Brexit party on 31 January in London is going ahead. And it will be shit.

I hate the fact that the Brazilian people voted for Jair Bolsonaro, but they did and I have to except that fact, I could cry and moan about how this will mean the end of the world and that everyone who voted for him is racist, sexist or homophobic, or I can just work and carry on in an effort to make things better. I suspect that having Jair Bolsonaro elected in Brazil will have about the same effect on me as Brexit will have on most of you. Have some perspective.

you won't be effected by his dodgy policies so why worry?
 
The next big battle for Boriscuntface will be trying to stop the Scots getting the fuck out of the union and him being responsible for the disintegration of the UK, although Corbyn will probably be blamed for that, when it happens.

Well the Loyalist of Northern Ireland are directing their anger at the compromise of a sea customs boder at Johnson and the DUP and no one else. They traditionally would have shot some catholics to get their point across but are having to look for new ways to express their anger

Oh, Northern Ireland is going to be fun. Anything that adds extra gammoness to the DUP is always a treat to watch. They're the puritan medieval cunts that facilitated the fucking Tories so it would be great to see them getting well and truly shafted.

Sad thing is that the brexit vote in the UK wasn't for any of the things she talks about. It wasn't because the EU allows its rules to be broken to allow for arms deals but not housing deals. If only the UK were leaving the EU for the reasons she gives - sounds a bit like a 'lexit'! But it's not, and it never was. And that matters.

tbh that whole speech makes the same fundamental mistake that some make on here. Brexit is a manifestation of the nasty r/w nationalism that has been growing across Europe and elsewhere, in the US, in Brazil, not a reaction to it. It is perhaps a reaction to some of the neoliberal shortcomings of the EU in part (but only in part, it's nowhere near that sophisticated mostly), but it is a r/w reaction to it, of the kind that leads people to vote Front National in France or Freedom Party in the Netherlands. In the UK's political system, that's what this looks like. UKIP don't get elected directly. They hijack the Tory party and get in that way.

Ed Balls(yes him) has a programme on BBC2, 'Travels in Euroland' that examines this, albeit in a cartoony way at times, there are some very surprising encounters which challenge the lefts recieved truth on this.

At some point Really Existing Toryism is going to clash with the expectations of those that voted for them. The first lines of that conflict were written during the week, when Johnson and Javid (Ravid from now on, cos he's a Randist) told government departments to make cuts of 5%.

Either Johnson delivers pay rises, more money for the NHS, 2 billion for potholes or he'll face a still steaming populace who have been angry in various ways since the 2008. When the rich keep getting richer under really existing toryism, the populace won't have the eu to blame. The Government may try to blame someone but they are slowly running out of scapegoats.

You can be sure the benefit fraud posters will be up again everywhere.

'the left' is a very broad and indeed heterogeneous church so your received truth doesn't in fact exist

Johnson is a racist, openly so. As is Farage. More than 13 million people voted for parties led by one or the other last month. Are all those 13 million racist? That's the wrong question, always has been. The question is 'did they knowingly vote for racists?', and the answer to that question has to be, overwhelmingly, 'yes'. If that doesn't depress you, there's something wrong with you.

All of them? that is crazy.

Most of them. Or are you saying that a sizeable number of people are so thick that they didn't realise Johnson and Farage were racist? They did know, and voted for them anyway.

A lot of those people would not consider Farage, Johnson or themselves to be racist.
 
Are you just going to post loads of irrelevant pictures showing that the tories liked the EU nearly 50 years ago, as if it means anything at all? Do you think anyone is going to say "oh well, obviously Brexit is great and it hasn't actually made the pound fall in value or helped increase racism and xenophobia, and there will be no problems caused by it in the future, it will all be a free utopia. I know this because Margaret Thatcher liked the EU, therefore none of these bad things can possibly have happened."

Despite the fact that the pound has fallen before Brexit and we had racism and xenophobia before Brexit (sometimes its a bit like talking about football for people who can only remember the Premier League) , the pictures are very relevant to Brexit Day as it reminds people that in the past Labour was anti what was to become the EU , as was the TUC and the left and many of the Tories and their backers in favour , as were the Mosleyites.

You will be shocked to hear that there are a bunch of the usual far right suspects around Parliament Square - Q stuff, Trump hats, signs about Soros, Tommy Robinson messages, one "It's OK To Be White" t-shirt, etc etc - who went down Whitehall (where there is/was a small anti-Brexit rally on the space opposite Downing Street that was going to have a march) to have a shout in their faces, call them traitors and cunts and paedos and so on. Cops kept the groups kind of separated eventually but were more narky with photographers on the pavement.

tbh I took some pictures then decided that I just didn't need this in my life - I don't want to give them the attention. I'm sure you can see it all on YouTube

It does usefully illustrate that the parties of capital will promote whatever they currently believe will accelerate neoliberalism.

No it's not like that at all. The point is that racism and xenophobia have got worse because of brexit. You must know that that is the point. Why post this drivel?
 
Oh and there was a bloke (an official one) testing out multicoloured mood lighting on the Downing Street side, so I imagine those will be going on later tonight for a festive atmosphere.
