Bags if you can't read between the lines that a manifesto that, in essence, reads:
*keep the bloody foreigners out
*keep the bloody foreigners out
*keep the bloody foreigners out
*keep the bloody foreigners out
*keep the bloody foreigners out
is obviously in spirit, if not in its carefully chosen words, racist, then I do wonder...
It is true that many people had decided to vote Leave fairly early in the campaign, particularly men (this from talking to a lot of people over the course of the campaign). However Farage's evil stirring of xenophobia and racism, aided an abetted by certain sectors of the press, who viewed him as an absolute gift, played a big part in forming those opinions. Lets face it, without his stirring we would not have had a referendum and would not be in the gory mess we are now. (Not to mention the worse mess we will be for some years to come)
And as for the so-called "project fear" (a term coined, I think, by the silver tongued and tousle haired wordsmith BJ - is he a hero of yours?).... have you not noticed that the economic impact has already kicked in?
Or will you need to wait a few weeks to notice that nearly everything you buy has gone up in price (because the pound has fallen more sharply than it has done for decades and even UK produced goods will become more costly due to the increase in petrol and diesel prices).
George Osborne has been inflicting major pain on poor people for the last few years, partly in the cause of retaining out AAA rating. That's out the window now for the foreseeable future. And why does that matter? Well all major capital investments will now be on hold as they rely on the government being credit worthy enough to borrow money on the international market. We are now a dodgy credit risk. And while you might not care about major capital projects they do create much needed employment - sometimes in areas where this is badly needed.
This is the sort of thing that all those so called "scare-mongers" and "experts" were predicting and they were right.
