    ...oh and maybe you want to espouse the 'just accept it' attitude to all those Tories and Farage cloned Brexiteers who ignored the previous 'people's vote' and tried for decades to get Britain out of the EU. Makes you smile eh?


    It's no different to if you vote for one party and another gets in.  Complaining about not liking the result isn't going to change anything.  As a matter of interest, what previous 'people's vote' are you referring to?  The only other referendum I recall was to join the Common Market / European Community.  There was no referendum on the massive changes brought about by the Maastricht agreement if that's the stuff you refer to.

    That is beyond belief @Dovefromabove. I always feared that this sort of thing would happen.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    We have lots of Eastern European drivers who deliver to store and I always make a point of saying " Please don't let bigots make you go home. Please stay"

    But if they have children here ... why stay and risk them being humiliated and terrorised. 
    I know a young woman from an Islamic part of Russia ... she’s not a practising muslim and wears european clothes and speaks perfect English with just a hint of an accent ... she was subjected to some really nasty abuse from some people in their town as were her Polish neighbours. There are a lot of racist bigots about.

     There are a lot of racist bigots about. 
    there are indeed and the combination of a  right wing government and Brexit seems to make them think they have free license to voice their hatred.
    Am I the only person who thinks " tolerance" peaked about 10 -15 years ago and has been in decline since then?

    I'm a bit curmudgeonly because I got the ride on mower stuck in mud ( sorry @Pat E ) whilst towing a trailer full of stuff.
    I had to be all butch and drag it out.
