UK Politics Thread X: Boris' Big Bonkers Brexit Bash

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

At this rate I would rate the current British administration insane and power-hungry enough to do just that. <.>

I think the fault would then fall on the European Union for cooperating with a leader who is clearly acting against the law and constitution of his own state.

In a weird way, it's pretty fitting. The USA is being run by a reality TV star and has turned their politics into one big reality TV show. Meanwhile in Britain though, we've decided to turn our politics into a soap opera, long running and getting more silly as time progresses, yet lasts for years and has no end in sight.

Meanwhile China's opted for a horror movie and the continent has gone for a Saturday morning cartoon.

It's equally funny and depressing that Emmanuel "Jupiter, King of the Gods" Macron is presently one of the more sober and reasonable-seeming leaders amongst the G7.

It would not require EU action, though. The loss of UK membership would be automatic. That’s why stalling is such a good tactic, because if everything ground to a halt everywhere, Brexit would still happen"

The EU can’t unilaterally extend Brexit though. If BoJo doesn’t ask for an extension then the UK crashes out

By crashes out, you mean leaves in an orderly fashion with a no deal?

[Salandriagado]

You are an interesting individual GVH

Are you saying you don't want politics to be interesting?

Fuck no.

After years of austerity, what public services are left that can be cut without people dying as a result?

We passed that line fucking years ago.

*Bangs head on table*
You really don't understand people who are not as rich as you, do you?

People still go on holidays, don't they?

Personally? No, not in five years or so.

Why not? There are lots of lovely places to go in the world, why don't you go to them? Britain is rubbish in the summer compared to some of them.

Leaving without a deal will almost by definition not be "in an orderly fashion."

You know perfectly well why some people can't go on holiday. To be honest with this post you've well and truly crossed the line from insensitivity into outright cruelty and malice.

Which is why Macron is the Saturday Morning Cartoon hero, who every week has to deal with some new enemy that crops up out of nowhere and threatens all that is good, but is dealt with along with his trusty sidekick Merkel and the rest of the EU squad.

You do realise that that Chinese saying about interesting times is meant to be a curse, right?

Nope, I'm done.

Only 10 % less.

For an average person, that's roughly a 200 calorie/day deficit. That's roughly an ounce of weight loss each day. That results in death after ~3 years.

Has he dealt with his approval rating? It's still at 34 %

I am a moderator on this site. You won't like what happens when I start to give in to the urge to press buttons.

I don’t think that OT, who is a diehard unionist mind you, would want to press a button that says “End the UK now”

Depends what you eat. I could easily make a 10 % saving in what I buy because I spend a lot of money on food.

Do you have access to the one that lets me make my nation pretitle longer like a lot of mods use?

Not really, no. Unlike you, I directly work with people who are likely to be the hardest hit by the crisis it will probably cause and I don't enjoy watching people suffer. Watching stuff burn for shits and giggles is always a more inviting prospect when you're far away from the fire.

To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if this whole fiasco ended like this.

No, because that's not a thing, as you yourself have admitted repeatedly.

Eh, that's become the norm for French presidents. Francois Holland and Nicolas Sarkozy have entered the chat.

My life has been simultaneously much better and far worse for knowing that this exists.

The Lords are planning to filibuster the bill if it passes.
