Britain vote to leave the EU

No, nobody is going to "jump into France" and fight against the French state. Luckily for us the number of heavily armed religious fundamentalist nutcases over here is so low that all they can do is carry out occasional isolated terrorist attacks, there's no way even in the most paranoid nightmares that there could be any kind of organised uprising of any scale. OK, plenty of paranoid nutcases in the States who think like that but I have to tell you it's just silly.

Alright....so peace will reign when Le Pen is elected, good news

What you don't understand is that you grew up in a febrile atmosphere of people still upset they lost the civil war and with an undercurrent of rebellion against the government in Washington. The idea that there might be a huge bunch of people pick up their weapons and try to overthrow the government isn't abstract nuttery to you, it's a genuine cultural touchstone.

Over here in civilisation you can sometimes go years without having a conversation about how tyrannical the government is and wouldn't it be a good idea to have an armed rebellion. People over here just aren't a bad hair day away from picking up the gun they don't have and marching on the capital.

Wow you are more out of touch than I thought

He comes from a party full of them. He is probably one of the worst though. He has destroyed the education system. It will be no coincidence that the rush to privatise that will be replaced by the rush to continue privatising the NHS under him if he gets the nod.

How do the Tories not come out so bad in any of this? Yet Corbyn is facing a full on revolt over nothing more than doing an excellent job for 9 months. It all just looks insane and you have to seriously worry about the motivations, sanity, and reasoning of every one involved in politics, except for Corbyn and the few reliable people he has around him.

Labour membership is up 60,000 in a week. More than doubled in a year. People clearly want Corbyn and the snakes just don't want to listen or hear. Good, resign all of you. Go and join the Tories or form the War Criminal Mafia Alliance or whatever it is you are into, but you are the problem and you are in the wrong party. Blair was the aberration and you are either going to learn that or face oblivion. If Corbyn goes, then Labour goes too.

Pfffffffft.

Because this was a revolt planned a long time ago. The media are a massive part of it.

That sounds more conspiracy theorist than Alex Jones and his tinfoil hat, mate. "Planned a long time ago"? Who planned it on the poor Sheeple, mate? The Illuminati? Fuck, Beanz, don't be so wishy washy.

[Gandalf]

The revolt was planned a long time ago but you won't hear much about it in the mainstream news. I have been moaning about the media and their treatment of Corbyn for months. This rebellion is a planned one and none of their justifications make any sense. Corbyn is extremely popular. The media doesn't have the effect it think it has. People know the truth and what the fear machine is now.

They were protesting in London about leaving the EU, pity they never protested when the Tory's got back in wankers.

[Dia bando]

Strange bunch protesting about leaving the EU ! the Tory's are more damaging than the EU but they do nothing.
They blame people were miss lead rubbish they ignored immigration simple, they have to remember uncontrolled immigration has ruined our community.
People are not thick this has been extremely damaging to our culture and our way of life.
Enough was enough we don't have housing or infrastructure go to Wrexham AAE on a weekend see how many pissed up EU immigrants they are dealing with.
I have friends working in AAE and ambulance crew.
Not BS all true so given the chance Wrexham area voted to leave.

I think Corbyn will not win Labour the general election and for the party he must stand down because the people we need to vote for the party will not vote for him.

I think you are wrong on this mate. Nye Bevan was correct years ago when he said "the right wing of the Labour Party would rather see it fall into perpetual decline than abide by its democratic decisions.” Don't let them fool you. Benn and Hodge etc have nowhere near the support that Corbyn does among the electorate willing and likely to vote at a general election. It is not coincidence that the Blairites spend more time writing newspaper columns then campaigning and that the turnout in their constituencies to support the remain campaign was so low. It is only under him that the scapegoating of migrants, something that has even become rampant on this forum and the rise of racism would be addressed. My friends kids were asked the day after the result "when are you going home?" (mixed race) and the Polish Center which has been in Plymouth for over 100 years has had "Go home Vermin" sprayed over it in the last few days. It's not a game for those of us living in the UK and the Labour supporters that are part and parcel of the problem with the same thinking would not vote for Labour anyway unless they became so right wing that you may as well vote Lib Dem or Tory. The fact is the Tories have moved so far to the right that only a radical left position as occupied by Corbyn would re balance the situation and repair some of the damage done. I was at an FE college last week and my friend who teaches there asked his students who they would vote for in an election and the overwhelming majority said Corbyn. The next generation want change and he is offering that.
