UK Politics Thread VIII—Can't Let EU Go

[Souseiseki]

Exactly right. When I hear Brexiteers moaning about the current course of Brexit, and I tell them about the various problems and how they would do it better, I am invariably met with "...um...well...ah...um...um...". "Yes?" I say to them, inquisitively. "...".

That is unfortunate. Most Brexiteers I know and hear of are very clear. Clean break on WTO terms, give the frog munchers the bow fingers and be on our way ho ho.

it's certainly a plan, with the small caveat that it would be an economic clusterfuck, never make it past parliament, be opposed by almost a majority/possibly a majority of british voters and cause constitutional issues in northern ireland.

still salty the EEA/EFTA cadre all died in a freak accident on 24 june 2016. i miss them. very tragic.

Sounds like a good way to create economic chaos, as it'd tank the economy to trade on WTO terms.

I generally disregard responses from Brexiteers that are nonsensical on the level of trying to save the patient by killing them.

Again, you are confusing anecdote with data. Just because no-one you know feels a certain way does not mean no-one feels that way, full stop.

That still isn't a clean break.

A clean break would that, plus the automatic repeal of any and every law even remotely influenced by the EU/ECHR/etc, plus automatic deportation of every EU citizen that has come over to work here.

Given that I've very genuinely started to believe that we need a major societal collapse and rebuilding in order to save the country, an economic meltdown might not be the worlds worst thing.

That would take months, if not years to deport all those.

And good, EU citizens that are not working there can stay?

[Souseiseki]

oof that would be a fun day

I find that the people who seem to wish most for societal collapse are the ones who are likely to be the first to meet an ignominious and untimely end in the new order.

Depends what form the new order takes.

Do you also want a return of the plague, and a major flu epidemic? Maybe an ice age? Raining frogs? Boils...

Some people just want to watch the world burn. Sure, they start out with reasons for it, but inevitably the burning becomes its own reason.

We do it the modern way, through global warming

A new poll out today says a majority (53%) want to Leave.

So much for THE TIDE IS TURNING.

Remainers on zueyzide watch.

Winners' rules dictate that any pro-leave poll has to be repeated once a page for the next 5 so our egos can be stroked sufficiently.

You do realise that the frogs won't all be Pepe, right?

One poll.

What's the current average?

Also nice to see you think we should treat suicide as a joke. How utterly disgusting.

The same as it was the day before. And the week before. And the fortnight before. And the month before. And the year before. And two years before.

A remain lead of 2-4%.

Also nice to see you think we should treat suicide as a joke. How utterly disgusting.

Don't make me chuckle

Meanwhile it now costs more to get the train from Manchester to London one way than it does to fly from London to New York return.

Literally what the actual fuck.

His creator made it so, once he saw the vile corruption inflicted upon his brainchild by the dregs of the internet.

Minister for Health Matt Hancock appeared in a two page newspaper ad endorsing private healthcare provider Babylon.

The man in charge of the NHS is promoting private healthcare.

That is just pure, unadulterated Tory.

For which he is accused of breaking the Ministerial code.

Is anyone surprised? Anybody?

I know it's the HuffPost. Currently, the only other source is the Daily Mail or the Mirror and I... I just can't

The actual cases of raining frogs usually involves dead frogs, so...
