Quote ="bren2k"As Will Self wisely said, not everyone who voted to leave is racist, but most racists probably voted to leave; there was a reason it made Mark Francois go even more gammon-hued than normal - because it was true.'"
I thought it was quite a sweeping and a rather strange statement from Self when he said it on Daily Politics as he obviously didn't know for certain as none of us do. I think he was just trying to wind Francois up and succeeded.
There was no doubt an increase in racists using the referendum result for their brainless moronic behaviour. But I just can't believe there are no racists in the remain camp that equally wouldn't do the same. I'm sure that if all the alleged Anti Semitic MPs in the Labour Party and alleged Islamaphobics in the Tory party all voted to leave we would have left the EU by now.
