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

[bimble]

the brexit allstars ! the momentous hour marked by a tom jones cover. Nige is going to be the final speaker stay tuned.

 

[Proper Tidy]

Crikey. Never mind.

 

[rekil]

River Styx ferry band.

 

[editor]

Looking friendly so far.

Racist scum

 

[editor]

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.

And racism and xenophobia will bloom everywhere!

 

[editor]

Now we’re at the point of no return it’s in everyone’s interest that Brexit is a success.

How's that then?

 

[editor]

Some sad ass shit going down here:

The most depressing YouTube video I've ever seen. A privileged public schoolboy banging on about he's 'beaten the establishment.'

 

[bimble]

painful to watch but cant look away.
The cheers sound flat & unconvicing even from this crowd who chose to go and stand there.

 

[bimble]

.

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

Cheerio motherfuckers!!!

 

[editor]

It's a sea of middle aged bald white men!

 

[editor]

Who's the posh cunt saying goodnight now?

 

[bimble]

god save the queen karaoke with words on screen behind nigel . perfect.

 

[weltweit]

So 11.04pm

It is done.

I don't feel any different.

Hopefully my Spanish, French, Italian etc friends who live here in the UK (and who have been here for years working and paying taxes) won't get any added abuse.

 

[editor]

Depressing to note how many people on Facebook mod groups (as in the 60s music) are whooping with joy over Brexit.

 

[pinkmonkey]

Was very quiet here in N17, no fireworks here.

 

[MrSki]

 

[Steel Icarus]

Ugh. Compound swearing passing for great wit

 

[scifisam]

Scans the crowd


but aye the country was split down the middle

It's a sea of middle aged bald white men!

It really is. Apart from the whiteness and unusual level of bald heads, it's hugely male. Women did vote Brexit too, in similar amounts to men. But the only woman visible in those two videos was a young woman wearing a bikini walking past while adjusting a flag in what looked like part of her job like she'd just walked out of a 1970s car advert. I'm sure I missed a few women in there somewhere but they're a teeny tiny minority compared to the men. And it's not like the cameras didn't scan quite widely.

 

[MrSki]

Well Led by Donkeys had to do their piece.

 

[UrbaneFox]

It’s win-win for Farage.
He’s got over £11 million of unspent donations in his account.
Chlorinated chicken wings all round.

 

[Wilf]

I leave the EU without an ounce of affection for the bureaucratic freemarket shitshow that it is. Same time, there's nothing good coming down the line from a tory lead Brexit. I couldn't vote in 2016, for either that bureaucratic shit show or for a campaign against it lead by the populist right. In the middle of all that was the absence of a functioning lexit and the absence of a functioning working class politics. And if they held the vote again tomorrow I think I'd find myself in the same quandary.

 

[editor]

Listen to these FUCKING IDIOTS. They literally can't come up with a single sensible answer.

 

[Marty1]

IF
(in case you're wondering, that's a big "if").

Who would willingly want to remain under the control of an anti-democratic entity superstate ran by power mad limousine driven unaccountable self enriching sneering mandarins?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Funnily enough I live in Portugal and have met many Portuguese who agree that countries in the EU should elect governments that make laws and budgets for their own country rather than the EU .They also query why it took so long for the UK to enact the decision and think that referendum decisions should be respected no matter if they agree or don’t agree . Coming from a country that has its own residency rules and paperwork and having friends and families in the UK who have settled status or pre settled status or who are applying they don’t see it as a kick in the teeth but a process to go through . Sorry if that offends you .

Maybe if you lived In the UK rather than Portugal you wouldn't post so much total bollocks about brexit and what it means.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

And yeah this assumption if people are black or have non-UK roots they are remainers by default is lazy and dangerous

It is lazy and dangerous to dismiss the big anti brexit majority among a population with no reason to feel itself to be European. It's really shit to dismiss that tbh. When people tell you a brexit vote will increase racism then a brexit vote increases racism you are duty bound to pay attention to what was said by those who got that prediction right. Maybe you can learn from them.

 

[Marty1]

This Brexit shit has divided the country and the resentment will live on.

That’s why it’s vital that this country does exceptionally well economically - the feel good factor of an economic boom for all the country, not just the London bubble, would minimise resentment and reduce hard left press from promoting divisive division.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

To everyone on here who voted for brexit, hopefully you can now see that you were wrong. You misunderstood what was going on and made a wrong decision. Only bad things are happening now as a result.

What other possible conclusion could you come to?

If we had an economic boom for the whole country, we wouldn't need "a feel good factor," which is when something feels good but hasn't actually happened. A feel good factor without any actual changes for the better is meaningless. Some people might already be experiencing that.

This has got to be a wind-up?

Nobody can be that bigoted.
