The EU Referendum

[leeblue]

Long term prediction......we will negotiate to stay in the single market, this means free movement and contributions continuing. Ultimately ignoring the referendum result, or at least the main reasons for voting leave.

On another note. To all those stating that hate crimes have risen by 50% since Brexit. Never let the truth get in the way of a good old scare story and keyboard ********.

A statement from the National Police Chiefs’ Council Lead for Hate Crime has skewered the mainstream media and ‘Remain’ politician narrative that there has been a confirmed spike in hate crimes across the United Kingdom since the country voted to leave the European Union (EU).

Speaking on Tuesday, Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton clarified that while reporting of hate crimes had risen via an online form, there was no evidence to suggest that this was uniquely related to a Brexit vote, nor that the crimes have actually been committed.
Earlier Breitbart London reported on how Remain campaigners are using Facebook groups to urge people to report hate crimes via the online ‘True Vision’ platform.
Hamilton said: “Police forces are working closely with their communities to maintain unity and tolerance and prevent any hate crime or abuse following the EU referendum. At the national level, the vast majority of people are continuing to go about their lives in safety and security and there have been no major spikes in tensions reported.
“However, we are seeing an increase in reports [emphasis added] of hate crime incidents to True Vision, the police online hate crime reporting site. This is similar to the trends following other major national or international events.
And further information from his office stated that there has been an of 57 per cent increase in reporting [emphasis added] to True Vision since Friday compared to this time last month.
They add: “This should not be read as a national increase in hate crime of 57% but an increase in reporting through one mechanism.”

Um..what was the question? :unsure:

Still waiting proof of where I defended that Somalian rapist Rigsby. I guess I'll be waiting a long time.

Are you sneering again?

Naughty tinker you.

I think they'll use that argument to say there is no reason to trigger Article 50.

I've been thinking this for a few days now. If I were a cynical person I might even believe that it was Boris' intention all along... :whistling:

Yeah, I'm sitting up in my high tower laughing at the proles who don't eat cous cous and enjoy the music of Latvian throat wobbling goat hurders.

Well May says article 50 wont be triggered until end of year. And now Gove wants to be leader. I'd prefer him to Boris to be fair.

I preferred their earlier stuff.

Let me get this right. Are you then saying that the only benefit of us actually leaving is that we won't have to put up with any more speeches from Farage in the European parliament? :winking:

Interesting stuff, thanks.

Agree...... The referendum was a bribe for people to vote Tories in the last election.....the result was supposed to be very different.

Interesting article on Brexit and Southend for any Spanish speakers on SZ.

What can you say :'(

 

[GrumpyBlue]

I done that. Wish I'd struggled on in Spainish, doesn't translate well.

Yes it is an odd piece of translation :nope:

I'm not sure I understand you. Are you saying we won't actually leave, or that even if we leave we'll still be de-facto members?

I could live with that :winking:

Yeah. Their first album was brilliant.

Stop it! There's nothing wrong with a good curry. I'm trying to persuade my wife that we need one Saturday night! I think I might have to agree to emigrate to Canada to get one though! (She's still banging on about it.)

There's your trigger warning. An awful sensationalist right wing paper.

ps surely reporting crime is a good thing - are you saying hate crime shouldnt be reported?

It's a direct quote from a statement from the National Police Chiefs’ Council Lead for Hate Crime. Not an op ed statement by that rag. It's in print elsewhere but that just happens to be the first at the top of the Google listing and the first I clicked and don't you go starting to twist what's been typed to justify avoiding the point being made and instead ask a stupid question. Of course reporting hate crime should be reported you arse. That's not what I implied or said and nor does that article. It merely states that the sensationalist claims made in the media lately are just that, sensationalist. I would have thought better of you Nap.

De-facto.....we will not leave the single market....therefore them pesky EU rules will be there, thus brushing aside the leave voters main reasons for voting
