Congratulations, mods.

I already made some comment in the Automated ban list.
Some Mods are ... not that intelligent.

This is exactly the reason, why BREXIT is happening, why TRUMP will become the next US president. People have enough of Political correctness.



Its also one of the reasons there has been a big increase in far right groups recently, the general public don't have faith in our governments anymore to tackle these issues.

So you probably should stop voting right wing, that way the police/justice department would probably get the money they need instead of being cut down whenever possible.


But hey, its way easier to just blame "liberals" for everything bad ever.

That is the problem. If normal parties do not stop with false political correctness, if the newspapers and discussion forums do not stop with banning people for expressing (politely) their reasonable and real (non xenophobic, non racist) concerns, then the next elections will be won by some ultra right parties. And then, the politicians and media will get what they wanted.

or we could be reasonable and assume i'ts som eof each.
But it's certainly the case that referenda have serious flaws in them; and carelessly doing referenda is stupid and shouldn't be done.

Its possible, but if they were that stupid they would be the ones voting for the destruction of our economy.
Its just an assumption. It might be wrong.

I'm not insulting my intelligence. You're insulting yours. Political correctness is what brings people like Trump, Nigel Farage, movements like PEGIDA, etc. They're just the beginning. Keep up with political correctness and, who knows, you may get worse than that.

The problem we have in the UK is that the politicians are just as idiotic.
Apparently (according to SKY news) the leave campaign had no plan for how we would leave, they thought no. 10 would do that planning. No. 10 wasn't planning to leave at all, so they didn't.
The only person with a plan was Nicola Sturgeon.
I fucking hate my country, its people and its government sometimes.

I was so happy for the British people after the results were known. But now?

Now I see, BREXIT does not have a leader, it does not have a plan, it does not have a program, it does not have support. The whole BREXIT referendum was primarily a protest movement. What normally would be good, sending such a message, if there were no serious consequences.

But the consequences are here. Trust me, before the end of 2016, one GBP will have lower value than one USD. And the ones, who will feel it in their pocket, will be ordinary people in the UK, not the elites, not the politicians ...

If only Corbyn hadn't done the same.
We're now left without a political party capable of anything. Its worse than that, though, the brexit supporters are angry because no-one told them it would take years to leave, and the remain supporters are absolutely furious.
We've got a population on the verge of insanity and no-one to lead them.
