    By the way, German chancellor Merkel made it clear that there will be no cherry-picking of EU privileges and it will make a significant difference between a country being a member of the EU or not. Also there will be no formal or informal preliminary negotiations until Britain is actually using paragraph 50 to leave the EU.

    Social attitudes

    •A small majority of those who voted to remain think that for most children growing up today, life will be better than it was for their parents; leavers think the opposite by 61% to 39%. Leavers see more threats than opportunities to their standard of living from the way the economy and society are changing, by 71% to 29% – more than twice the margin among remainers.
    •Nearly three quarters (73%) of remainers think life in Britain is better today than it was 30 years ago; a majority (58%) of those who voted to leave say it is worse.

    Ill vs Good
    •By large majorities, voters who saw multiculturalism, feminism, the Green movement, globalisation and immigration as forces for good voted to remain in the EU; those who saw them as a force for ill voted by even larger majorities to leave.

    This stinks of that reddit movement started by a gay guy from London, I didn't bother to retain his name abd those are the only personal things that I know about him. His hateful fear mongering has spread all across the EU last I checked and has made it over to the USA. He is a big Trump supporter. Surprise surprise.

    Anyway, the Leavers have the same mentality as his movement.

    There is also no indication of the veracity of such stories cited. I know some asians and blacks who voted leave for reasons to do with lack of jobs, overcrowded schools and services and some working in the NHS and the police that see aspects of the story many of us will never see.


    Yeah. Repudiation this ain't. No sirree. Racist attacks had been documented, and all you could say was 'they're stories, there's no way of knowing if they are true'. That's, like, a dictionary definition of repudiation, by the way.

    Anyway, this has gone on long enough. Apologies for the thread drift, everyone else.

    This is unlikely to have anything to do with Brexit and is not that uncommon on the Trams that run through Manchester.

    They were most likely drinking all night, mourning England's defeat to Iceland - it happened at around 7-8am. From what I've heard, the racial abuse occurred because the man told them to watch their language in front of the women and children on the Tram.

    I grew up around many individuals of different ethnic backgrounds, mainly Pakistani and Somali but also some white British, who would act in the same manner as these scumbags if they were told off by someone in public. They are part of the Asbo generation, who are mainly made up of poor insecure young males who never learnt how to communicate to other human beings in a respectful manner.

    We're in the age of narcissism, self entitlement and victimhood, but lucky enough not an age of action unless it requires clicking Like on Facebook. Milo is soft porn for Britain First and the rest of the loony organisations, as well as their followers, who make it out they are the victims because no one talks about issues that the white working/underclass men have. No doubt there are issues among white people of the lower classes but they are caused by mainly upper class white men who have basically destroyed any discussion about social class which has led people to only focus on diversity of gender, ethnicity and sexuality.

    If society was able to have a mature conversation about immigration and social class, a lot of the problems within western society wouldn't be as severe as they are now and people like Milo wouldn't be as relevant.

    Milo is just another social justice warrior who hates on other SJW's because he thinks that the issues he cares about are being ignored because the other SJW's are in control of the rhetoric which is just idiotic.

    I'm sorry to hear that your daughter was on the receiving end of a racist attack recently, but I wasn't being dismissive of the rise of racial abuse since the referendum result. I was merely providing more context to what might have occurred in this particular situation. Considering I was born and raised in Manchester and I commute on the Tram, I aware of the way some young males act on the tram when they are told off by another member of public. It should also be noted that racist incidents do tend to rise when the England Football team loses in a major competition and this incident occurred the morning after England lost to Iceland. Not all racist incidents are linked to Brexit, racism has actually been on the rise for a while and incidents like these are becoming more and more frequently, especially in major cities like Manchester.

    Quote
    Juan, a former soldier in the United States, and currently an associate lecturer for Manchester Metropolitan University and University of Salford, told Channel 4 news: “It was a bit of a surreal moment because it was initially just me asking those individuals just to watch their language, which was really early in the morning and there were children about and I could tell from other’s people’s faces on the tram they didn’t really appreciate the language they were using. So I thought I would step up and say something.

    They are not cut from the same cloth and to generalize all SJW people under one brush is kind of ridiculous. If you want to go there, the ex-muslim community, particularly this council, could be considered SJW. So, no. There is a huge difference between an asshole that incites hate to a group of people that are generally fueled by empathy. I will digress and say that a faction of them are irrational hate mongering machines, but they should not be the ones given focus.
