When Your In-Laws Voted Brexit | Ahir Shah's Life Lesson

[@thescarecrow.8581]

My ex girlfriend is Hindu. The first time I went to her parents home I felt like I was walking infront of a firing squad. Funny thing is ì ended up getting on better with them than I did with her. I think she used me to annoy her parents when I think back. Over 20 year on her parents still pop over for coffee and look after my dog when I am away. They are amazing people. Her Grandmother keeps telling me she has more granddaughters lol. I cant remember the last time I seen there daughter. Her Mother says about the break up I got custody of the her parents lol. It just proves how first thoughts of someone can be completely incorrect.

[@omarhasan2083]

Wow, this is a legit amazing story. Nice to hear you've adopted her parents lol. But seriously is nice that you guys are on such good terms still. :D

This is actually kind of adorable. Very pleased with the ending of this sketch, it's how things should be - the ability to communicate our worries and justifications behind our beliefs without it being misconstrued as or leading to anger, hatred or insult.

[@tayetrotman]

Indeed. The reason why we still have so many problems nowadays is because we’ve stopped communicating, stopped talking. Everybody is far too comfortable sticking in their echo-chamber of confirmation bias. We’re also far too quick to demonise anybody who opposes us.

Well that was uncharacteristically wholesome, unifying, & uplifting for political youtube. Maybe the site is becoming a gentler, kinder... [reads comments] OH FOR FU...

[@hughmck7734]

So speaking down to the 52% of brits who voted for brexit is unifying eh?

[@hughmck7734]

@PrimaryBufferPanel yes and for all but the final 10% of it the BBCs elitist disdain for brexit voters was in full swing

[@2490debrick]

@PrimaryBufferPanel And that dialogue is clearly putting words in Leave voters mouths and the spin to appease is still making it look like we're unintelligent and bigoted! It's rather harassing narsasistic and sanctimonious but it's something we've come to expect from the brainwashing machine and it's creepy zombie following!

[@matthewnevin9156]

I'm sorry but since when was race baiting unifying and uplifting?

[@tomlloyd2603]

People mad because they read the title instead of watching the full video.

[@2490debrick]

Yes because it's lefty spin! In an attempt to appease but it's just saying as per that we didn't know what we were voting for without putting words in people's mouths and making those words look either unintelligent or bigoted! Ironically Heseltine came up with this when arguing his coup to defrock Thatcher only a lefty pariah knows how. They used it again when Bercow joined the Tory s when we all know he's a Labour runt especially the creepy tactic of becoming speaker and then again to create the character David Grimes! Ironic really the average spouting lefty do-gooder is nothing more than a narcissist sanctimonious sack of perverse righteous hypocrisy! 82 of you too lol...

[@tayetrotman]

[@TheRhinog24]

The BBC are hugely biased towards the left wing. Don't act like you didn't know this.

[@fenhen]

@@TheRhinog24 I genuinely don’t think that’s true. Everyone accuses the BBC of being biased, but no one can agree on what the bias is.

[@TheRhinog24]

@@fenhen mate, on Frankie Boyle's show, that un-funny Scottish comedian - one of the jokes included the term 'kill Whitey', relating to killing white people. As a news provider and also the only reason that we have a TV licence fee in Britain, the BBC should provide unbiased news coverage with no agenda, when they clearly have a left wing agenda. The BBC are also known to be big Labour supporters and were advocates of Remaining in the EU.

[@fenhen]

@@TheRhinog24 “Clearly have a left wing agenda.” Except that they don’t. Do you genuinely believe the BBC were biased towards Corbyn? The BBC is not perfect by any means, but the reality is that being objective is actually impossible and the BBC do a pretty good job of not taking sides.

[@TheRhinog24]

@@fenhen The BBC is biased towards any Labour government. Have you ever actually watched the questions shows prior to a British election on the BBC? The presenter and most of the time, the audience are harsh as hell to the right wing politicians and give Labour/the Liberals an easy ride. The news presenters were on the verge of tears after the Brexit result was announced in 2016. Newsreader Huw Edwards officially 'liked' a Tweet for 'Vote Labour'. The new Director General stated as soon as he came in that the BBC had to reform.and this is due to the liberal/left wing/impartial agenda. I think I've gave you enough to go on here and it's all available to view. Just Google it

[@Icgamers4321]

Here's what never ceases to amaze me about PC culture & Brexit - neither Pakistan nor India are in the EU 🤔

[@MsPinkwolf]

It's funny isn't it. But the fact that there were people the day after the vote telling muslims to 'go home' gives an idea that they didn't have a clue what they were voting for.

[@Icgamers4321]

@@MsPinkwolf that's very true. The sad thing about all this is the far right have been given the oxygen to set the agenda about immigration. The older people in this clip talk about 'sovereignty' and tbh they're right. It's a shame that argument isn't more prominent in the mainstream

[@commonsense31]

You do know he was referring to “The Good Old Days” where UK ruled India.

[@Icgamers4321]

@Orion Lord that's as maybe, but they still have a voice and a right to be heard. Maybe the liberal left should be more embarrassed that they lost the argument to a load of 'dumb' people then. The remain campaign was pretty tragic IMO

[@Icgamers4321]

@Cardelle Cameron that is very true. It was quite shocking to see how many people felt they now had legitimacy to voice some pretty horrendous & vile stuff. But again, you can't say that remain lost simply because the other side are racists. It's much more nuanced than that.

[@rofrederick1751]

I have never thought particularly highly of people who were right wing but this video sends such an important message. I would hate people to think of me of being a socialist because I vote labour, or a banker because I’m Jewish. Stereotyping is stereotyping no matter what side it’s Corning from👍😬🙂

[@willmartin1033]

While I appreciate an obviously pro remain organisation trying to be conciliatory, the whole sketch is guilty of doing exactly what the younger guy accuses the older guy of doing when he praised his English. Despite trying to portray Brexiteers' motives as reasonable here, the BBC is still so disconnected from the non metropolitan middle classes that voted leave in large numbers that they don't even have a frame of reference to empathise with their views. To the BBC Brexiteers may as well be Martians and that is a huge problem for a national broadcaster that claims to be politically unbiased.
