No it isn't. Wanting controlled immigration like the vast majority of countries in the world is not racist. Sorry. Some seem to think even mentioning immigration in a debate is now racist. This is fuelled by delusions of holding the sanctimonious moral ground.

Unfortunately for your little conspiracy theory, the UK voter quickly disposed of the BNP and their ilk by ignoring them at the ballot box. The voter even ignored UKIP the second a referendum was called.

The UK voter isn't racist, this has been proven time and time again at the ballot box.

You look across Europe and our political parties that are getting voted in are like pussy cats compared to some that are getting voted in overseas. If you're looking for racism look further afield at our EU friends

Not surprising you are going in with this spin. Suffice to say your talking points are absolute bollocks which have been roundly dismissed by polling and analysis after the fact, so much so that it is not even an actual debate anymore, though politically suicidal to say, yeah they are fucking racists. Pro-tip if it has been established that your concerns over immigration are not economic but based on, lets say, "cultural", beliefs you are a good old fashioned xenophobe. Live with it. UKIP co-opted BNP positions and the Vermin co-opted UKIP positions.

Our EU friends actually have better electoral systems which allow you to see the true face of the electorate, not hide under a veneer of FPTP fuckery and pretend we don't have just as equal if not bigger racism problem in this country. But that is bye the bye.

I hope France or Belgium win the World Cup.

Tories have not offered to stop immigration not once. Neither did UKIP.

Good try though.

UKIP were basically a single-issue party, which was leaving the EU. The moment Cameron called that referendum their job was done.

As for UKIP never offering to stop immigration not even once:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/jan/07/ukip-ban-immigrants-nigel-farage

The UK Independence party is likely to go into the next election repeating its promise of a five-year ban on people coming to settle in Britain while immigration policy is sorted out, Nigel Farage has said.

But this conversation has shifted away from why people cheer against England (which is on-topic) into your alternate reality version of Britain which is very much off-topic.

Take your weird delusions to the UK politics thread here:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/uk...-government-no-coalition-of-chaos-part-2.572/

and you can continue telling us how Brexit and UKIP were totally not racist

Could you imagine if Italy qualified? Every other fucker would've been bringing up the bloody Roman Empire.

1) If you bothered to actually read the conversation you'd see that there actually was discussion about other European nations and their colonial past, and also why it gets brought up more often with regards to England.

2) I'm English you fucking muppet.
1. When France played Uruguay or when Belgium played Brazil, I didn't see their colonial history ONCE get brought up during their matches.

2.If you actually bothered to read, my post wasn't addressed to you or one individual. This may also come as a surprise you but you can be from a country and still be *shock* anti it. And my post wasn't questioning anyone's nationality. Seems like a hit dog hollered.

I won't bother going back and forth with someone who has to use profane insults when they clearly can't debate without becoming emotional. I'll leave you to your own devices.

Came in this thread for the first time for the hype and excitement and found a bizarre debate about the British empire being evil and hence the England team/ fans/ population being evil and racist.

Can we switch to football related discussion?

Is everyone excited for football to come home!?

Yes I am excited for the World Cup to come home, to France, where it was invented.

Welcome back mate. Our win on Friday was in your honour.

Oh shit, totally forgot to say congrats on the win.

The missus wants you to the World Cup, for what it's worth.

Italy winning 3-0? That really hasn't happened since the Roman Empire.

True.

"I don't care that you parked the bus, squeezed out a 1-0 win and bored us all to tears... you used to throw Christians to the the lions!!!"

If you ever need proof that this Empire shit is brought up just to antagonise people consider the fact that there are no Russians in this thread and no one talks about the Russia's gay concentration camps or the annexation of Crimea.

Holy shit this thread! I mentioned Stalin glorification as part of actual World Cup coverage on FOX Sports and was immediately reminded that this is football only thread. Is England a subject to tougher standards than fucking Stalin?!

I'm looking at the forecast for next week and it's all close to 30° again and I'm sick of it :p We are not used to this prolonged heat

Don't worry, now that I'm starting to get some confidence in my batting it'll rain all of next Saturday to stop me from scoring my maiden century.

Sport is the absolute fucking worst like that.
