It is not that you have to be a racist or an anti-semite to vote for Brexit........

......It's just that every racist and anti-semite in the country did.....BOOM

WS "I didn't say that".
MF "You need to apologise to every bird for saying they are a penguin".



I love it when stupid racists get all indignant when faced with the truth thereby once again proving they are stupid racists.

Logic 101 =



Not all leavers are racist, but all racists are leavers. I do not think this is news...

1. Syllogism fail.

Francois: "I think you should apologize."

Self: "To who? To racists and antisemites?"

Francois somehow has a BA in History (Bristol) and an MA in War Studies (King's College London). I think we need to take a serious look at academic standards in these two institutions.

Francois has a string of greatest hits/self-owns. Here's one:


Brexiteer Mark Francois tears up German Airbus CEO’s letter on live TV during bizarre World War Two rant
...

“Well, we’ve had another intervention, in the debate. Yesterday Tom Enders, the CEO of Airbus, who was a German paratrooper in his youth, issued a letter where he called the Brexiteers mad.” “Presumably, because we are trying to implement the decision of 17.4 million Brits in the referendum. I’m a patriotic Englishman but I never dream of telling a German MP how to vote in the Bundestag and I think Mr Enders should pay us the same courtesy.”

...

“Mr Enders’ intervention is a classic example of the sort of Teutonic arrogance, which is one of the reasons why many people voted to leave the European Union.”

...

Mr Francois said: “If he thinks because he runs a big company he can bully British MPs how to vote, he is going to be sorely mistaken.” “My father Reginald Francois was a D-Day veteran, he never submitted to bullying by any German, neither will his son.”

Last seen, he was doubling down on Karen Bradley's controversial remarks about civilian casualties at the hands of British forces in Northern Ireland even after she'd given an abject apology and retracted them.

Rayleigh and Wickford is a very safe Tory seat where a lot of the locals are extreme tribalist right wingers. Which mean that he can get away with talking complete and utter bollocks as a large portion of his constituents will lap that drivel up.

Perhaps he could start by apologizing to the Queen, for example!!!

I don't think, however, that all racists voted for Brexit. There are certainly some racists and xenophobes who voted Remain for economic reasons. One of them is currently Prime Minister.
