Exactly. See-saws are for kids; grown-ups should know better.

Ace, now it's the Remainista that are the racists.

Would anybody like my passport? I am bored of being British.

I think it's highly unlikely that the lady weighs the same as the man.

He also has an unfair advantage as you can clearly see he can stand up while she's still off the ground.

So, not wanting to be ruled by an unelected elite makes you a racist?

Its this sort of doublespeak that proves how out of touch with reality a lot of our "great leaders" are.

No but neither is Australia which doesn't stop my brother (a dual national) from voting. Or his wife, originally Yugoslavian then Croatian then British and now Australian (tri-national) Or my nephew. Who hasn't lived in the UK since he was 12.

This latest outrage confuses me. It's a campaign aimed at urging non-whites to vote. It is not a campaign designed to make them vote one way or another. So I fail to see how this is an example of 'dirty tricks' by the Remain camp.

By suggesting that they will balance out 'a particular type' who they are suggesting represents Brexit.

If you can't see what is implied in the imagery used, then I can't help you.

How are they suggesting that? I'm genuinly confusd here. Unless Brexiteers self-identify with the white thug then I'm stumped. It's a campaign to urge them to vote. That's all. Yes, the 'white thug' is a bit OTT, but it doesn't say anywhere that the thug votes for Brexit.

What does the imagery say to you? Do you think that Brexit voters are white thugs? I don't.

Yeah yeah. Of course the person who wants to stay in is the crew cut, aggressive, face contorted, white tee shirt, braces wearing thug..

NOT

He looks more like a BNPer to me. Which is what is intended. No, I cannot prove it as I don't have access to the meeting notes that were taking when the decisions to use the imagery were made. So you can believe what you want, and I won't argue with you. .

I'd say the woman on the left is more representative of a Leave voter. She's older (it's been shown that older people will vote leave) and non-European (so may see Brexit as an opportunity for more immigration from the Indian sub-contintent). Therefore the thug must represent Remain. Ergo, I should be offended.

Or maybe it's just a campaign to encourage people to use their vote, however they please to use it?
