    BREXIT

    I mean, it's Public Relations, right? It's MAGA for the the English. Nobody actually wants any of that Imperial noise. They just want to hearken back to when Churchill could be a racist, and they could beat their wives, safely assured that their chaps running the empire will keep things...

    "And we're sure another quick war with Argentina is absolutely out of the question, are we chaps?"

    BREXIT

    OK, fair. He didn't invent this boogieman, but choosing that subject to amplify and use as a rallying call says a lot. I had assumed that he was a reasonably intelligent technocrat type, centered himself around money, had a vague disdain for the poor, but wasn't an actively vile person. A...

    BREXIT

    Godwin's Law aside, isn't this invention of an imagined not fully human enemy in order to generate and focus hatred, thus distracting from real current problems, a defining tactic of certain political movements? This is where the Conservative Party under Sunak is now? Suela Braverman, Priti...

    BREXIT

    Suddenly the idea of Yevgeny Prigozhin taking care of someone in a basement with a sledgehammer doesn't seem as distasteful as it did before.

    BREXIT

    thing is this is still a Daily Mail type headline. That money isn't going away, it's just getting moved around a bit. When people get all grumpy about governments paying for stuff, it's playing games, the rules aren't the same. They're scooting money around, but it's staying in the country...

    economic cost to the UK of deportations to Rwanda Seeing as they are clearly so keen to get nasty foreign things off their island, I'm guessing the museums will be eager to return the items they took from oversees too.

    Right? I should write a book outlining things, and give it a short catchy name.

    BREXIT

    Yeah. I'm not sure all of it deserves to be unpacked either. The reason behind the UK being in Europe isn't anything I'd question. It's obviously the right choice. I'll say something else that's possibly shitty and obnoxious though, the argument what does Ireland do if the Germans decided to...

    BREXIT

    I don't think we're going to see them back. I know that in polling they keep seeing numbers suggesting the majority want it, and if you interact with English lads they'll likely say it was a terrible decision altogether. shite talking ahead:) ( I'm not racist but) the English still believe...

    BREXIT

    In fairness though, maybe the UK did the rest of the EU a favour. A bit like that scene in the movie where the protagonist realizes there's no coming back from their situation, and wander bravely off into the firey abyss to await death alone. Selflessly not inflicting their pain on everyone else.

    BREXIT

    Normally I wouldn't be a staunch advocate of ethnic cleansing, but every now and again you just wonder: maybe all them lads in Rwanda with machetes might have had a point.

    BREXIT

    the whole Grenadier thing is kind of funny, Ratcliffe allegedly loved Defenders and told Land Rover to keep making them. Land Rover said, nah. So he said I'll build my own Defenders, with Blackjack and Hookers. Land Rover got a bit upset, and sued him or something. He told them to fuck off, so...

    BREXIT

    Mate, I thought I was buying the poxy jumper from somewhere within the EU. I'd certainly not have bought anything from them if I'd known there were Brits involved. Nah, I fucked up. Just avoid buying anything from the UK. Or going there. Interacting with Brits might be OK, providing they...

    send in debt collection people, they said. I have the latest iteration of the letter, they were already talking about getting fighty. I wasn't interested in finding out what they'd do. I paid my UK Are Dickheads Tax, and left it there.

    BREXIT

    i bought a jumper from this "EU" branded shop, which turned out to be based of out the UK. I didn't know this at the time. They sent the jumper, and then months later FedEx independently came looking for close to 90 Euro in various charges, so almost doubled to cost of the fucking jumper. But...

    BREXIT

    to be fair, that was quick. I'd have guessed they would have hung onto their own delusions that they didn't in fact make a huge mistake, a bit longer. I guess the stark glaring reality of things going to shit, and the realization that the lads who drove this have mainly fucked off to Sunnier EU...

    BREXIT

    at one point I believed Glinner was posting, or lurking on thumped. He interacted with me on twitter years ago, when I opened a twitter account. Like it would have been something l5 + years ago possibly. Cycling was the reason I opened Twitter, and couple of thumped people got added in there...

    BREXIT

    Fucking hell. Reading between the lines here, but I'm getting the impression Lab establishment don't seem all that keen on Jeremy. Like, so that statement is not made in order to prevent Jezza from running under Lab, that's easily achievable any number of ways. That statement is The Corbyn...
