    Default Brexit: Targeted canvassing in the north of England (UK)

    A curious thing happened today in case anyone is interested.

    A family member whilst watering there plants in a central city location observed a Labour councillor for the remain camp directing members of his team to only the houses of ethnic minorities, primarily India, Bangladeshi & Pakistani family homes.

    I would be interested to hear if this was a general trend if indeed anyone has paid any attention to habits & actions of canvassers.

    My family member was very taken aback by all of this and was quite put out that nobody took the time to try and engage in a debate with the other 70% -75% of the residents.

    What gives?

    All sorts of dirty tricks are going on, I'm sure. It would've been good if they'd filmed it on a mobile. Thanks for the information.

    I'm not seeing any electronic voting going on, at least in this photo. Which is a very good thing.

    Looks like they have re-set WWII, with the old 1942-43 euro/uk landmass situation, for the most part.

    I guess everyone wants to do a third round.

    One might argue... if others noticed this approach as well... that it's things like that, that can lose a campaign

    And with the migrant population being a very contentious affair, maybe some more fascism, with some nice fresh non-integrated slave labour.

    Strangely enough, all the pieces are there.

    Nah, I don't think it would work a second time..

    But those coincidental factors as parallels still remain.

    Third time's the charm?
