msm have been reporting the "possible" 300 or so racially motivated attacks since the out vote.
i'm not trying to say there hasn't been any, or even a rise in them, but isn't this a bit irresponsible of them to report on these when I would probably guess right they haven't been proven yet?

As we saw with the petition for a 2nd ref, it's easy to skew things to cause friction, make people seem guilty or feel so it would be easy for remainers of the mind to go out and do this knowing that it would cast a shadow over proceedings and make out voters appear to be raving racists.

surely the media know this and you would have hoped they would report accordingly. Or is this what they were hoping for, to get people agitated?

If people are agitated and worried about what's going on they are more likely to click on the story or better still buy a paper. No one is going to buy a paper that says 'everything is well in the world today'. Media is driven my money no matter the cost or impact on the country.

Like this daft thing amongst the kids of wearing a safety pin. Yet some of the same people have hurling abuse at the elderly generations.

idiots no doubt by its a agenda on msm that in the matter of a few days, the fascists are growing by the minute when in reality it is like its always been a tiny fraction of the uk.

This is a worry. Tony Blair could be UK's Brexit negotiator?

Would anyone trust Blair? The left despise him over Iraq and the right know he's pro EU.

I personally don't think he's the worst (depending on how you come to an assessment of 'worst') but he has definitely become the most unsuccessful.

once he got into bed with George W Bush, everything he did achieve as labour leader has been forgotten, as he is now remembered as the prime minister who told us a pack of lies as regards to weapons of mass destruction, causing the deaths of innocent civillians of all age groups, just so dick cheney the real brains behind bush, could invade Iraq and take the heat away from 911, whose narrative was unravelling about what truly went on, that and the Dr David Kelly report is sadly for blair what we will remember him for, not as the only man in labour party history to win 3 consecutive general elections, now we wait for the chillcott report to destroy his legacy completely.
