'Corbyn shares platform with radical cockney chimney sweep'
sameThe twat at the end killed me.
You are mixing illegal immigration and legal immigration together. Italy is against the former but if the EU remove the latter then the economy would collapseAnyway, even if it wasnt freedom of movement that killed it, the EU itself still faces an existential threat from immigration. I dont say this because I want it to fail, or that I believe it will. But it does look a possibility. If they dont agree quotas for sharing immigrants and places like Hungary start closing their borders to immigrants an almighty row is going to break out, who knows where that would end. Or, at the end of it, what the EU position would be.
I don’t think I can fully eloquent just how much I love this. Every single bit of it. From the first “Twat” to the last. From the bizarre cut away to Corbyn and a confused Pamela Anderson, to the phrase “in Nice, with his trotters up”, to the second even more bizarre cut away to Ed Balls, Amir Khan and Harry Redknapp...to the final, triumphant, valedictory “Twat”. Possibly the greatest use of the word Twat in recorded history. A Twat for the ages. It’s glorious. All of it. It should be studied in schools.Tweet

Watched that live, I was howling.The twat at the end killed me.
I was already chuckling but that was the icing on the cakeThe twat at the end killed me.
Danny Dyer isnt the hero we deserve, but he’s the one we need right now. A silent guardian. A watchful protector. A faaaking cnut.
Was there a response to this?I work for a small company. The EU safety and environmental regulations we work to ensure an even playing field against companies 10 times our size who would otherwise cut corners in the name of increased volume. So much so that we actively lobby in Westminster and Brussels for even higher levels of regulation to ensure the very best outcome for the end user safety-wise. Without these regulations people would otherwise (and have in days of lesser regulation) die in the wrong circumstances.
The regulations are there to protect the consumer.
But carry on with your generalisation and patronisation.
Good Evening BritainWow that Danny Dyer video has to be the greatest piece of political commentary ever.
BTW, what's this show that has Corbyn, Pamela Anderson, Harry Redknapp and Amir Khan discussing Brexit?
Regulations are also there to protect smaller companies and consumers with technical barriers to trade by having higher standards you limit the capacity of huge plants to flood markets with extremely low cost/low added value/low quality products.I work for a small company.

You know that's the worst thing about it all. Labour should be championing freedom of movement not kowtowing to racist scumbags. If I had to give one thing I'm most ashamed of this country about it's the pervasive influence of anti-immigration sentiment with a special 'f*** you' reserved for people like Corbyn who give succour to it for political convenience. At least Farage has the defence of actually being a racist piece of shit. Anyone who isn't but still adopts essentially an 'I agree with Nigel' position, is in someways worse.“And, possibly, other things as well...”
Fecking immigrants!
Wouldn't be surprised. Why would anyone wish to come here now with all the uncertainty? Unless you're coming here short-term then you're taking a huge risk moving to Britain now. What's the same for business will be the same for people. I've a Spanish friend who moved here 4 years ago and her future is up in the air. She tells me if she was making the decision now she wouldn't have come now because of the uncertainty. Simply isn't work risking it, such a huge undertaking of upping sticks and moving to a foreign country when in a few months you could be kicked out because "fish"Immigration is down massively since the referendum I believe, was it 47%?
It's all just fecked up. Poor people in Britain really are suffering under Tory austerity. I also think they genuinely do experience whatever negative consequences immigration might cause in this context far more than middle-class/wealthy people. Over-crowded, under-funded national health/educational services will inevitably be blamed on the non-nationals who are sharing the same waiting rooms/classrooms. So I don't blame these people for being duped into thinking that immigrants are the real problem and Brexit might reverse these trends.You know that's the worst thing about it all.

But "Oh, Jeremy Corbyn!", or something, right?

Like you say, though, a party like Labour should be challenging this and urging their voters to focus on the real villains in the piece, instead of sitting back and letting xenophobia and nostalgia drive the the country head-long towards a really shitty decision.

You're all missing the point why Corbyn is a Leaver:You know that's the worst thing about it all. Labour should be championing freedom of movement not kowtowing to racist scumbags.

Tories, especially May, are pushing ahead with something they don't believe inWhat's hilarious is that
If he does back leave he really should say. At least we know where he stands. What sticks in the craw is the idea that he's a highly principled man of honour who is either lying about not supporting Brexit or cannot oppose it despite his convictions because to do so would be politically inconvenient.
He's a leaver. I went to a Brexit meeting and the Communist Party - to my shock - were campaigning for a hard brexit more than UKIP. That's Corbyn's position too. Hence the silence.If he does back leave he really should say. At least we know where he stands. What sticks in the craw is the idea that he's a highly principled man of honour who is either lying about not supporting Brexit or cannot oppose it despite his convictions because to do so would be politically inconvenient.
Neither of those strike me as a position any highly principled man of honour would find himself in but even his own supporters cannot deny that one of those two things describes his position perfectly. So instead we're on this merry-go-round of somehow insisting Corbyn is the saviour of British politics but somehow feign indignation when anyone mentions his name in relation to any of the big issues of British politics. I suspect when certain people saw his name in the title they were immediately ready to be affronted were any mention of him contained within the thread itself was anything other than gushing.
I don't blame the Tories for wanting to feck poor people over in the same way I don't blame my dog for licking his own arse. It's what I expect. I blame any Labour leader who has no interest in stopping poor people being fecked over and hold in contempt any of his cheerleaders who tell me I'm being unreasonable to ask why the Labour leader isn't doing anything much to stop poor people being fecked over.
