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

Looking friendly so far. :(

Having fun rejecting some neoliberalism.
 
I hope you all have a wonderful time tonight, Remainers need to get over themselves and give thanks that they are no longer in a political union where they had no real say on how they are governed. The EU project was doomed after they ignored the results of referendums in France, Holland and Ireland, it just took many years for this to happen.

I'd expect Denmark to be the next to leave, but if there is another economic problem in the next couple of years it could be Italy that leaves next, southern Europe has suffered greatly economically from EU membership, unemployment will be the spark that lights they fire there, millions of young people see no future leaving with massive unemployment in the region and hopefully they will stand up and start fighting back. While eastern European countries have received lots of inward investment over recent years from the EU, the people there are now showing signs of becoming pissed off being dictated too by the EU and now the investment will slow or stop I can see a number of countries in the area looking to leave the EU.

Europe as a free trade area was a great idea, the same types of free trade agreements were happening around the globe, so the EU needed to become a free trade area but nowhere else was political union added to these agreements and for good reason.

Unlike many whose posts I have read on this thread, I believe the UK will do well sailing its own ship. I also think the EU without the UK will struggle on for a few more years but in the end the Euro will bring it to its knees and the whole thing will come crashing down.

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.

Yup, isn’t Britain leaving the EU equivalent to 19 small and medium countries leaving at the same time?!!

Now we’ve left others may be looking at the door - if Britain booms after our complete exit, the exodus may well begin.

IF
(in case you're wondering, that's a big "if").
 
No, but you posted a comment about the photos The39thStep was posting. That's how this discussion started. Though TBH it looks like we've got to the end of it now really. :)
No, I posted a comment about your train of logic. I was making no comment on what The39thStep was saying.

So the forecasts of it costing the UK 200 billion by the end of 2020 & more than the total the UK has paid in makes you think it will be a boom?

You posted that "It does usefully illustrate that the parties of capital will promote whatever they currently believe will accelerate neoliberalism." That's talking about the photos The39thStep posted. (Post 383 if you're on a desktop where you can see post numbers).
 
Guy on the left is the one in the "It's OK To Be White" t shirt. He had a mask on when I saw him but I guess he lost it or something.
Google machine says it's "Active Patriot" (Alan Leggett) from Grimsby. Vids of himself at the most recent Polish independence day mess on his youtube.

For the anoraks, that's Jerozolimskie Avenue in Warsaw.

Why bother pointing that out at all if you're not claiming that Brexit didn't affect the continued low value of the pound?
Firstly because it adds context to the fall in value , of course uncertainty affects currencies and the uncertainty around the future of the EU's euro meant it was artificially high. Secondly I'm not claiming that the decision to leave and therefore the uncertainty of what happens next didnt affect the pound thirdly and finally I am saying that the falls in the value of the pound against the euro also occured before the referendum , under the recession when Labour were in office 2009 and where we are today of Brexit is probably around the mean since 2009 if you take out the one off Greek crisis.
I mean good thing there are no white supremacists marching in London to celebrate Brexit or anything. That would be awful.
Good thing there aren’t any of London’s ‘ Red Wall’ challenging the same group of fash that turn up for Brexit , SYL, Yellow Vests , and anything else that takes their fancy . Fash are Fash.
