Channel 4 apologises for Jon Snow's "white people" remark

And in doing so, you have in your way committed the same type of mendacity as Snow's true culpa.

In a similar way, you're now irrelevantly pointing out that 17 million isn't a majority of 60 million, when you never raised this point before about any other plebiscite in British history, not one of which achieved so many votes for any option on the ballot paper.

Not the majority, no. Just the ones who still insist that Brexit must happen, regardless.
Remember that only 17 million voted Leave, and some of those only did so on the basis of lies like the Bus of Mendacity. The population of the UK is over 60 million.
Perhaps "majority" doesn't mean what you think it means?

'xenophobic' possibly, in some cases could be debatable. Idiotic, not debatable.

demanding uk pull out of its most lucrative trade agreement that other countries have be falling over themselves to negotiate themselves in because some fantasiful promises of ' sovereignty' and the good old days'.

if a company director suddenly decided to cut his biggest client and deliberalty sit through years of reduced income/possible insolvensy because of some self assured superiority complex- what else would you call it

the vote was what 52-48% yes? so thats the majority of the UK, people who didn't or can't vote have no say and don't count

Politics is full of lies on each side no matter what,

it's nieve to believe anything a politician says pretty much ever. [/quote[ So you didn't believe any of the stuff you were told by the Leave camp. lol!


This bit makes no sense. Could you rephrase it in better English.


So 17 million is more than half of 47 million.
And that, Medames et Messieurs, is Brexit logic in a nutshell!

I'd call it a majority decision? just making a point that half of our country are not xenophobic for voting leave.

Sounds like a snide remark regarding the high numbers of ethnics in london these days..

Oops, there you go again!
Slightly less than a third of the country voted Leave.
I'm sure it's just coincidence that Leavers seem to have the most difficulty dealing with reality. And numbers. An sometimes words.

The EU is both a political and economic union. It doesn't hide the fact of either.

What is it about a political union with the rest of Europe that you are so opposed to?
What will the benefits of leaving said system be?
Which leaders are you referring to?

Personally I don't think he really meant to cause offence; a comment like that could really potentially damage his career and I don't think he'd want to risk it.

By that argument, even fewer voted to remain, so that’s 16 million out of more than 60 million? Only a quarter of the population wanted to remain in the glorious EU.

Why should either side get to claim the remainder of the population who didn’t or couldn’t vote? It’s really desperate stuff.

Firstly it was not originally sold as anything more than an economic union.

Secondly. Like I said. There is no system in place to remove unwanted leaders.

Regardless of who is in power at the time, that concept is basic to a sustainable government that aims for peace. The benefit of leaving said union is retaining that important right.

Right. I have been out on a birthday meal so anything I say tonight is not my responsibility.

happy birthday btw then lol

Yep it is, if 52% of the votes were for leave then thats a majority, in what universe do you expect 100% of the population to want or be able to vote? Those who did want to and actually cared, voted and they represent the entire demographic of our country, the sample size was just over 30 million, so the likelihood that if all 60 million had voted the vote would have swayed to leave is most likely.

but both sides lied regardless, so the people would have been lied to either way.

Apologies Sir, or perhaps maaaster might prefer me to fetch his reading glasses and magnifying glaaaasss so he can read adequately?

There you go assuming I'd vote leave lol, believe it or not I'm a remainer. 17 million is more than half of the people who voted, thats all that matters, its a majority, the leave party won because it was a majority.....

My greatest apologies sir, as one perfect human being yourself and upon your graaand birthday I am humiliated to have berated you with such mundane gramatical skills, perhaps sir might like to make his point rather than focussing on miscommunication as this is not an English Language classroom?

People who didn't vote are irrelevant. They have removed themselves from the decision making process.
