    Right wing rag banging on about working class and Brexit

    Brexit is the only way the working class can change anything | Lisa Mckenzie | Opinion | The Guardian
    If we leave the EU it will be the fault of the “stupid”, “ignorant”, and “racist” working class. Whenever working-class people have tried to talk about the effects of immigration on their lives, shouting “backward” and “racist” has become a middle-class pastime.
    Yes, there's a lot of Islington flabby Liberalism on CUK shouting the same things....

      That may or may not be true. Even Nigel Farage admits he has 'absolutely no idea' what will happen if Britain leaves the EU.

        Working class could gain the most if we restrict unfettered access to workers from outside the UK that is putting them on the breadline.

          The only people who benefit from immigration are the rich.

            But you have absolutely no idea if that access will be restricted. Maybe the UK will join the EEA. Even Nigel Farage has 'absolutely no idea' what will happen if Britain leaves EU.

              Yes, and also EU legislation designed to have level playing field for all EU members will be gone, so nevermind those paid holidays, overtime pay etc and welcome to kids digging coal in old mines.

                Maybe it will. Maybe it won't. But it will be for US to decide.

                  We could certainly expect the erosion of employment maternity rights.

                    There will be wholesale attack on working rights, that would cost working class most.
