'€˜White Men' Are The Problem, Says Leading Anti-Brexit Politician
2016-06-05
[Daily Caller] A leading politician and campaigner to keep Britain in the European Union (EU) told a rally "white men" are a problem and fellow campaigners should focus on women and young people.
People like him then fail to understand why white men won't vote for them...
The UK will vote on whether it wants to remain or leave the EU for the first time in 40 years June 23. The Labour Party’s shadow Europe Minister Pat Glass embarrassed the "Remain" campaign Wednesday instructing pro-EU supporters to ignore older, white, male voters who are more likely to vote for Brexit.

"Speak to your mother, your grandmother. Don’t speak to your grandfather, we know the problem are older white men," Glass told an audience in Wolverhampton.

A Labour spokesman brushed off the comments as a joke. "It was a light-hearted comment and it was received in that way by the audience," a spokesman told The Express & Star. "Labour are clearly fighting for every single vote and are of course encouraging everyone to vote to remain on 23 June."
They think they can do that and still insult white men...

From other reports, it's not the first time Ms. Glass has traipsed down that path.
