Nothing racist about wanting your country to be your country.

What the crosstabs say but the article doesn’t is that it is overwhelmingly the remain voters who see the country as more racist—the average leave voter sees it as unchanged.

If I remember correctly, sky news is a right leaning news organization. What bothers me though is the racist proclamation certainly conjures up the assessment of a leftist. So I am confused by this, but perhaps sky news is like the Wall Street Journal here in the U.S. Right leaning globalist dominated.

Admittedly though I have not clicked on the link and read the entire article. Mainly because I do not believe in polls, and I certainly have lost faith in interpretations as to what the results of polls mean.

When parts of your country turn radical and become mini-tyrannies, I don’t see it as racist to be disturbed by that.

The Brits should be glad they haven’t had to deal with odumbo for the past 8 years, talk about a divided nation based on race. Odumbo has been the leader of “division” since the day he stepped into the WH, a separation among Americans that will take years to overcome and possibly may never heal the wounds. I despise that bastard with a passion.

From an American perspective, the UK has no right wing. In fact, Western Europe doesn't have a right wing. The choices given to the people of Europe would be equivalent to Americans having only the Democrats, the Green Party, and the Communist Party to choose from. This seems to hold true for their media as well.

Even “if”. . . Don’t people have the right to have preferences of their own ethnicity, religion culture, esp when it is being threatened?

Anyone else notice how blacks always talk about “black this, black that” and Latinos “Hispanic this Hispanic that”. And the MSM and pols never bat an eye.

But let white people appreciate their heritage, accomplishments, express concerns.....Oh that’s “racist’. “Stop it now”

That’s true and why I said right leaning. They definitely have news that leans in one direction more than the other, and sky news is one of the few that lean towards what we identify as the right.

They keep insisting realism is racism.

Maybe it’s not racism, but a realistic assessment of their situation.

UKIP immigration spokesman John Bickley did not believe that Britain had become more racist.

He told Sky News: “I think the problem with the word racism is its meaning has been changed particularly by people on the left over the last 15 years.

“If you talk about immigration now, and depending which party you’re in, you are called racist.”


Bingo.
