, so Lampard calling into a chat show and succinctly defending himself against the commentariat and winning was fairly unprecedented.
Probably not up there with Rooney fucking the granny saga for lols, but it was all over the news at the time.

Well well well, that's an interesting story and fair play to Frank Lampard for defending himself like that. I read a transcript but haven't heard it.

I looked up Wikipedia on it and I guess you're not going to be too chuffed to learn that young James actually won a broadcasting award for that specific exchange!

It's a funny business this opinion journalism.

Latest country for us to be in relation to EU is Turkey! Bad luck Norway, Switzerland, Canada, Singapore Eric.

The Sky journalist, Faisal Islam spotted something in a taxation bill that would allow HMG to form a customs union much more easily than they can now.

I understand that Turkey is in a customs union with the EU without being in the actual customs union of the EU. And after that it all gets rather technical for me... Reportedly Ken Clarke thought it meant retaining the free trade agreements we currently have via the EU.

No mention of us being used as a scary monster to get other countries out though. 'GET OUT! 65 MILLION BRITS ARE COMING...'

It won't be enough for some on each side no doubt...

I see Boris Johnson is now joining in this growing narrative of “brexit may not happen because the nasty neoliberal elite are going all out to stop it” sort of thing. Well known arch remainers, Blair, Heseltine etc have always suggested brexit might not happen but now Farage & Johnson are jumping on the bandwagon. I don’t think leavers are going to be taking to the streets & burning things if leave does get watered down to remain in all but name so what is going on here? Is everybody starting to wish brexit would just go away?.. adjusts deckchair & opens another bag of popcorn...

 

[Yossarian]

I don't know if calling off Brexit is going to be on the table but at this point, the government probably sees a "soft versus hard" Brexit referendum as a more appealing prospect than, say, an election where different parties could offer different versions of Brexit to voters.

The different sides might be gearing up for it already, I saw this shared on Facebook a few days ago:

Do you know who UNITY are, Yossarian?
