Too many older people who voted for Brexit were "driven by nostalgia" for a world where "faces were white," Sir Vince Cable has said.

The Lib Dem leader said the votes of the older generation had "crushed the hopes and aspirations of young people for years to come."

The Lib Dem leader went to say too many older voters were driven by "nostalgia for a world where passports were blue, faces were white and the map was coloured imperial pink".

He also took a swipe at his own party's lack of diversity - it has had a lower proportion of non-white MPs and candidates than Labour or the Conservatives in recent years.

"Looking around the auditorium, we are very, very white," he told the party faithful.

Er, what to say???!! Is being white wrong? Clearly it is.. I sincerely apologise Sir Vince. It won't happen again.

That's because he's in the UK - a collection of white nations.  If he wants to see more brown faces then go be a politician in Africa.  What awful things must he think of Iceland, where 94% of the population are Icelandic and the rest are mostly Nordic or traditional European?

My preference is some sort of Crowdfunded action could be initiated, ideally by unhappy white Liberal Party members. They could buy the disgraced Cable a farm in South Africa, so he could quickly learn what it's like to be white and a farm owner there.

That's exactly the conclusion I came to reading that post Injera.
Cable virtue signalling at others expense whilst trying to make himself relevant.
No better than Abbotts comments that those who voted leave are racists.

I suspect many of the black people in the room weren't too happy about Cable's comments either. Idiots like Cable are always keen to play the race card to score cheap points. Abbott is another one. I consider them to be the racists. Ordinary folks just see people as people.

White shaming is a worry. Replacement theory. It's demonic.

alun mentions SA. Look how quiet our media is regarding the white farmers' plight. I wouldn't be surprised if Corbyn and Cable have pictures of Zouma and Mugabe on their mantlepiece.

'Shoot the Boer' Zouma sang at a political rally. And they do..well, they rape them first.Cry

erm, he's right.


You only have to look at the many, many posts referring to bulldog spirit, how Britain beat Germany in 1945 (and can do so again), the whole anti-immigrant sentiment that was encapsulated not in arguments about white Eastern Europeans but in Farage standing in front of a billboard of Arabic refugees and in a general unacceptance of Britain's place in the 21st century globe.

I know it may be unpallatable to some but he's right. A whole load of people had these ideas in their noggins when they were considering their vote and since.

Why is it so wrong to have pale skin? It's down to a lack of strong sunshine in the UK, that's all. There's nothing racist about it unless you want to call nature racist.
Report PorcupineorPineapple March 11, 2018 9:58 PM GMT
See, I like MPs being contrary and saying things that "the general public" don't like.

That's their job. We elect them on the basis that we think they're well equipped, can judge issues well and make the right decision. I don't want a politician who'll bend like a reed in the wind to whatever is currently seen as popular.

Our politicians should show the backbone to stand up and say things even if they think some people disagree. It's about convictions. It's about morality. It's about backbone.


The whole "this MP should be pro/anti brexit because that's how his constituency voted" is utter tripe that needs to be nailed. We live in a representative democracy where we employ these people to be - gulp - experts and to use their wisdom, learning and insight to reach decisions that most of us may not have seen.


Give me a politician who says something that he means but I disagree with over some muppet who says "the right thing" but whose heart isn't in it.
