"It'll stop all of those brown people from coming over and most assuredly save us LOADS of money instead of us constantly having to support the rest of those other silly EU countries." ~ Some Boomer Brit, probably, circa 2019
Unfortunately, that's my dad.
The idiot claimed he didn't know anyone that Brexit would affect. Totally forgot his eldest son is living in central Europe.
What a melt my old man is.
There was a bloke at work who pretty much said that. And that he wants gold top milk back...
It's sort of backfired for idiots like that. The care homes and hospitals in my area now have a wider diversity of staff, the people these idiots don't like the look of. Brexit restricted the supply of the people they like the look of.
And still no gold milk I presume.
It's just so pathetic that we are living in the 2020's and the color of a person's skin is still such a issue for so many people.
Change is so painfully slow. I really feel that it will take the boomer generation dying out before any meaningful progress is made.
A lot of it is cultural and does/will get better in time. But there's always going to be pockets of these people unfortunately. My wife is from Asia and sadly the verbal racism is mostly from young people. I guess they just find it funny amongst their friends.
Hi, filthy foreigner here!
What's gold top milk?
Different colour tops for different types of milk. Gold top (cap) was the full fat milk which had cream on the top. Whether it's true or not I don't know but he said the EU banned it because of it's high fat content.
Much obliged.
