    I'm seeking no solace in the polls after the last General Election though I did wonder if Cameron's unexpected margin in the election was down to him promising a referendum if he was returned to Downing Street.

    I think the electorate decided that as Labour had lurched leftwards it was not fit to govern just as its previous excursions away from the centre ground during the 1980s kept the party out of power. I actually don't credit Cameron's electoral success on his promise to hold a referendum and when he made that promise (which he did only for party unity), he did so in the belief he would not be the Prime Minister after the 2015 General Election and therefore wouldn't be able to keep that promise.

    This man is a racist - I watched one of his videos but will never watch another.

    It may well be that he is a racist, but on this video he has only had a go at the EU, scoring some formidable points

    I'll bet he makes Islamaphobic comments somewhere in it.

    “It's okay to disagree with the thoughts or opinions expressed by other people. That doesn't give you the right to deny any sense they might make. Nor does it give you a right to accuse someone of poorly expressing their beliefs just because you don't like what they are saying. Learn to recognise good journalism when you hear it, even if it means overcoming your pride and opening your mind beyond what is comfortable.”

    Nonsense. He is a racist and there is NO excuse for racism - NONE whatsoever.

    I'm heading off to Wetherspoons for a pint and a curry soon:

    From the Daily Telegraph:

    Pub company JD Wetherspoon has printed 200,000 beer mats bearing a hard-hitting message arguing for the UK to leave the European Union.
    The beer mats will be available in the company's 920 pubs across the UK In the run-up to the June 23 referendum.
    The message draws attention to governance issues with senior staff at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and asks why UK voters should trust the views of its managing director, Christine Lagarde, who has voiced her support for the Remain group.

    Unless you happen to be one of Corbyn's loyal foot-soldiers, one of whom was re-admitted to the Labour Party last week following her suspension for making anti-Semitic statements.

    So if an Atheist made a video directed at the Asian Christian religions containing derogatory views of their beliefs, there could be some divisively racist views hidden in there even if its only aurally in your view?
    Some of the things that I have read on Filipino forums by atheists have made me wonder about them at times but at least I give them the benefit of the doubt.
    Mr Condell is no racist,even if you decide to label him as one,it couldn't be further from the truth.

    Here`s an interesting article about him... In his defense..by Anne Marie Waters.
