Anna Soubry

Anti semetism, rape and murder threats started before the referendum, it started when Corbyn became leader

Is that in reference to a post, or d'you just like writing the word?

By the way, does anyone know when Anna Soubry changed her mind about the eu.
Back in 2011 her opinion of them was the same as most leavers?

I had to take a taxi from my Mum's house to the station yesterday (I usually take the bus but I needed to get home earlier and the buses are few and far between).

The taxi driver deluged me with his opinions - Colchester was now full of "rubbish" moved out from London by councils, London has changed so much - full of foreigners, crooks and drug dealers, the EU is a waste of time, Britain was great once and will be again once we leave the EU, the EU is scared stiff that we are leaving, they won't manage without us, etc, etc, etc. I had not initiated this torrent and tried my best, in as polite a way as possible, to question many of his contentions but he was definitely on a roll.

I am not an ardent remainer - there are many things about the EU that I don't like - but I voted to stay as I didn't trust the alternative and many of the people who were putting it forward. The sense of superiority and general apparent dislike of humanity that people like this taxi driver display make me even more concerned that such haughtiness and complacency is in danger of leading this country into the wilderness.

Oh dear Eloethan I wonder if he does that with all his passengers!

I hope he took you to your destination and didn't dump you in the wilderness if you disagreed with him!

I also had a taxi driver going on in this way all the way to MAN airport. I think he wanted to get into a 'Hate foreigners' discussion and that I would enjoy the discussion and perhaps give him a big tip.
When he realised that I was not against foreigners at all, actually I live abroad and am a foreigner there myself

He soon changed the subject.

Am A retired primary teacher. Social media, the press and our so called politicians all incapable of polite intellectual discussion, no one listens just shout and speak above each other. Reminds me of a children’s playground. Sorry didn’t mean that as it was an insult to the many children it was a privilege for me to teach. Our so called elite need to look to the youth of the country and maybe learn something. Manners would be a good start.

Oh that’s just taxi drivers they always have a beef about anything and everything.

Must be London cabbies, the ones round here have very poor English so we don't talk much.

Maybe Anna Soubry changed her mind about the EU when Johnson changed his....

Nonnie He wasn't a London taxi driver. He lived a few miles from Colchester but saw himself as an expert on all things London - in fact on all things full stop.

Eloethan I wasn't being serious note the

We were told by a taxi driver shortly after the referendum that he'd no idea what the EU was but he watched the Eurovision Song Contest and decided to vote leave because these bloody foreigners didn't vote for us.

Apparently there is evidence that the hecklers who "harassed" Anna Soubry was all a set up.She knew them and knew when they were going to do it .
I wouldn't be surprised if it were true ...

Do share the 'evidence' with us, paddyann

Please do, paddyann. I've googled and I can't find anything.

Probably fake news.

That's why I'd like to know the source, varian

Yes; I'd like to know, too. Mind you, as one of them has been arrested and bailed, I'm sure it will come out in court.

Was the second demo when he was arrested arranged to paddyanne?

Actually paddyann you could be right - maybe there is something in what you say as, even at the time of the heckling outside the HoC, Ms. Soubry was smiling at the TV Sky cameras as she walked in! She certainly didn’t look upset. I remember commenting on this to my husband that day.

At last!! It's coming out. I have said anything because I think some of you know why
It's all on film. If you look at the film you will see one of the 'main' hecklers, he crosses from the right walking towards ASs 'press man, Sean somebody.

This heckler puts his right hand inside 'Sean's' coat and quickly backs off.
It's on Facebook under Sky news, I think.

I've just watched again. It's not under sky news, it is under BBC East Midlans news 7th Jan.
Sean has a scarf on with a press tag round his neck.

Sorry, this episode is not currently available
would you believe it petra!

I have said anything because I think some of you know why

Oh dear.

What about those not in the clique?

Are you saying in your post Anna Soubry 'staged' the whole affair?

What would be the purpose of that if not to make Leavers look like bullies to make a political point?
