Link doesn't work but never mind. I bet Corbyn is secretly pleased.

[scorpiojo]

It works for me

[Svejk]

2nd link is working, no?

[scorpiojo]

Yep

Loved this I read this morning "I'm not saying everyone who votes Leave is a racist, but everyone who's a racist will be voting Leave"

[Svejk]

^And that, is exactly the reason that Leave will win.

[Bathsheba]

Yep Svejk, I suspect you will be proved correct

This tallies with most of my friends who are working class ( not necessarily Labour Voters).
It does not surprise me, it is working class people who have been most affected by immigration, in the form of keeping wages down, and lising low paid jobs to eastern Europeans. You can't really blame them, and hearing Labour tell them to vote 'Remain' must be a real insult.

[Ric.ror]

I wish people would stop banging on about immigration
I'm voting out and it has nothing to do with immigration.
I rather follow the comments made on the gentleman from Denmarks thread

[Ric.ror]

I apologise - the gentleman from NORWAY

[Gromit]

The Labour Perty couldn't persuade enough of its core voters to back it in rge Genereal Election, so they ain't goung to vote for foreigners undercutting and taking their jobs.

How do we know that the Grauniad hasn't cherry picked it's video to show an apparent public view in order to galvanise 'remainers' to spread the word and ensure that they turn out ? I'll believe a public turn around towards leave if and when the referendum count shows it.

[youngmafbog]

It's still far too close to call. Polls, as we know are useless.

Whatever the vote pretty much half of the country will be feeling disenfranchised so harmony will be a real problem.

I can really understand those on lower pay feeling this. Those I have spoken too pretty much echo what Gromit has written. (Sorry to break the mould and agree with you for once Gromit!).

Of course immigration is not the only reason for many, for me it is just a part of the whole picture, but for those massively affected it is a more compelling reason than any scaremongering economic argument. After all whats the point of threatening jobs and tax rises if you struggle to get a job whilst in the EU?

Labour lost touch with all but the most brainwashed of the electorate years ago - but its arrogance is such that it still doesn't realise it.

"90% Of Labour Supporters Are Voting Leave"

In other news, 93.725% of statistics are made up.

[Svejk]

^I'm afraid you'd have to watch the 10min video to see where that comes from, Dougie. (or skip to last 20 seconds)

[webbo3]

Especially the statistics from the remain camp.

Despite not living in S.O.T. for years now, I still have family and friends there. Take it from me, although a little rough around the edges, the people of Stoke are not fools. They have seen through the smoke and mirrors, and the area was one of the first to be affected by the mass immigrant influx. The area has been a Labour stronghold for generations, fat lot of good it has done for the electorate. Also be assured that once they have made up their minds, they will not be changing their stance.
