The problems with the Greens?

[Nick]

Brexit was won because of the anti-immigration vote. Nothing to do with Greens. All to do with antipathy towards Blacks, Browns, Swarthy complexions, and foreign accents.

Had you spent more time working on your allotment and got a farmer's tan, instead of sitting in the shed, you might have received some of that too...

Rubbish. 
Nothing to do with 2 million unknown refugees Merkel let in then?
I also have to add, the only person on this forum who ever mentions colour is you.

Claiming 75 million Turks were poised to invade the UK, and posing in front of a poster showing turbaned hordes queuing to enter doesn't convince me that Farage (the only memorable face of Ukip) during the Brexit campaign, wasn't playing the anti-immigration card...

Farage Immigration Speech - YouTube

Farage was/is  an opponent of Mass immigration and open borders not controlled immigration which he supported . In fact it was he that was suggesting the points based system years before the Tories implemented it ,badly it must be said but it was Farage that sowed the seeds of that policy .

BNP lost many of its sympathisers when Ukip provided a more acceptable/decent home for the Tunbridge Wells Blue Rinses and Col Blimps...

Dont think so Posty , UKIP went out of their way to keep anything BNP at arms length even baning former members from joining up . Not saying those who had previously voted BNP didnt vote UKIP or indeed Brexit , they probably did but there was more to both parties than being anti immigration .

Other than a few retired postmen and mini cab drivers, the BNP never had many sympathisers and its main role is as a bogey man that allows Lardy Lammy and Dozy Abbott to keep their constituencies at the bottom of the deprivation list while blaming someone else for their smug incompetence.

Your probably right Posty , that 2% that swung the balance would sound about right of the anti immigration vote .  Not sure where blacks came into it though , we were not voting to stop immigration from Africa , we need to elected the BNP it seems  to stop that .

Balls.

God is English, voted Brexit and does not care what colour you are.

As to sitting in my shed, I have spent the weekend watching Fatima and Adam hoeing, weeding and mowing my patch. They are good kids and, what with it being Ramadan, will break their arses for a few Easter eggs.

The people voted for Brexit because they had self respect.

Greens voted for the EU because they don't have any.

While I'm all for a clean environment and sustainability, I always used to say that the problem with the Green Party is that people won't vote for a party they think will lower their living standards. However, the people voted (narrowly) for Brexit so I'm not sure that argument still holds water.

Given their antics on all manner of gender identity issues I'd be amazed if two of them worked out if they're the right polarity to repopulate the planet so I'm not hugely worried about them ...

I reckon it is a bit of an agenda, make peoples lives so miserable trying to save the planet, they would rather be dead anyway. Zero quality of life is rather pointless. Maybe they are still smarting a bit from when we said we would shut the place down and board it up, I guess they realised we weren't joking when nobody turned out to vote for any of them.

Not going to happen, they are the saviours you are part of the throwaway society.

Well they're right.

But as an example, they should go first.
