A thank you to Brexiteers.

[not a trot]

Still waiting for my 'dividend'. Perhaps it got lost in the post.

Oh fuck, you've turned up here now.

errrrm what?

I know that poster from somewhere else. I'll leave it at that.

Ah ok - I'm just going from the posts they've made on here so far. The ones I've seen have been spot on.

You may recognize my name from one of the two websites I've previously used, but no, you don't 'know' me. Let's leave it there, because I get the sense we are both perfectly happy not knowing each other. There is something very odd, socially speaking, that you feel that you know me and yet I don't have a clue who you are, and you didn't say. The online equivalent of someone wearing a balaclava who insists they've met you before.

 

[A380]

well done, dont bother engaging with any substance, reduce everything to a lump of oversimplified nonsense
maybe you can do the sarcastic NATO MADE THEM DO IT one too, thats a classic

"because reasosn"

It's not 'NATO made them do it' that would just be silly.

The line is "It's NATO's fault."

I presume it's NATO's fault you got this wrong...

I can't be certain but I think it was possible to create a website while we were in the EU.

Apparently the real Lexit was the friends they made along the way.

So, 6 years and we've trained hundreds of working class people (for many their first taste of activity). Enduring networks have been been built. In fact I've just met some fellow LeFT supporters at the RMT picket. Personally, I've been involved in supporting a number of disputes and campaigns in Birmingham. It. I also spend about 20-25 hours a week doing unpaid union work helping fellow members with grievances and disciplinaries and organizing workers.

What have you done, bar crying into your keyboard that you lost a popular vote?

That's great but please tell me you don't use terms like praxis when talking to them. I remember 15 years ago on here people having the piss taken out of them for using words like that.

So what you are saying is you are an active union rep but have found a new network in LeFT?
Total respect for been so active in your union but what exactly has Brexit enabled you to do that you couldn't do before? Is it just the networking?

 

[krtek a houby]

Rejoice

Brexit has given the electorate Sir Keir Starmer who stands firmly on stuff and is on his way to becoming the newspapers darling

What a time to be alive

No. Haven’t said any of that or anything approximate to it.

15 years ago people on here wouldn’t have believed this thread would exist. A 6 year long middle class psychodrama.

You’ll need to explain how Brexit has produced Starmer. It’s an odd claim given that he led the middle class revolt within Labour demanding a 2nd referendum and was the shadow Brexit secretary responsible for the manifesto commitment that cost Labour 5 million votes.

Exactly

Brexit made him

And he destroyed Labour

 

[philosophical]

Forget the psychodrama Lexiters.
Provide your practical solution to the land border between the UK and the EU that you chose to leave.
Without retrofitting your weasel justification that secretly you voted for a United Ireland.

Precisely. But in 2022 it’s taken on a quasi-religious status for middle class liberals.

 

[Pickman's model]

Precisely. Now it’s a religion.

holy robert schumann, father of eu, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our brexit

As have stated numerous times, voted remain as didn't know would be leaving your country

Was wrong about various aspects of Brexit

But delighted at the prospect of a 32 county ROI

Maybe, but as a demographic, they're hardly alone in attaching quasi-spiritual belief to their preferred referendum outcome. Many working class Leave supporters continue to justify their choice based exclusively on elements of the affective domain. This is all completely unsurprising given the reductive nature of the binary choice that the tories elevated to the defining political issue of our times.

 

[SysOut]

Divide and rule. God save the Queen.

 

[bimble]

I keep reading on here about the Working Class-ness of the brexit vote and its weird because i live in the middle of a really smug affluent bit of middle England which voted leave, its as if you are ignoring all of my neighbours, the whole village full of retired accountants and national trust members in their vastly overpriced quaint cottages with their stupid bunting still up. Both the archetypes are stupid fictions i dont get why people feel the need to keep pushing them.

I am delighted at the prospect of a united planet, good to dream. However in the meantime there are the practical realities to deal with.
