I read the news today oh boy! Page 1,936
Hearing the news that the planned route for the HS2 rail link goes through a newly built housing estate in Sheffield reminds me of many a Saturday morning listening to Children's Favourites/Junior Choice on the wireless:
Haven't been extreme for a while, so here goes - David Davies is a total arse and the Tories are leading us to complete disaster. 20 months from now and the folk who voted Brexit because they didn't like black faces are going to be starving because we don't have anybody to harvest the crops.
He isn't even trying. It's like he doesn't want the job.

Talk about fake news...

Don't be silly. This had been lurking in the background for ages and now there's been an academic study about it (not to mention various farmers who share the views). Needless to say the Tory government has no plans in place to deal with the shortage of foreign workers. Brexit has always been about the Tory Party and never about what is good for the citizens.
What utter tosh.
In last night's local news "the thugs who kicked a man senseless have been sentenced to 42 years in prison" SO !?!? If it had been two of them then fair enough but there were 13 lumps of shit sentenced, which makes the individual sentences pathetic and along with those they got a 10 year football banning order WTF!! That is serious.............like f**k it is.
Banned for life and 20 years in prison EACH would be more like it.
That poor sod Simon Dobbin is now trapped in his own body till he dies. HE HAS A LIFE SENTENCE purely for being a football fan in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I hope the filth that kicked him senseless all die a long and painful death.
So called justice in this country is sick.

I'm sure you know better than the academic experts. Take a look at the 88 page report so you can have a good sneer ...
Here's some general comment from the Guardian ...

Sigh.
Immigration control does not mean NO IMMIGRATION and it also does not mean that there will be no work permits for migrant workers such as crop pickers.
Brexit merely means, in this context, that EU citizens wanting to work in the UK get the same deal as all the other workers from all the other countries in the world.
Only about a third of migrants into the UK come from the EU countries.

Agreed.
The millions of disappointed racists is the one and only upside of Brexit.

In all the news items and documentaries I have seen here in East Anglia about arable crop picking (and there have been many) I have never seen a black face amongst the pickers. I think you are getting your knickers in a twist and getting the cotton fields of the US mixed up with the flatlands of the east of England.
The majority are eastern European and we know how racist (allegedly) some of those countries are, so having a black person working amongst them is also highly unlikely.
It's easy: if you are against unregulated, unconstrained immigration -- illegal or not -- you are a racist.
The color of someone's skin doesn't even matter in the 21st Century definition of racism. Religion and country of origin have been included in an effort to score political points.

But there are many more who voted Brexit who just don't like being part of a European dictatorship. That's what WWII was all about!

What else would you expect from the f**king Guardian?
What is more disturbing is the Snowflake Generation managing to get two votes - one where their parents live and one where they study! Bloody disgusting!
