This Won't Help Fill the Hotels (Fairly Graphic Content in Link)

I think a lot of the increase in reports of hate crime can be attributed to the fact it's now so easy to just go on-line and make a report. Prior to True Vision and hate crime apps people had to pick up the phone or go into the police station.

Don't get me wrong - hate crime is awful be it race, sex, weight or anything but it's always been there and I do believe it's now easier to report it than ever.

Calling someone fat, ginger, ugly and many other things is now classed as hate crime. I'm sceptical that the increase in these incidents has also been fuelled by brexit to be honest.

Turkey must be prepared to lose lots of British holiday-makers next year. Prime Minister Theresa May has said the UK must boost post-Brexit tourism by British people holidaying in the UK - on "staycations". So, obviously, all those Brexiteer-types will feel morally obliged to go to places in their own country. Which part of our lovely country did Theresa go for her holiday? The Alps - they're in Scotland aren't they?

On that basis I guess all the remainers will feel "morrally obliged" to holiday in Europe?

Ok Stoop. If you feel you can't go to Portugal again I'm happy to make up the numbers. I'm going twice in the next 6 months (once to Portuguese Madeira) - even though the post-Brexit pound is rubbish. Oh dear, there I go doom and glooming - or being realistic as some call it.

There you go again assuming that brexiters actually voted to leave Europe! No Colwyn it's only the EU we want to leave. I'll be in Portugal as normal this year and every other year - and I'm more than willing to take the exchange rate hit

I haven't got the faintest idea what the Brexit folk thought they were voting for or against. Was it immigration? Or was it about "sovereignty" (whatever they thought that term meant in the 21st century)? Or was it a protest vote? Or did they want to damage the UK economy so "They" (whoever They are) would suffer? Or did they just get up feeling grumpy that day?

OMG I can't believe what I have just read from Colwyn about the so called "typical Brexitier", I for one won't be told by anyone where or where not I go on holiday, the same reason I voted Brexit because I don't want to be dictated to by the EU on what we can or can not do in our own country as I have great faith in our country and believe that we are strong enough to stand on our own two feet.  Your comments Colwyn are "typical Remainer" all doom and gloom.  A lot of the people who are staying at home this year are people who are too frightened to go to Turkey, Tunisia and Egypt and has nothing to do with Brexit.

[Colwyn]

It wasn't me telling you to holiday in Britain. It was the Prime Minister. Typical.

I didn't say you, I said anyone.
