and all he stands for. I seriously cannot believe there are genuine people on this forum who appear to think otherwise.

Maddyone it's not ME who's stirring up trouble so don't try that one !!

maddyone Thu 11-Jul-19 19:11:50

No Ellan, it didn’t slip my mind, I mentioned it in my post. Stop trying to stir up trouble.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 11-Jul-19 18:03:20

Did you read Boris’s article in full EV?

GrannyGravy13 Thu 11-Jul-19 18:02:17

EV myself and Urmstongran have given our explanation for our leave vote multiple times on multiple threads.

Lessismore Thu 11-Jul-19 17:50:05

blinkers? or hijab?

EllanVannin Thu 11-Jul-19 17:47:04

Lessismore I mentioned the incitement because of your remark about TR stirring things up for Islam.

It works both ways so take your blinkers off.

Lessismore Thu 11-Jul-19 17:46:04

Ah yes, many puppets and fools about.

Labaik Thu 11-Jul-19 17:44:55

TR is now [failed] UKIP. Farage was UKIP but somehow managed to un UKIP himself using TR as some sort of scapegoat to show that the new Brexit Party isn't as right wing as UKIP. Lessi; hat I meant was that some people somewhere are gleefully pulling strings and watching this happen.

Lessismore Thu 11-Jul-19 17:43:43

What a strange conundrum you are EV......unless of course , there is more than one of you.

EllanVannin Thu 11-Jul-19 17:43:18

There has never been a truthful answer from those who voted leave. Why do you want to leave the EU ??

Maddyone, perhaps it slipped your memory that BJ once mentioned " letterboxes " when referring to Muslims ?

Bridgeit Thu 11-Jul-19 17:40:37

The real reason TR is called vile, . ? Well that’s easily explained , it is because he IS vile , his opinions ARE vile they are expressed in a vile Manner & he insights other to be Vile , that kinda off equates to VILE in my book.

EllanVannin Thu 11-Jul-19 17:38:15

Who started all this hatred between nations ? None other than the British media along with the lies published in tabloid newspapers. Sensationalism and scaremongering about threats posed by Muslims is widespread courtesy of the Sun, Star and Daily Mail. It's the inaccuracies that cause/create real world consequences.

Maybe our press/media need strict regulations, a front page apology and/or a hefty financial penalty.

Lessismore Thu 11-Jul-19 17:24:04

well said maddy.

maddyone Thu 11-Jul-19 17:21:03

I voted remain actually, but I know many people who voted leave, and just as as GrannyGravy says, none of them are TR supporters.

maddyone Thu 11-Jul-19 17:19:24

I’m sorry but, love them or hate them, I think it is absurd to put Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage in the same category as TR. What crimes have they committed? It is perfectly lawful to wish to leave the EU. BJ spoke inadvisability when he made the comment about letter boxes, but to equate them with TR is ridiculous.

Lessismore Thu 11-Jul-19 17:17:56

I am totally confused now, who is inciting hatred towards the armed forces?

GrannyGravy13 Thu 11-Jul-19 17:16:35

EllanVannin I do not know anyone who voted leave that supports YL??

EllanVannin Thu 11-Jul-19 17:15:40

Neither is inciting hatred towards our armed forces, Lessismore.

It's now become a chicken and egg situation.

Lessismore Thu 11-Jul-19 17:15:30

Sorrry Labaik, I don't follow?

Labaik Thu 11-Jul-19 17:12:29

Somebody, somewhere needs that, Lessi….

Lessismore Thu 11-Jul-19 17:08:20

Ok.....some Muslims did some terrible , terrible things. Some police acted in a poor way.

Do we need a convicted criminal and a hater of Islam stirring things up?

maddyone Thu 11-Jul-19 17:01:30

That was about LadyGracie’s post, I only read the first page. I shall now carry on and read the rest of the thread.

maddyone Thu 11-Jul-19 16:59:10

I know of no case where a murderer has got a less than nine months sentence. I thought the mandatory sentence for murder was 20 years, and sometimes more depending on the case.

Joelsnan Thu 11-Jul-19 16:55:13

Lessismore
Using abuse victims to stir up anti Muslim feeling and potentially ruin a court case is not admirable

I think the anti feelings are directed towards the abusers. I think just like you and I the majority of society do not blame all Muslims, however there are some enclaves where this abuse has been carried out for decades (still happening by all accounts) and the fact that their specific community has not dealt with it using their internal processes is concerning.

EllanVannin Thu 11-Jul-19 16:45:55

Changed your minds yet, all you Brexiteers ?
