A thank you to Brexiteers.

[Pickman's model]

language please

fuck's been used so frequently on here that it's utterly commonplace. unless your animus is directed at the hard boarder. incidentally the first person to say fuck/fucking on here seems to have been Blagsta back in 2001 https://www.urban75.net/forums/threads/g8-protester-murdered.8/#post-1468 tho surely there were aulder examples before the great post cull

language please

it often been said that people who are in favour of brexit wanted to drag the whole world back to the 1950's

fun that you keep quote caps line from avengers

Nonsense, Ireland made a choice to stay in the Common Travel Area rather than Schengen long before the spectre of Brexit reared it's head. That choice was made as it was considered beneficial to the people of ROI to do so, it is still considered beneficial to continue along those lines. Ireland can leave the Common Travel Area any time it chooses.

you are talking out of your arse btw
I'll make it simple go look at a map of Europe and then look up the Amsterdam treaty

Why particularly the 1950s?

 

[philosophical]

Philosophical should have thought of that before he selfishly cast his vote.

Thought of what?
One easy bit of thinking was do I want to vote the same way as Farage, Johnson, Rees Mogg, Tice and others?
Lexiters got into bed with those bastards in a florid display of Stockholm Syndrome.

Why particularly the 1950s?

Dreadful times. The beginning of two awful decades where the wages and living standards of working class people rose faster than at any time in recorded history, there was an unprecedented expansion of free healthcare and education and council house building. Inequality began to drop and would reach the lowest levels measured by the Gini co-efficient. It was also the era of legislation to open up education resulting in an explosion of working class cultural production in music, plays and film and arts. There would be legislation promoting the rights of women, anti racism and gay rights. Trade unions were embedded in every key part of the economy.

The thing about some Remainers is that they dismiss or sneer at interpretive nostalgia and seemingly overlook that their own meta narrative is soaked in a particular form of it (without the interpretive bit).

Wise words, that I have been tempted use myself many times on this thread, ya balloon

after that diatribe of nonsense wind your neck in

saying that with the cost of living crisis which is exacerbating the consequences of brexit we might all start feeling we are living in the 1950's quicker than you would like

Once you saw austerity-cunt Gideon and his pig-fucking mate you just knew you had to throw your lot in with them, yeah?

Austerity cunt and pig fucker aren't advocating transphobic child-hatred at CPAC though, are they. Didn't weaponise xenophobia to the point half the NHS stayed abroad. Didn't endorse an orange fascist in the white house?

Shit choice is shit, but still a choice.

Just a shit one

Most NHS staff who aren't from the UK are actually non EU

'Or'

 

[philosophical]

In a binary choice it was easy to focus on the word leave.

Maybe it could all have gone different if the other side had gone with Stay instead, remain is a crap word. Leave definitely had all of the good slogans.

 

[Pickman's model]

'Or'

something disgusting v something disgusting is not a choice. like work or starve. tory or labour. or lib dem.

How are brexit and remain the same?

 

[The39thStep]

We could have a thread on re running the referendum with better slogans

 

[Pickman's model]

How are brexit and remain the same?

they broadly are or you wouldn't have seen people come down effectively divided in two with ~50% going for either option. of course, after the precedent of the welsh devolution referendum - and even more perfect 50% split with about half the electorate turning out and pro and con divided by a gnat's whisker - there was no way even a 50% split wouldn't have been seized upon as the will of the people

I don't know, a Stay campaign sounds a bit like it could have been followed up with Sit and Heel campaigns.

 

[andysays]

They could have got Barbara Woodhouse to lead the campaign, if she wasn't already dead.

You could say the same for Johnson, though admittedly only inside for now.

she would have been a far better pm than johnson even in that state

did we ever get around to the benefits of brexit

 

[The39thStep]

Did we ever get around to why it was the 1950s that anyone who voted to leave the EU wanted to go back to?

At least a million of the votes were to go back before Indian and Pakistani independence
