Brexited

[evo]

Who would probably do better under Labour but can't reconcile their situation and are easily exploited by the xenophobes/Daily Mail.

Been fluctuating but increasing since the mid-80s. Bleeding votes from the xenophobic/ nationalist working class flank to the Libs,

Or maybe the working class are just sick of middle class lefties looking down their nose at them and calling them xenophobic racists

No doubt they are, who likes being called a racist or xenophobe?, but as a working class boy myself, or ex working class if you take an economic rather than cultural analysis, if it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck...

That's easy fixed isn't it evo? They can stop buying the Herald Sun/ Sun Herald, watching Today Tonight, listening to Ray Hadley and Alan Jones, reading and watching Andrew Bolt and getting Southern Cross tattoos and calling refugees "illegal immigrants". Problem solved.

Murdoch, the dominant media, player pushed the exit case hard, but yeah good point.

Of his three English papers, two went Leave, one Remain. Classic Rupert hedge.

We might start seeing a new wave of 'boat people' flooding our shores trying to get in - all carrying 10 Pounds in now worthless currency.

;D

Very good CMT.

I'm still getting about 30% more $AUD for my GPB today than I was two or three years ago. Forgive me if I'm not complaining too much.

How times change.... Ian Paisley's son is now telling Northern Irish citizens "if you can get an Irish passport, get one".

 

[Tigers of Old]

Now Boris walks away? WTF?

More likely they've decided his partnership with Michael Gove, will be more effective with Gove as leader.

Gove was his campaign manager and just backstabbed him.

That's some partnership right there.

I certainly posted that before details of Gove's manoeuvrings came to light. Seems behind the scenes, BoJo has been a bit flakey.

 

[AngryAnt]

Charismatic but clueless?

 

[poppa x]

Boris is a divisive figure and he knows it.
So IMO he's decided to get out of the way and let a more inclusive leader get on with the job.

Except thats not what happened. As others said Gove ambushed him. So basically all this for nothing.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Haha now Farage has exited stage left too.

 

[Baloo]

My bet is there won't be a Brexit

 

[Midsy]

Heading back to the Tories maybe...?

 

[IanG]

Haha now Farage has exited stage left too.

He and Johnson are pathetic, abdicating responsibility for the situation they created.

 

[tigersnake]

Can you believe Johnson and Farage? Make a massive mess the walk away and let others clean it up. Amazing stuff. Saw a graphic the other day of the assembley Farage accused of never working a day in their live, there were surgeons, uni professors, successful business owners, all high achievers. Dumb on dumb.
