Raab absolutely typifies.... 12:08 - Nov 18 with 7874 views | Herbivore | ....both the arrogance and ignorance that characterises Tory Brexiteers. Not only did he not realise that the Dover-Calais crossing is vital to the UK economy, today he has come out and said that what was lacking in negotiations was simply political will, suggesting that if we'd just tried a bit harder we'd have walked away with a cracking bespoke deal that delivers on the Brexit pipedream. Then there's this chestnut: "I do think there is a point at which - we probably should have done it before - were we just to say 'I'm sorry this is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, we cannot accept those dictated terms'." It seems he never has and still doesn't grasp what a complex thing Brexit is. The fact that many Brexiteers think May simply hasn't tried hard enough, whilst totally failing to offer anything themselves when given the chance, is quite staggering. They still don't get it. They still believe in the pipedream even when they've been intimately involved in the process and had to run away because it got too hard. The whole thing is a total, total shambles. | |

Did you really just suggest he's been a fan of racists? | |

Sure did. If you're going to pass judgement on Corbyn as a racist and a liar then you'd expect to have the same level thrown back, wouldn't you? Anything else is utter, opportunistic hypocrisy. | |

Given that the European Research Group has proven themselves unable to count to 48, that would not be a promising development. | |

I'm basing my judgment on the things he has said and done, coupled with the views of people like Sir Trevor Phillips, former head of the race relations board. What have I said and done to suggest I am a fan of racists? | |

I'd rather not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_the_UK_Conservative_Party But I'm sure GB was a fierce campaigner on the inside. And has also never approved of a dishonest campaign in the name of politics or been highly selective with his information or words when making his case. So I wholeheartedly apologise and withdraw my accusation. I have no idea why I could even think that. | |

You claimed that I used to be a fan of racists. I'm still waiting for an example. You could always discretely edit out what you posted. People would probably think more of you as a man if you did. [Post edited 18 Nov 2018 14:59]

That link is full of specific examples. There are clearly many more too if anyone wants to dig them all up and drown the board in evidence. But is GB any more "a fan of racists" any more than Corbyn is a racist because of the organisation and some of the people both have associated themselves with? In response to his posts on the subject I'm just trying to see what standard applies here — or whether he thinks there's a different one for him. He is a dishonest and shady poster though — but probably corrupted by his love of the game of politics and his obsession with Corbyn. | |

If you didn't play out your usual histrionics and dealt with a point two people made immediately when calling out your hypocrisy, then people would think more of you. And they'd certainly have to read a lot less pointless posturing and moral outrage. | |

Still waiting for the examples. Your words come across as somebody who is, a-hem, rather tired and emotional. I'll leave to to your afternoon companion. [Post edited 18 Nov 2018 15:25]

I just gave them in the first link I could be bothered to find. You've been a fan of the Tories during all of that. I'll leave that with you to argue the toss, willfully miss the point and get all teary. | |

Raab absolutely typifies.... on 12:15 - Nov 18 by m14_blue | Brexiteers are beginning to realise what an absolute disaster they’ve unleashed on the country and are now trying to distance themselves from the fallout by blaming the remainer May and suggesting that if only they’d been in charge the unicorns would be here by now. Charlatans and cowards. Credit (for now) to Gove who at least is sticking around to try and make it work. [Post edited 18 Nov 2018 12:15]

There are a lot of examples of racism in the tory party that we are not allowed to discuss | | | |
