1. I don't believe Bruce is a racist.
Dude. You are crashing out. You're getting hysterical. Look at how unhinged your posting behavior is. Take a deep breath and read everything, from the beginning, with a clear mind. Then think about what you want to respond, formulate it, and hit reply.

Pardon the pendantry, but I believe it's warranted given the subject matter: It's non sequitur
And no, you can't say "nuh uh" as a defense of your faulty argument and handwave criticisms away. Racists work with foreigners all the goddamn time. Have you never interacted with a Trump supporter for example? Or someone voting Reform?
Also, as I mentioned: Steve has literally made racist remarks about people of colour. In print. So, once again: Your arguments are weak and don't hold up to scrutiny. No need to lash out, think of better arguments instead.
But hey, no one's expecting the pro-Brexit side to be able to form a coherent argument.
Also, lest you still haven't noticed: The majority here has outright stated that they don't think Bruce is racist or xenophobic, so stop shadowboxing with strawmen. There's grass in dire need of touching.
My Trump supporter example isn't a strawman. It's something that's happening all the time. Everywhere on the world. Racists work with foreign people all the time. Furthermore, one person being racist doesn't mean they are equally racist to every single ethnicity or race out there.
And finally, to illustrate this simple point: H. P. Lovecraft.

Racists and bigots are not know for being particularly intellectually gifted, educated or coherent in their worldviews. That's why me, and others here, have directly responded to you and mentioned the good old "you're one of the good ones" or the "I have a black friend" argument. Just because they tolerate or are friends with one individual, doesn't mean that they don't hold racist beliefs about the collective.
And because you keep ignoring factual information: Steve Harris has made racist remarks against people of colour in an interview that was printed. Yet we also know that he's worked with people of mixed heritage and so on. By your logic this shouldn't be possible.
Racism and bigotry most often stem from ignorance and fear of the unknown. Read up on Daryl Davis:

He actively befriended members of the KKK and managed to tear them away from their white supremacist views.
You also need to read up on cognitive dissonance in racists, which is by no means a new topic:
Again a total failure to address a simple point.
We live, in the UK at least, in a multicultural society. The vast majority of racists don't get the "luxury" of choosing who they work with.
People who trawl through the social media accounts of Maiden members' partners are quite weird in my opinion. Maiden are known for not seeking the spotlight or to be public figures, I don't care about their politics, their religion or any of their other persuasions insofar as they are separate from their musical output, much less the views of their wives and girlfriends.
Why are consevatives always so goddamn dense...
A pathetic attempt conceal a failure to answer a very simple point. You have lost the argument and try and shift the topic and think by repeating yourself that people wont notice that you dont have a leg to stand on.
Your claim is that a racist would not surround himself with foreigners. That claim is objectively wrong and one prominent counter example is enough to show that: H.P. Lovecraft.
