Yes, but do you mean legal power, political power, military power? I didn't say what the power was for, but what sort of power it was.

The petition was started by a Leave supporter, but that's about it. Bunch of people on the thread argued about Islam for a while, and out of boredom we're currently devising how a devolved London & Co might work and what it would be called.

Oh, and Farage wants to fire Mark Carney because he wasn't pro-Brexit enough.

My mum (who works for DWP) still doesn't quite believe me that I believe that a number of employees with the agency I worked at sacked off work on the result day to celebrate.

I admit I have no evidence whatsoever - it's just a series of logical inferences.
Though on results day in the canteen at work, there seemed to be a lot of balanced discussion occurring and even much more Remain sentiment (or at least, anti-Leave but non-voting due to misinformation and mistrust) than I anticipated.

ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

I must admit, it's been hilarious. Breakfas- Brexit was the most enjoyable thing I've witnessed in a good while where politics is concerned.
Saw this political compass thing on other people's sigs. Did mine:
Economic Left/Right: -1.5
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.64

Apparently that means I'm roughly one half of a Gandhi. I will now proceed to destroy everyone in Civilisation roughly half as much.

Those attacked and threatened by the more malevolent Brexit supporters in Great Britain because of their perceived lack of whiteness and/or Britishness probably don't agree.

And maybe also do something by the increasing number of racist and xenophobic incidents caused by celebrating Brexitians.

Oh, I dunno. Now at least they have seen the ugliness. It is out in the open. So them becoming refugees would be understandable.
ANd the best part: many of THESE refugees actually truly have degrees and usefull skills. So finally Europe will get that influx of doctors and engineers it was promised.
