IMO those making these posts should reflect on this before posting again.
Why?
The person who is 'genuinely affronted' should simply stop reading those posts.
There is no reason for others to watch what they say, to effectively self-censor, just because we have an easily offended, over-sensitive person in our midst who doesn't like to read anti-EU comments.
I note that the person who is 'genuinely affronted' by the views of others and thinks they should be removed from his view has no qualms about insulting other members of the forum by describing them as xenophobic. He can hand it out but he can't take it!
We should discourage intolerant people from coming on to the Tea Shop, not run it for their benefit so they have a nice place to come to read bland opinions from others while they find it acceptable to hand out frank opinions whenever they want to.
PS. Brexit is wonderful. Up yours Junckers!
