I'm not stretching anything. If you want to talk about Brexit, the majority voted out, that is all what matters. There is nothing "alternative" about my facts.

I'm not stretching anything. If you want to talk about Brexit, the majority voted out, that is all what matters. There is nothing "alternative" about my facts. France will be next. Good luck telling the vast majority of the native population (because they are going to to be the ones voting for Le Pen) is racist. Your words have no meaning. Poland, eastern Europe doesn't want mass immigration from Muslims countries either. Look at what is happening it Czech Republic, Slovakia. The whole EU deal reminds them too much Soviet Union. The last "liberal" people are mass media, journalists, and Silicon Valley bubble that ignores what is happening around other people.

> I'm not stretching anything. I've just explained how your comment stretched the truth to breaking point. You're welcome to continue denying it, instead of actually defending your position. > There is nothing "alternative" about my facts. These are some of the claims you've made that are verifiably and undeniably wrong. 1) Your claim to speak for "the people" is untrue, because in fact your opinions are only shared by some portion of a slim majority. 2) Your claim that "1.1 million people and since we have free movement in Schengen, it affects everyone" is nonsense, because (a) only a miniscule portion of those refugees will leave their country of asylum (where they have food and lodging) and travel to where they have nothing, and (b) the UK isn't even in the Schengen zone. Notably Germany's economy is doing very well having taken in 1.1 million refugees. 3) Your claim that EU institutions aren't democratically formed is obviously nonsense. You might not like the way they're structured, and fair enough, there are issues, but they most certainly are formed democratically... a mixture of direct & representitive formation. 4) Your claim that there's nothing racist about wanting to reduce immigration is clearly untrue. UKIP is disproportionately racist, according to YouGov data. This is where you deflect from the fact that you're peddling falshoods by saying that "the UK voted to leave and that's that" and walk off in a huff.
