A thank you to Brexiteers.

[The39thStep]

I was talking / reminiscing to a mate of mine in the U.K. about Saturday mornings before the supermarkets took over and opened all hours . Used to be queues outside the butchers from 8 onwards to get the best bits of meat , same with bakers for bread , fishmongers for fish and the grocers for fruit and veg . If you hadn’t done your shopping by 3 in the afternoon you just made do with what they had left as nothing was open Sundays .
Used to the paper sale 10 o’clock for an hour , quick pint , do the shopping and back in the pub for a pint . Pick some horses out , watch the racing in the pub and then totter off home at 3 when the pub closed.

We've heard of Farage's tirades against the RNLI saving asylum seekers in the channel, but the backdrop to this is the following Brexit fallout:

An EU law called Dublin III allowed asylum seekers to be transferred back to the first member state they were proven to have entered.
However, the UK is no longer part of this arrangement as it has now left the European Union.

How ironic, after playing a part in stopping free movement within the EU.

Brexit?

It's all just a bunch of dark-money-driven, Randist, libertarian, deregulatory-inspired, revisionist bullshit.

Everything else is fluff.

William Rees Mogg, et al, in 1993.

The Kochs, the Elliots, the Mercers, the Austrian schoolists - the 55 Tufton Street lunatics. Cambridge Analytica and spin-offs.

The deregulation of data and finance - and setting up "free cities" for the wealthy is all that matters.

Boris Johnson’s phony sausage war

The UK has a long history of picking pointless fights with Brussels.

Sausages are a smokescreen and everyone other than the very wealthy are merely collateral damage.

And then climate change.

Happy days.

Woof

Sarcasm, I hope.

All "workers" are being fucked.

Be nice to each other peeps.

G'night.

I thought you were off. You said bye about 40 minutes ago. You haven't quite got the hang of exiting an online exchange.

People this fond of leaving don’t actually want to leave because then you’d have to stop talking about them.

Yes sarcasm.

There's been a massive rise of nationalism and the far right across the EU. I'm sure you know about the falling average living standards and rising inequality - especially in Greece.

People enthusiastically voted for the removal of rights because they miss standing in line for things on a Saturday morning, drinking warm piss in a nicotine stained pub and betting on what horse can run the fastest?

Christ, I understand why Brexit happened on a pay and conditions basis (ignoring the highly predictable fact the same wankers who punted Brexit are now badly implementing it on that front) but getting all misty eyed for queues outside the butchers? Nah, I'll never understand it but then again I'm an aging millennial snowflake so what do I know?

Have you seen his bio? .

Tim Walker has worked for The Observer, the Daily Mail, the Daily Telegraph. the Daily Mirror, The European and The New European. He stood as a parliamentary candidate for the Lib Dems in Canterbury in the 2019 general election, before controversially standing down and falling behind his Labour opponent.

Sounds exactly like the sort of person we should be listening to

That’s a really interesting hot take. What would be both interesting and extremely valuable would be some fieldwork to test your hypothesis out.

Why not pick a working class area near to you (we can help you find one if you are struggling to locate one) and find a place where they gather to drink piss, gamble (most of them are probably on benefits as well) and try to get the best food they can with their money? Set out your views and then report back to us on the debates you’ll inevitably get into about them.

I don't think the Leave campaign explicitly promised to get rid of supermarkets and restore the shopping conditions of the 1970s, tbf.

Personally, I'd much prefer visiting several small shops then having a few pints and watching the races to going to the supermarket, though there would likely be some strain on my marriage after the 50th time I came home pissed in the afternoon and realised I'd left the meat I'd bought five hours earlier in the pub.
