Rugby - No place for Hate Crime

Here in Rugby, Liberal Democrats were on both sides of the debate during the EU Referendum, however we stand side by side together to say hate crime of any kind will not be tolerated in our town. "We are proud to live in a diverse and tolerant society. Racism, xenophobia and hate crimes have no place in Rugby, either in our streets or online in social media. We condemn racism, xenophobia and hate crimes unequivocally. We will continue to work to ensure local bodies and programmes have support and resources needed to fight and prevent racism and xenophobia and would reassure all people from what ever background living in Rugby that they are valued members of our local community."

Tim Farron – history demands you step into the breach and ‘speak for England

The Liberal Democrats may be the one political force united enough to provide a liberal narrative of the Brexit protest. We need a clear voice to build a new nation It was 2 September 1939, a turning point in Britain's history and its relations with continental Europe. Nazi troops were advancing through Poland, and prime minister Neville Chamberlain was making a somewhat vacillating statement in the House of Commons, which appeared to be giving himself wriggle room to dodge his commitment to the Poles.

Press Coverage

National press coverage favoured Brexit 4:1 J

That's the conclusion of a detailed study of how the media covered the European referendum, carried out by the Loughborough University Centre for Research in Communication and Culture: National press coverage was highly polarised, with pro-IN papers emphasising pro-IN campaigners and arguments, and pro-OUT papers emphasising pro-OUT equivalents. In aggregate terms, this produced a 'coverage gap' of 60%: 40% in favour of OUT campaigners. However, when these differences are weighted by circulation, the difference extends to 80%: 20%.
