    I hate getting involved in Brexit-related arguments (hence why I never even read the late abrexit thread) but regardless of which side you're on, you can't really argue with that.

     

    Not all Brexiteers are racist, but all racists are Brexiteers

    I will argue with that.

    I can find no evidence to prove or disprove the statement, on the balance of probability I would have to say it is false.

    Now what is the poster actually trying to say when they post this statement?

    Are they saying all the racists voted leave, no, no, no. They are saying that because ALL the racists voted leave, they as a remain voter cannot be racist. On the surface that`s quite clever isn`t it?  They are not really labeling others as racists they are saying "look at me, I`m not a racist, I voted leave so I cannot be a racist"

    Now why would anyone, unasked and unprovoked, feel compelled to signal to everyone that they are not a racist?

    Never felt the need myself,  why is it that some have to?

    There is no evidence either way for the following statement, as there is not for the original, sit well with you does it?

    Anyone that posts "Not all Brexiteers are racist, but all racists are Brexiteers" is not necessarily but probably a closet racist

    Argue against it if you like but you cannot disprove it

    oh dear

    EU regulations will apply to all goods in Northern Ireland. This means checks at the border.

    NI will remain in the UK’s customs territory

    on VAT, the plan will maintain the integrity of the single market

     

    it's far worse than May's deals !

    and the UK will maintain a border between the two Irelands and collect VAT to hand over to the EU

    Not quite -

    EU rules on Value Added Tax and excise duties will apply in Northern Ireland, with the UK responsible for their collection. However, revenues derived will be retained by the UK.
