There's nothing bad about it unless you count all the times it led to war, slaughter and genocide. But, if you feel that those are qualities worth pursuing, then by all means be xenophobic.
They are worth pursuing if you win.

From my History lessons at school I seem to remember innumerable conflicts where for various reasons people slaughtered their own brothers (nothing xenophobic there), be it in France, in the UK, in Russia, in the USA, and elsewhere.

I wonder which ones were more destructive...

No, not criminals, arseholes perhaps. However you should probably have more cogent and specific reason for not liking an individual other than just "you're foreign".

If I call you an arse, I can assure you it has nothing to do with your skin color.

Of course it's moronic. So is tarring millions of normal British people as racists with no evidence. Just sayin.

Anyways enough of that.

John, have you heard that aparently there are some In Hong Kong calling For a referendum to rejoin the UK, believing it will be easier to gain independence from Britain than from China In fact campaigners in Hong Kong have started a political party to lobby for a referendum.

Now that's a bizzarre twist, and obviously the CPC won't stand for this. Do you think there's any credibility to this? Is there any significant support for this in Hong Kong? I can't find any relevant polls.

Furthermore, if we take the party's reaction to even the smallest of slights or symbolic gestures by the ROC as an example, what will the severity of the response be to Hong Kong if this movement gains any traction?

The BrExit vote is pretty good evidence that the fourth turning is here and in full swing. I'm not mad at the millennials, they have no power, or experience seeing how bad us Boomers and Gen-X'ers really are. If the honchos in the UK had given one good god damn about the people left behind in their globalization efforts this wouldn't have happened. But, hey there was money to be made, so they made it, and now it is with shock and horror that the trampled masses didn't roll over and die in silence like they were suppose to.

Also worth noting that the furious millenials who so overwhelmingly care about and support the EU actually cared enough to wake up on a Saturday morning, put their phones down for a moment, and vote to the tune of around 36 percent total turnout for 18-24yo...Lol

On a related note has anyone caught the coverage of the militant left in London? A disgruntled coalition of “anti-fascists”, communists and anarchists with their faces masked have rallied in central London with marauding, violent gangs of “anti-fascists” keeping reporters from taking photographs or getting near the speakers. Also, at least one labour MP has called for the result of the vote to simply be "ignored"!

I imagine we'll be reading an article posted here tomorow about the violent, fascist, anti-journalist and autocratic tendencies of ALL those people who voted remain...... :roll:
