I wasn't in an argument to be losing it, I jumped in on that comment, I have not abused anyone, I have not bullied anyone and for childish posts, see Two Proffessors.
But aside from that, tell me, honestly, where do you think the thick racists put there vote?
Not all remain voters were mindless idiots but I suspect that all the mindless idiots that remembered to vote were for remain.
The thick ones are those that are now complaining but could not be bothered to vote. If being pleased with the result makes me and 17m others thick, the I will take that.
Same of the really thick ones may have voted remain by mistake, or not found their local polling station

I'd be very surprised if many bothered to vote in all honesty. The vote was lost due to all the threats which were coming from the remain team. Which I may add is an extremely odd way to run a campaign. Maybe if they had gone for the positives there wouldn't have been this ongoing sore of a thread.

We all have our crosses to bear.
I expect most national politicians, bankers, Guardian Readers, people who feel unwell when they see an England flag or a white van, self-loathing liberal types .. voted Remain

You are ducking the question somewhat there, don't you think?

I suspect you are correct, and am able to discern that you are not suggesting that I am all, or any, of those things.
When someone suggests that thick racists voted leave, many leave voting posters on here seem to take that as a comment that they, or even all of the leave voters are thick racists, which to me suggests that they are maybe, a bit thick.

I doubt your sincerity.
If the 'thick' part was removed i'm pretty sure it would get less attention

Probably ashamed that we won 2 world wars as well

The only racist I know that possibly ranks as clever is Farage, I don't know for sure which way he voted, but my guess is leave.

Then that is wrong thinking,almost thick thinking,to assume that racists only reside Right of centre,but you knew this anyway.
Going back to the context of your question i would say the majority of that classification probably voted leave.

I don't know anyone who is ashamed of that. I know people that think the first world war was avoidable and that the tactics employed were callous and disregarded the cost in human life. I know people who are ashamed that we carpet bombed civilian areas in Germany in the second world war, but I have never met anyone who was not a bit of a Nazi themselves who thought we should not have fought Hitler and is unhappy that Allied forces won.
With war, reducing it to winners and losers ignores the damage done to everyone involved. There is a cost for the victors and the defeated, as there will be with Brexit.

From the comment you quoted, I am wondering how you are getting the idea that racists only exist right of centre from me?
If you are suggesting that by citing Farage and no other I have missed an obvious left winger out, who is it I have missed?
