I do get a kick out of the idea that you think the problems in NI and Scotland were already there and that Brexit is just a minor contributor to them, rather than pouring gasoline on a fire.

No, and don't be a knob. I think blind loyalty to a political entity is pretty dumb, that's why i said what i did.

Flagshaggers aren't loyal to a political entity. A nation is not a political entity. It's an ethnic or cultural identity.

You're absolutely correct. And therefore saying I have an EU flag on my twitter account with #flagshagger is a perfectly valid argument too. You got me.

You're right about some people on twitter being pretty funny though.

Why don't you think "gammon" is racist? Do you have different standards for racism when it's against white people?

Let's assume black people turn purple when they're angry. Is it ok to call an angry black man "plum" or maybe "eggplant"? Not all black people, just those you disagree with politically.

The word "gammon" is a reference to skin colour. It's racist. Do you think people who call out racism are snowflakes?

You do realise that the Scottish referendum happened before Brexit, right? And you do realise that the trouble we're seeing in NI is, at least not yet, nowhere near as bad as Thatcher's days, right? These problems have been lingering for a long time. Brexit is obviously an important factor in what's happening right now, not "minor", but it's most certainly not the root cause. If our policy changed, regardless of Brexit, this would go a long way to solving many of the problems. If Brexit was literally the only problem, there would not be petrol bombs.

White people calling other white people names? How is that racist? I guess you have a point you wouldn't call a black person a gammon, but it's like black people calling each other the n-word, and then Jessie Lee Peterson calling them racists. Does not compute.

Brexit is obviously an important factor in what's happening right now

That's exactly what I said at the beginning. You then tried to argue it wasn't just Brexit and my response is ldo I never said that it was just Brexit.
