UK Politics Thread X: Boris' Big Bonkers Brexit Bash

[Juristonia]

is this a fucking joke
are you fucking kidding me
if this is what you want
fuck you

The guy has been picking the worst possible solution to every problem raised in the last 200 pages or so.
At this point, I'd assume he's not taking anything particularly seriously.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Yes.



If it wants to be. As it turns out, it doesn't want to be, much like a great many other businesses.



All of those would be a net loss for the government.

We could make a profit by getting rid of minimum wage laws and making economic generation mandatory, everyone who isn't generating income ends up working for very little in poor conditions. This way we can solve our issues with the shortage of people taking up unskilled labour, which could result in a higher standard of living for everybody else. We'd attract so much investment that we'd become the next super-rich nation!

The delusion is soo real with you.

[Salandriagado]

Yes.

No we couldn't. That would entirely and completely collapse the economy and make a massive lost.

Taxation is extortion according to you, but forcing people into workhouses is perfectly fine. Your political opinions are incoherent, infantile and narcissistic.

I was responding to the 'nation is a business' comment, not seriously advocating that idea. If the nation was a business then it would surely be in its best interests to get as much out of its people as possible. Holiday pay and minimum wages and health and safety are very expensive.

There are many ways to respond to ludicrous ideas. This isn't one of them.

This is a *** seven day ban *** for flaming.

Chattel slavery was shit in the 19th century and it has only gotten worse.

So how do minimum wage laws and unions help the economy?

Both ensure that the profits from economic activity remain in the country and are actively spent, boosting tax revenues significantly, rather than fucking off to some offshore tax haven somewhere.

Obviously I'm commenting on more than one of your posts.

Given your misanthropic and downright malevolent posts in the past, is it any wonder that I really don't believe you? Hm? Is it?

The Home Office is fighting a legal case against a provision of the Good Friday Agreement. Specifically, the Home Office wants a woman from Northern Ireland to legally be a British citizen with an Irish passport, not an Irish citizen, so that they can deport her American husband from the UK. This would be contrary to the Good Friday Agreement, which allows citizens to identify as British or Irish or both.

Ol' perfidious Albion, at it again.

[Novus America]

And yet you wish to remove the choice of business model from business owners.

Is the country a business owner? If it is, then surely it should be ran for profit, yes? We can get rid of minimum wage laws and health and safety regulations and unions?

Why assume all businesses are automatically for profit?
Most non stock corporations are non profits. No HOA or credit union exists to exploit the maximum amount of money from its members, rather they work to make things better for the members.

If you treat you members like crap, why would anyone want to be a member?

An incomprehensible concept, for GVH.

Optimum inequality is NOT maximum inequality. If the people are dirt poor they cannot afford to buy anything. Consumption is low, and thus the economy does poorly. Ever heard of Fordism?
The idea is you pay your workers enough they can afford to but they products they make.

how is going with Brexit drama ?

It is not going. Parliament is paralyzed and shut down, and it is going to be delayed again.

lately I often read a little news related to the progress of brexit said by their Prime Minister that they will leave Europe on 31 October

If they do then there's a good chance that Prime Minister broke the law and may possibly be going to jail.

Except that would cause a Constitutional crisis because a Parliament voted to delay indefinitely until a deal is agreed on (which will probably never happen but that is besides the the point).

This kind of industrial serfdom is what got us into this colossal mess on the first place.

Humans do not exist purely to generate ‘profit’. They have souls and those souls, whether or not their bodily vessels show it or not, have intrinsic value. There are several fundamental flaws in the imposition of such a system but were it to be implemented we could very well be a rich nation that is fine and dandy for suited investors but would be a thoroughly miserable experience for the poor, as indeed it already is. It’s not entirely achievable but manufactory ought to create a working environment of social responsibility towards its labourers in return for high quality output. Workers are not servile cogs.

It takes two to tango: more Brexlaying isn't just a British decision.

And yes, I just made up "Brexlaying". You read it here first.

If they do then there's a good chance that Prime Minister broke the law and may possibly be going to jail.

Screw jail. It's the Tower of London, or off to the Tyburn tree directly.

The EU will grant unlimited extensions to avoid a no deal Brexit.

I sincerely hope they don't.

The Dutch could probably make a profit from the UK crashing out, which might incentivise them to say no eventually.
