A thank you to Brexiteers.

Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force:

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months.

The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.

In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped, and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 1944. Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned. The free men of the world are marching together to victory.

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory.

Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

PS: Don't forget your passports.
 
I like Byline news. Good longer form documentaries and content generally.

I was and remain opposed to Brexit. And Osbourne's austerity after 2008 but i think the misery from that led to the public attitudes that led to Brexit.

I always thought it was a power/cash grab by the UK financial elites who hated the extra layers of regulation which helped to constrain some of their excesses. And a short term opportunity to short the pound (see 'The Brexit Short'...a Bloomberg doc on Youtube), destroy industries to buy them back at fire sale prices and finally to get rid of/privatise the NHS and the rest of the welfare state by having a vaguely plausible excuse to say 'we can't afford it anymore' (because we ripped you off and shifted all the assets overseas...ssshh).

So here's a good documentary about it released in 2023 by Byline.



A theme i found really disheartening was the repetition of 'i'm not going to vote anymore because it makes no difference who you vote for' by the people it would help the most. Not voting is the thing the right and conservative policy makers want the most. I think the naked public flouting of democratic norms, the obvious lies and deceptions that seems to be endemic in the media by the right might even be deliberate to foster these attitudes in their victims. Voting's the only real power people have over these cunts.

OK i'm preaching to the converted saying that here but i needed to vent!
 
This one's looking at the financially incentivised reasons behind Brexit. From Germany. Made in 2021.



This is the Bloomberg one about Nigel and his mate Crispin Odey making a killing on the night of the vote.

 
The DUP released it's manifesto today.
Pissed off that after the vote for the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to leave the European Union the result of the referendum has not be implemented in the same way across the whole country.
The reason being the UK/EU land border which was made into an issue by those who voted leave.

I have found it. the elusive Brexit benefit.

if anybody remembers Theresa May's Festival of Brexit, rebranded Unboxed, one part of that was the Dreammachine installation. Jon Hopkins soundtracked that. which at the time I do recall wishing they'd had CDs in a gift shop to take home.

finally, out last week his new album Relic is adapted from that work.
and it's great. although another review I read said it sounded like he'd fallen asleep face first onto his sequencer.

Michel Barnier named by Macron as new French PM

The French president names the EU's former Brexit negotiator almost two months after snap elections.
www.bbc.co.uk

When it comes to it, centrists will always fuck over the left. Macron now by appointing the right-wing Barnier. Starmer and the Peoples Vote liberals actively undermining Corbyn at every opportunity when leave with a more left-leaning government could have been sold to the electorate in 2017.

It’s not going to go well.
 
All those fishermen who were sucked in by the idea of 'taking back our waters' through Brexit, they fucked themselves over.

"The Kirkella, Britain’s last distant-water whitefish trawler, is currently tied up in port and unable to work due to a glitch in the Brexit...

...The Kirkella, which was once one of three vessels operated from the UK that would bring home around 20,000 tonnes of whitefish (mostly cod and haddock for our chippies) each year from off the Norwegian coast, is currently tied up with no quota left to fish.

This year, Kirkella has been limited to catching around 6,500 tonnes, with the shortfall being imported from countries like Norway, Greenland, Iceland and even Russia."


Britain’s last distant-water trawler is stuck in Hull for the most Brexit reason ever​

The ship should be stocking British chippies with whitefish, but it can't go anywhere because there's no quota left to fish.​

This is obviously a biased, pro-EU membership opinion, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wrong or fanciful. If Trump ends up being even 25% of as much of a cunt as his pledges for his second term in office suggest, we’re likely to be far more vulnerable to the ensuing financial fallout than if we were in the Bloc.

UK must reverse Brexit if Donald Trump wins election, Keir Starmer told

Or become the 51st State

supposedly far from getting a trade deal and integrating into the US market (as the Tory Brexiters had planned) the UK is going to come off worst than most from trade tariffs that have been floated by the Trump camp
...still 51st state, but 51st vassal gimp state
