KDM":1nu0r21n said:We saw the same with Brexit. Minority groups, and I do not mean just racial, sexual, green etc etc have convinced themselves they are the majority. After a while the real majority feel they are constantly overlooked and made to feel anything they do/say is labelled as racist, sexist, xenophobe etc just for having a different view to that self proclaimed liberal elite.
So when a vote is available, the silent majority flex just to remind everyone they are the majority after all.
I saw a cheeky article about Farrage becoming an American citizen and then the American ambassador to the EU Them cheeky reporters.

Even I 'laughed' at the Beeb this morning when they said this was a shock. Didn't they and the rest of the polling firms learn anything from Brexit?
2016 has been one of the worse years in my lifetime. A majority Tory government, Brexit, Trump, Bowie and Prince dead. As a mate said in my news-feed this morning, the 2016 end of year review should just be a giant shit on a rotating cake-stand.

Mike Muz 67":3ffqbol1 said:I know he's easy to forget, buit there's one R in Farage! Remember him? The one who spouted off about President Obama having no right to come over here and express his views over Brexit, before going to the U.S.A. to campaign with Trump.
