Thank goodness I'm not a member of UNITE....

16. I was responding specifically to your remark

'The problem is, there's no way to fight to keep Britain in the EU that isn't elitist and antidemocratic. And there's no reason to think THAT fighting to stay in the EU would result in anything but UKIP staying in business and continuing to gain votes in the North and Northeast of England.'

This is why I brought up the EU.

The right-wing media are absolutely gung-ho in their propaganda to suppress dissent about the EU, and about immigration and refugees, by smearing anti-Brexiters in precisely these terms as elitist and anti-democratic; and for example calling judges who insisted on a parliamentary vote on Brexit as 'ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE'. They are indeed intimidating many Labour politicians as well as almost all Tory ones. I know that you are not in this country, and cannot be expected to be aware of some of the implications and origins of certain debating points; but you - no doubt inadvertently - used the same arguments that our RW media are using to suppress dissent; and that is what I was protesting against in my posts.
