UK Politics Thread X: Boris' Big Bonkers Brexit Bash

[Ifreann]

Problem is that the only way we can make Brexit work now is by being Trump's bitch, so apparently we're not allowed to criticise how the US forces us to do things.

This is why I suggest that Brexit supporters should give up on free trade agreements and support isolationist autarky instead.

Then you'll run out of Mars bars.

2022: Sex slavery and medical testing in service to the water barons finally secures clean drinking water for all!

2025: Okay, so there's a chance things didn't go quite as planned. But look on the bright side, there's still electricity between the hours of six and eight in the evening.

At least Corbyn isn't in power.

2028: So letting the nuclear industry enforce its own regulations in place of established EU led policies may have gone a tad wrong, but I'm told that most of the south west should be inhabitable again by the end of the century.

2016: Will the UK build closer links with the Commonwealth?
2019: Will the UK still exist?

Lies and manipulation being discussed by the tow least trusted professions in the UK.....almost like they’re self serving manipulators.

Also, all the worry about how being outside the EU will destroy the UK, while most of it is fearmongering by a metropolitan elite who think they know best, there’s also a reason the UK has historically opposed a European continent spanning power, be it under Napoleon, Germany, Nazis or the Spanish. But successive governments have let Europe go down this path of ambiguous federalisation with all its back room dealing and opaque appointments to positions of power.

That’s not good for you. The more people know about it, the less likely it becomes.

2030: Turns out it wasn't the last potato. The last potato was dug up earlier this year by a serf owned by a faction known only as The Skullfuckers.

The potato has been crowned king of the Skullfuckers.

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

It brings government closer to the people being governed if nations are smaller.

Why?

It brings government closer to the people being governed if nations are smaller.

And why is the government being closer to the people desirable?

[Greater vakolicci haven]

It makes it harder for them to ignore regional issues.

[Fartsniffage]

That would actually be an interesting idea for a change to rules regarding putting together a government. Make it so the cabinet must represent each region of the country equally. And if you have no MPs in, say, Scotland, then tough, you've got to appoint a member of a different party.

[Kowani]

It makes it harder for them to ignore regional issues.

But says nothing of their capability to deal with said issues.

We fined Facebook £500,000 over the Cambridge Analytica data breach. The US fine them $5 billion. Though the recent fine for BA for a data breach is encouraging.

I wonder how much of a significant income generator for governments fining firms for data breaches will become.

Unless the countries that were created were absolutely tiny (peoples republic ofRochdale and Heywood etc), why would that be an issue?

Hopefully not one so significant that governments start creating rules so that they can fine people, and not so significant that it throttles new businesses.

Wouldn't want people's privacy getting in the way of business.

I don't think £500,000 throttled Facebook particularly.

Well, defence for one. The reason America can field such an overwhelming military is because they have a large economy so the R&D for something expensive like a nuclear submarine is lower per unit since they have so many. Where the UK and France have to pay a larger amount of their relatively small defence budget for a smaller overall deterrent. If Europe was truly serious about being more independent from America, a good example would have been European subsidies for a joint British/French nuclear submarine fleet with a European nuclear umbrella allowing America to focus more on other threats.
