A thank you to Brexiteers.

'Brexit' for planet remainers has become a signifier and code for all sorts of social, cultural and political issues.

Remainer trauma is emblematic of a wider and deeper crisis of middle class liberalism.
Remainer trauma sounds like something the NHS could treat, if thousands of workers hadn't been drive out by the Brexit campaign you seem to think is good for us all.

Can you explain 'middle class liberalism'?

Do you think Eddie Dempsey was right when he said we should have a no deal Brexit?

Don't you get it? All those Romanian farm workers, Polish builders and Lithuanian waiters were latte drinking effete middle class liberals. Now the country is purged of them the way to true sunlit socialist uplands lies open.

where, according to the Guardian, we can enjoy the freedom to glue home made teeth into our gums.
 
This kind of thing makes you wonder how European countries ever functioned before the corrupt EU gravy train was set in motion.
Pretty badly. Lots of wars, pestilence, ignorance, want, piracy, unchecked tribal vendettas, genocides, and very many aristocratic squabbles that turned countless innocent people from each generation into cannon fodder/plant food. Like Somalia but with rococo palaces and artfully arranged loot for the very few. The good old days, before Brussels ruined your life.

Things are more expensive, to import & export, without the common market. So there were fewer affordable foreign things from Europe, and that’s why this little man’s business is no longer viable, because he sold his plants cheap and isn’t in a location where he could charge a load more and still get business. I took you off ignore just to help you with this have a nice day. :)

Won't somebody think of the little man?

And now we have a war raging in Europe once more. The second major conflict in a generation. Cannon fodder aplenty.

How did European countries fare at times they weren't resembling Somalia?
 
So it doesn't matter that they don't get what they want at general elections, but it does with Brexit. How come? Obviously you think that brexit has some kind of profound consequence for them - what is it?
Because, by and large, they are the people all major political parties pander to. Having a Tory government is merely a problem of aesthetics.

I don't know what it is with Brexit, other than, as I said, it offends their self-image.
 
Indeed a resounding victory for the working classes. Proper dentistry is so middle class.
Real Brits use a piece of string tied to a door handle. Brandy and pliers, with a smack around the head for crying, are namby pamby comforts for children only.

Generally best when they fully cooperated and were interconnected, free exchange of ideas, flow of people, and structures in place to support that - which is a tradition with a very long history.

The war is raging in the former USSR, which cannot be blamed on the EU, even by the most creative Brexiters out there. The beleaguered state in question dearly hopes for all you flushed away.

Don't see why those commendable things necessitate the bloated bureaucratic monster that is the corrupt EU gravy train.

I’m thinking of him because he’s coming round here later today with a medium sized apple tree that he sold me yesterday for ten pounds, which he has probably been taking care of for many years.
Businesses closing because they aren’t big or profitable or professional enough to deal with the new situation is fine though, fuck them right? Even though he employed nobody apart from his parrot to whom I am pretty sure he was a good boss.

The Walloon tribal vendettas were indeed notorious.

This is the mirror image of the tales right-wing anti-EU types used to tell about small traders put out of business by EU regulations etc.

All the current problems at my local dentist's seem to be a legacy of the pandemic rather than anything else.
 
And let's not forget the free flow of capital from the periphery to the northern core. Greece is cheap this year, dahling.
So I heard. I used to live in Athens. It was not cheap. Not by any stretch of the imagination was it a cheap city to live in. The post crisis notion that it was some naive little backwater full of plucky peasants about to be robbed of their life savings by Germany is untrue, and unfair to all parties.
