Have a read of the Socialist Worker - from a brief dip in to the articles, they appear to support Brexit. So are they all racists? They claim not..

Oh - The Daily Fail - not biased at all, are they?

To re-quote Rollo, when I jokingly put up a 'Fail' article and he couldn't see the irony:
- 'If you MUST get your information from a worthless rag....

I always question whether a reporter is 'reporting', or being fed bull.

No not everyone ( or indeed hopefully the majority) who is voting for Brexit is a racist...but I'd bet 99.9% or more of racists are voting for Brexit .

I've seen that report and whilst not saying it's not true they have joined, I dislike the obvious conclusion they want you to draw namely anyone voting for Brexit is an out and out racist.

"Violent thugs and racists hijacking the Brexit campaign
By Simon Walters, Glen Owen And Paul Cahalan

Published: 22:01, 4 June 2016 | Updated: 10:49, 5 June 2016

The campaign for Britain to leave the EU has been infiltrated by dozens of far-Right extremists with racist views, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. Our investigation has uncovered evidence that former members of the English Defence League, the National Front and the British National Party have attached themselves to the ‘Leave’ movements. Those who have hijacked the Brexit campaigns include: An EDL leader who was jailed after attacks on police. He posed with a pro-Brexit Ukip banner alongside the gravestone of the notorious Kray twins; A BNP official and his swastika-tattooed girlfriend, who have been distributing leaflets printed by Boris Johnson’s official anti-EU campaign; A former deputy of ex-National Front leader Nick Griffin – the man has been photographed with a pro-Brexit Tory MP at an anti-EU event; A BNP activist, who attended a rally during which pro-Nazis sneered at Holocaust victims, canvassed for Vote Leave in Surrey. The exposé came as David Cameron claimed that Boris Johnson and his Vote Leave allies know Britain’s economy will suffer if we leave the EU – but are trying to cover it up.

In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, the Prime Minister admits he gets ‘p***** off’ with Brussels at times, but warns that if we leave, France and other nations will punish the UK for the way Brexiteers have portrayed the EU as ‘the evil empire.’
