Welcome back from the football. Apparently, the England manager has resigned.Anyway. My OH is browner than anyone in that picture. My son-in-law is from North Africa and is also at least as brown as anyone in that picture. Neither I nor either of them see it as anything other than a queue of people trying to move between countries.
Clearly we know as little about you as you do about the people you are blindly accusing of racism just because they do not see what you see in that picture, but the multi-racial (both immigrants by the way) view here is that you seeing that as racist seems to imply that you have a problem in some way with equality.
The picture is what it is. The people are people. They probably have very good complexions.

Like him or not he's probably the best leader about at present.

Or Davidson?

Boris Johnson is the sort of default choice now. I would prefer John Redwood or David Davis but I don't see it happening. Daniel Hannan has the calibre for it but not the experience.

Boris should put forward Davis as the leader, but he is probably too impatient for the top spot. He'd be a better foreign minister initially , though I imagine Osborne has eyes on that role.AJS- said:
You'd have to define better. I don't see how Cameron could lead the government through the negotiations for withdrawal. I also doubt that he would want to. Corbyn won't be leading the Tory party any time soon.

I would say that Daniel Hannan has exactly the experience to be involved in the Brexit negotiation with the EU, but I am not sure of his credentials to lead the country. He is way too honest when she sees something he doesn't like Boris Johnson is the sort of default choice now. I would prefer John Redwood or David Davis but I don't see it happening.

Keep digging. You are seriously demented if you believe that this family shares that view.
You do understand that prejudice such that you are spouting against people you don't know has a name?

It's his favourite subject, which makes one wonder if his psychobabble is his own diagnosis.
I'm generalising a bit here, but most students aged 18-24 voted/would have voted in (as far as I know), whereas soldiers in the same age bracket with broadly similar intellect almost unanimously voted out.
I wonder if this is because soldiers are racist. Or is it because they are more patriotic, have seen a bit of the world and have a more mature outlook than a student.
I'd be interested to hear (sensible) suggestions.

Some members of my family were described in my post, which you clearly did not read. To be clear, there is an Afro Caribbean, a North African and an Englishman here that completely disagree with your thesis and opinion you treat as the only true fact. I am sure we are not alone.
You sir (and I use that word in the loosest possible way) are a bigot, indiscriminately tarring a whole group of people with a label because they do not agree with your opinion on a bloody photograph.

He definitely has experience of the EU and he should be involved. I would love to think of Hannan as a future PM for the reasons you mention. He doesn't have any experience of running a government, dealing with the civil service or dealing with the level of media attention he would get.
It would be great to think of Hannan as a future PM, but terrible if he crashed and burned by jumping in now.

No pal. Listen to this for a bunch of facts in a row, especially the one at the end.When my OH arrived in this country at 7 years old, she was abused and cajoled because of the colour of her skin. There is no way that she would tolerate any sort of racism in a relationship, the type that she experienced, or the type of bigotry that you are displaying on the thread by blindly casting aspersions against all and sundry. She is the most beautiful and amazing lady who hopefully you will never meet, because you are just the type of bigot who we would all avoid.
The Tunisian son-in-law came to this country sponsored by this family three years ago after a two year and very expensive drawn out process. He is now a UK citizen, has made a massive success out of himself and has started a family, never claiming a penny in benefits.
I would say it is absolutely clear that I do not judge on race, religion, or unlike you, on my own narrow view of what someone should see when viewing a picture. You are a very sad excuse for a human being based on your posts on this matter.
