• Bojo was explicit about the restoration of free movement within the 'white commonwealth'(Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Britain). If that is too hard a search, try Amber Rudd's official statements, as migration was in the Home Secretary's portfolio. That stuff goes back to Enoch Powell in the 1960s. Johnson basically wanted to run a large-scale migration system without explicit discrimination while ensuring "people like us" get in. The demographics in each of the countries above leads to the discomforting conclusion that there was an inherent contradiction in wanting free movement while restricting immigration. Bojo hit the wall, he didn't sell-out the people. It was an unobtainable pursuit and the racism is obvious and well documented, in their words. ...

• Another F I\'m afraid Kevin. You just love a little ropey inference don\'t you.rnrn\'Your first question doesn\'t need an answer Paul, it answers itself. We don\'t want \'them\' here is of course xenophobic, and probably racist\'. rnrnI didn\'t go as far as you do Kevin to call them racist like you do but you\'re perfectly entitled to your opinion. But I do agree with you that \'We don\'t want \'them\' here is of course xenophobic\'. rnrnTell me, where exactly do I \'level the charge\' of racism at - your term - \'the great unwashed. Show me exactly where I do this.rnrn\'Britain is in fact one of the least racist countries in the world. \'rnrnOn what do you base this Kevin? Is there a league table or some sort of UN research survey? rnrnWhat are the criteria that you bring to the table to define a \'racist\' country?rnrnWhat is the nature of your actual evidence for making this claim?rnrnBy the way, I\'ve al...

• Michael #2, he completely sat out the first 2 1/2 games of the tournament, and subbed on against defenders who had already played 240+ minutes -- some of them while a man down. So yeah, that would be a big help with the fatigue issue....

• your first question doesn\'t need an answer Paul, it answers itself. We don\'t want \'them\' here is of course xenophobic, and probably racist. rnI didn\'t say you were a racist, I said you were levelling this charge at your fellow countrymen. You believe the deciding factor was the great unwashed not wanting too many of \'them\' here. rnBritain is in fact one of the least racist countries in the world, and with a people who just a few generations ago stood alone against real nazis. If they decide they want to set limits on immigration, rather than say admit a million a year, then that is something they are perfectly entitled to do without being sneered at. ...

• Erm Kevin M, nice try but no. Do better.rnrn\'. a much larger part was we don\'t want \'them\' here\'. How is that in any shape or form racist? rnrnA large element in \'the motives\' of many people \'who decided Brexit\' and are now in worse shape ten years later was, I\'m sorry, a misplaced \'Xenophobia\' and we don\'t want \'them\' here. How is pointing this out racist?rnrnHow is \'looking down on the motives of the people who decided Brexit\' in any way, shape, or form \'racist\' Kevin, if indeed I do \'look down\' on them?rnrnAnswers on a postcard please from one of those jolly old seaside resorts that BREXIT has helped to destroy.rn...
