It's a fucking banner. A banner stating your supposed political affiliation or some other opinion wouldn't have any effect on your life.
I hate politics on any level, but I'm aware there are bigger things to worry about than whether an opposition fan, who I've never met (and likely never will) believes that I support a few inoffensive words written on a banner held aloft by some of my fellow supporters.
People just need a reason to moan.

If I got a banner and said 'We don't want refugee's', I would probably get sent to prison...
I don't have an opinion on it either way, but it's the same principle.

So what if the banner said something you didn't want to be associated with. Banners are fine if an individual is brandishing it outside where people can see who is holding it and can then choose to be associated with it. |

The last election proved that a party with a left-leaning, anti-austerity agenda is the only thing that can stand up to the conservatives. If Labour had been true to their roots they would have kept the Scottish seats and had a good go in England too. No one voted for them because they are just Tory-lite and no real alternative.
It proved no such thing. The notion that Middle England will support a far left-leaning Labour Party over the Tories simply because the Scots kicked out the Labour party is an absurd extrapolation. There is no proof either way but the historical evidence of the previous 7 general elections suggests completely the opposite. Why should an electorate that rejected Foot, Kinnoch and Brown but supported Blair in their millions support Corbyn? It is this kind of wishful thinking that will keep a Tory government in power for the foreseeable future to the detriment of the very people that the left claims to care about. |

In mathematics, extrapolation is the process of estimating, beyond the original observation range, the value of a variable on the basis of its relationship with another variable. **disclaimer** This was a google search and not off of the top of my head.. |

A YouGov poll at the weekend, found a majority for the first time in favour of leaving the EU.
I can see Cameron trying to wriggle his way out of this rather than hold a referendum.

Cameron made a political decision to hold a referendum; he didn't make the decision expecting to lose. If the referendum was held this week he would lose, therefore it's not beyond the realms of possibility, there may be a delay or similar. |
