UK Politics Thread X: Boris' Big Bonkers Brexit Bash

[Vassenor]

What's wrong with that?

You know exactly what’s wrong with it.

Aside from you apparently getting upset that people hold views different to you I'm not sure what the problem is.

It's the anthem of the Labour party...

At worst it's a partisan breach of parliamentary decorum and procedure to bring "party business" into the chamber, but not an outrage. Gauche maybe.

First of all singing in the chamber is deeply inappropriate but could be excused if some patriotic song were broken into in the wake of a national catastrophe. Second of all, it’s a song about revolution and hoisting a red flag. It has no place in Her Majesty’s Parliament.

All I'm getting from the latest week is that: Brexit > The right of denizens within the borders of the United Kingdom to not fucking starve. I mean at that stage you are a mere few steps away from DPRK. <.>

Why doesn't Britain grow more food locally instead of being so dependent on food imported from halfway around the world? I think that is part of the real issue here. There needs to be more investment in British agriculture to make the country more self-sufficient.

The UK is mainly located on a hilly and rocky island that's barely the size of the US' East Coast and has a population of over 60 million.

Gee, IDK, why don't they just grow their own food?

[Vassenor]

Turns out prorogation was unlawful.

I mean, she's the one who suspended the Parliament to make getting a no-deal Brexit easier, which would lead the country into a recession, give the rich and powerful (Like herself and Boris' backers) plenty of time to swipe up depressed stocks, bonds, real estate, etc... while leaving the average person even worse off then before.

I don't think some people singing in Parliament is that big a deal comparatively.

It's not about revolution. You're so neck deep in anti-socialism that you think socialist imagery is about revolution. It's the anthem of the Labour party, a democratic socialist party, zero of the lyrics are revolutionary.

We really should put Johnson in the Tower.

[Philjia]

Turns out prorogation was unlawful.

But only according to Scotlands highest civil court, so they'll almost certainly have to go to the supreme court for the ruling to stick.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

Turns out prorogation was unlawful.

Surely if one court has said it's lawful and another has said its unlawful, what you should be saying 'turns out legal opinions are mixed.'

Edit: actually, upon reading the news story, I got it wrong. I thought that it was talking about separate lawsuits.

[Zhivotnoye]

No, yet solely pointing at people such as them implies as such.

So basically you're getting upset that I'm pointing out that the people in power pushing for no deal might not have your best interests at heart.

Not upset at all, just pointing out you seem biased.

[Ostroeuropa]

A higher court overturned the ruling that it was legal, and now it'll go to the supreme court

Yeah I thought that it was different lawsuits, one in England and one in Scotland.

[Vassenor]

Not upset at all, just pointing out you seem biased.

And your evidence of bias is that I point out facts.

[haughty southerner noises] the supreme court can make a real decision after being advised by the tartan sandbox test server.

[The Greater Ohio Valley]

Entirely relevant, because if there’s little to no benefit in leaving then why leave at all?

But maybe, just maybe they should leave because the people made their wish clear and the government vouched to respect it?
Here begs the question, are you so much of a capitalist that the people of a country don't matter anymore?

They should only leave when they have a clear, concise and reasonable plan of action in place and if they can't do that then in EU they should stay.

Your begging of the question would be more relevant if I was a capitalistic as you seem to be implying, which I am not. I'm simply a person who recognizes that Britain leaving the EU, especially with no deal, would be a significant detriment to the UK and British society as a whole.

[Salandriagado]

What a fucking outrage, MPs singing the ‘Red Flag’ in parliament.

You realise it's sung at the end of every single Labour party conference, right? It's literally the party's official anthem.

God Save the Queen contains explicit references to killing the Scots. But that's perfectly fine apparently.

[Ifreann]

How much of that was for farmers to not produce food?

Wouldn't it work better for the UK to pay farmers enough money to support themselves, so they could grow more food and export it really cheaply and drive farmers in other countries out of business?

I thought taxes were extortion. Now you want to outspend the entire EU?

---

Paying people not to work sounds like the least Tory thing I can imagine.

Very parliamentary, and I've been repeatedly assured that the Tories are the natural party of government.

Nonsense, parliamentarians work very hard.

Parliamentary privilege, tho.

Feigning outrage doesn't suit you.

Very mad that I don't live under a regime so tyrannical that people fear to express different political opinions.

And I think it's a disgrace that our national anthem is about wiping out part of the nation.
