People who support leave would be even more unbearable, continuing to blame everything on the EU and spouting tales of woe about how unfair and anti-democratic it all is. Including familiar faces on this forum.
MPs who voted it down would be vilified as hate figures in the right wing bully boy press
Maybe the murder of Joe Cox was on their minds? Maybe they didnt fancy being next? Who knows?
It's completely disingenuous to blame remain supporting MPs for backing the referendum.
The place to stop it happening was in 10 Downing Street. Once the PM declared it would happen, it would have been unthinkable to vote down the result.
So you're comparing those who wanted a referendum to the murderer of Jo Cox.
Unbelievable.
Extreme right political violence seems to exclusively eminate from the right wing who would naturally be in the leave portion. Maybe you could give any examples of murders or unprovoked violence by a militant element of the liberal side of the spectrum?
Probably not.
Attempting to pretend like UFGN branded every leave voter as unhinged killers is disingenuous and pretty typical of the sort of nonsense the medium to far right wing have been pushing these last 2 years tbh.
No one is saying leave voters are murderous, but I'm sorry, the far right, be it Islamic terrorists, white supremacists or any other regressive ideologists are the number 1 perpetrators world wide of political or religious violence.
Maybe you see it in another way?
He suggested that one reason MPs chose to pass the government’s referendum Act was because they feared being murdered by right wing extremists.
That, in any sensible, right minded person’s view, must be seen as utter, utter nonsense.
I stand by it
If you were fair minded and wanted an honest debate, you would accept the point. It is valid.
The lunatic element within the Brexit support are dangerous and MPs do not have bodyguards
