I just watched the beginning of it... well if Britain joined the EU ONLY with the condition of having right of veto about laws which were against its interests that means it considered itself above the other countries... in this case better to stay alone. When you join a community the whole is primary to the individual, like what is benefit for the country may be not benefit for a particular individual, so the citizens of a country must give up part of their freedom for a greater and spread advantage to the majority of the citizens, and this is how democracy works.
As far as one can feel reading the newspapers nobody in Europe is glad about EU politics and choices, still as long as there are advantages they stay in the union.
I have seen brexit from outside and I had the impression that the immigration policy was the primary reason for leaving. Of course there must be other and older reasons apart from that...
You can't always go by statistics, as there's a tendency for some people to report normal free speech and expression of opinions as "hate crime" and then blame it on Brexit.
BUT there may well be an increase of offences against the particular group you mention, as they're very much hated by some of the M people and their supporters, as well as the usual neo-N mob.
PC means 'politically correct' - what the liberal-lefties allow you to say in this country that once upon a time had freedom of speech. So 'non-PC' means 'not politically correct'.
For example, you must not use the words 'dumb' or 'idiot', because they are supposedly offensive to people with disabilities. Just as you must not call a manhole a manhole, because it is sexist, and must use a gender-neutral term such as 'person-hole'.
Ah, no need to explain! found it in the dictionary on line: non-politically correct, damn those acronyms, they are turning the language into an abstract thing... well I can afford to be non-PC towards myself... (:-) Good night I'm going to switch off the PC (not in the previous meaning...)
Yes, it seemed a joke to start with, but it's becoming very dangerous, because free speech is being strangled and people are scared to voice their own opinions for fear of losing their jobs or being arrested.

That is just what I wanted to know, i.e. who are those people? We have fascists and Neo-nazis too here but I I don't know what "M people are?

Both expressions very non-PC.
Skipper replied to Isisbridge:
By the way what non-PC means?

That's surely a good Joke!
What about "Personhattan (for Manhattan) or Personchester (for Manchester)?

Here is a brilliant cartoon that explains it in terms of 2+2=5.
