if we vote out will all the non british folk who moved here( ie east european) be booted out ? genuine question btw.

I would think highly unlikely but if it did I wonder if the 1.2m Brits living in EU countries would be sent home.

I think it is illegal under EU law once you have established residency

[Al]

Out of interest how will it stop?

We will no longer be obliged to take all comers from the EU and hopefully we will introduce a USA/Australia type immigration policy that we cannot do within the constraints of the EU.

Sorry Jim but I have neither the wish nor the patience to trawl the internet for the type of biased studies that you google for. I'm surprised you didn't suggest the Daily Mirror.

Why would they want to do that when the ex pats generally spend a lot of money in the countries they live in.

Is that why Holocaust denial is a criminal offence in some European countries, then? And we're not talking about people denying outright that it happened but people who debated certain aspects of the historical narrative and were thrown behind bars for their thought-crimes.

WW2 was a f****ed up war with atrocities committed by all sides. After the war and the kangaroo court known as the Nuremberg Trials, Germany became a proverbial dumping ground for our collective guilt. And since then, the Holocaust has used to push white guilt on Europeans and justify Israel's expansionist policies in Palestine. We can't very well allow people to challenge this most sacred of cows, can we?

Apologies if it wasn't you, but didn't you have a more robust view of the Holocaust in the past? Views changed or are you just denying your own views to avoid a ban?

Interesting when you do read the legal status of denial. Many countries - if not all - that have a law don't limit to the Holocaust but include the other atrocities in subsequent conflicts too.

With the Hillsborough outcome, frightening to think what else has been covered up and at what lengths governments may go to (we know the tip of the iceberg about the sex abuse but sadly, real truth and justice won't ever be served imo ). There will be lots of innocent (but presumed liars or crackpot) people throughout history.

In my opinion a lot of the women crawling out of the woodwork in the celebrities scandals were crackpots and liars looking for a fast buck from the gutter press.

[Mike E]

The Hillsborough scandal makes you think just why has safe standing not been tried? Fix the capacity as current seated capacity and refuse to use pens.

Surely it's that simple?

[Norbert Rassragr]

With modern tickets using bar codes and scanners it would be far easier to monitor capacity. And limit the numbers to how many fold up seats there are.

Ex mayor of Blackburn has now been suspended by Labour. Guido must be trawling through the social media history of hundreds of Lab councilors and MP's looking for anti-Semitic comments.

Zac Goldsmith up to some BNP copycat stuff. Using a picture from the 7/7 bombings to smear his mayoral rival Sadiq Khan as a terrorist sympathiser with no factual evidence. Absolutely shameless stuff is that.

The BNP used that same photo in 2005 in a local by-election and were widely criticised....

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

The thing is Rev, apart from a great deal for Olsson, the only departure was Rhodes (for a fee we were lucky to get and wasn't coming from anywhere else). Lambert wasn't given any cash to replace at the time so loans were the only way to go. What has transpired since would suggest that certain assurances were reneged on (the Myers resignation being a real pointer) and the owners have turned whatever taps they left dripping completely off. Result being that any plans that Lambert had were out of the window and he has bailed out as he can see the oncoming car crash.

You've certainly nailed your colours to the mast on Lambert but there's no doubt in my mind that your opinion is based solely on the fact he sold Rhodes. Your disdain for him has known no bounds since then.

The guy's a bigger prick than his dad was. He must be really worried to try that rubbish.

Absolutely disgusting K-Hod, its racism on a grand scale, in your face Tory tactics and yet they seems to get away with it?

Hardly a mention anywhere in fact.

Yet a man who has fought racism all his life is hammered on every news outlet in the country, what he said was stupid, idiotic, but nothing like what Goldsmith and his campaign are up to.

Possibly the weirdest story you'll read for a long time

Hamas have reportedly praised Labour and Corbyn. Not what Labour need going into the local elections...

Edit- Now they deny it, who to believe...

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Anybody really believe that the Labour Party is more anti-Semitic than the Tory Party ?

[Norbert Rassragr]

The Tories love Jews nowadays. Well, if they have billions of pounds to fund the party, or are able to sell shares in privatised assets to Tory mates on the cheap. Not sure about those with average wages.

[jim mk2]

Cameron was a disgrace in PMQs today. There is no level he will not stoop to.

[Norbert Rassragr]

What childish insults in order to avoid a question was he throwing today?

[Baz]

No, and I think you'll find far more people with intolerant views in the Tory Party too. However the Labour party is in such disarray that they have allowed the media to play them for the last week to the extent they are ripping themselves apart. The Tories would just continue to ignore the media questions if the position was reversed.

Incidentally why are the BBC ignoring the investigations into overspending in marginal seats in the lead up to the last General Election?

....because the BBC is a right wing organisation that toes the government line. It's also petrified the neo-liberal eye-swiveller and anti-BBC nutcase Whittingdale will get rid of the licence fee.

Not the part I heard concerning Labour's Mayoral candidate, Corbyn was definitely on the ropes. Worrying times for this Labour lot, levels of anti Semitism, pro Palestine, sharing public platforms with extremists etc.

Can't see Corbyn being around for much longer.

Which is a shame.

I don't think anyone could argue the BBC is in any way right wing. What are you banging on about? Certainly to the left of any other major news outlet in the UK apart from the Guardian and Mirror.

Just distraction tactics while our government cosy up to those wrong'uns in Saudi Arabia and pull our pants down in other ways. Bizarre that people still don't find it odd Zac Goldsmith was a patron of a disabled charity, then forced to step down as he voted for cuts to the disabled. Nice guy.

He's also come out with some outright lies about his mayoral rival. Absolutely desperate stuff. Shameful really.
