"Is "indigenous" a racist word?"

Groan. We're not taking about uncontacted Amazon tribes, we're discussing a population that has as very varied and wide gene pool. For tens of thousands of years. In this context, "indigenous" is meaningless. Perhaps the alt-reich should use the term "white aryan fuckwits" instead to distinguish themselves from the rest of the human race.


"If not, please do not say that all leavers can be described by those soubriquets."

I think he is an idiot for abandoning the 48% to the likes of the Brexiteer hierarchy, who are proven liars. His decision to support reduced immigration is nothing more than a hamfisted populist attempt to please the xenophobes he lost to the kippers; we knew full well before the immigration provided a net gain in economic terms. As for being a little Englander, in his own way him (and many others in the left) are, but not because of the hankering for empire of the deluded 52ers, but because he believes in the sovereignty of parliament.

The real issue, and in answer to the OP is that no-one CARES any more about the integrity of our politicians anymore, they can lie (£350 million) and everyone gets on with it as long as the result is the one they want. Gove, Johnson and May are despicable people in a way, the epitome of the sort of people that hold our country back, narrow-minded and lacking in imagination.

That's not to say that Labour is any better, I don't think they are. Brexit has caused a tremendous rent win our society, and as for where this will take us, who knows? I have to say, I don't think the signs are good and I don't think that party politics is capable of providing the answer.
