"Party Means Party."

[Calamity1971]

Nearly as bad as farages speech and flag waving in Brussels about half hour ago. Fucking embarrassing

"A Brextrospective"

That’s actually very good

 

[existentialist]

I'm not too sure why David Cameron wouldn't necessarily play the electric viola.
I mean, I have little doubt that he shouldn't play it, but am unsure why he wouldn't.

He might play it. But would he play it well?

"A Brextrospective"

That's really hard to say. Makes me sound like Tony Benn.

 

[Baronage-Phase]

The European Parliament spontaneously singing Auld Lang Syne ...brought tears to my eyes.
Sad day really.

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Seeing Farage's smug gob...
Stopped any tears.
What a monumental tit

Be that as it may - Farage, whether you love or loathe him is probably the most influential politician of our time.

Why aren't all the Lexiteers organising a massive party on Friday to welcome the re-nationalisation of the top 200 monopolies now we are free from the shackles of the rich mans's club?

Asking for a friend.

You utter wanker

 

[TopCat]

For this joke to land the attendees would need to be able to a) read and b) count past ten without taking their shoes off, so I suspect it's a non starter.

You are better that this but today you wear a cunt badge.

 

[TopCat]

You remoaners have a lot to answer for.

Sorry but..
No. He will be remembered historically as a monumental fool.

Anyone using the word 'remoaner' has a lot to answer for.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

That's really hard to say. Makes me sound like Tony Benn.

or Roy Hattersley

"Brexit" is such a horrible word that I thought I had to find something even worse.

I apologise wholeheartedly for suggesting that people willing to travel across the country and stand out in the rain at night in January to wave a nylon flag and listen to Anne Widdecombe ranting on about converting the gays are in any way shape or form not very bright.

Is this a haiku?

 

[two sheds]

Is this a haiku?

17 syllables i think

well close anyway

And unelectable, but not ineluctable.

Your not related to Terry Christian are you ?

Dunno about that tbh . All I pick up from a lot of remainers on social media is them moaning , desperately hoping things go wrong , so that they can for the many reasons they voted Remain some how be proved right . Food shortages , aeroplanes not flying , UK citizens being barred from visiting or working in European countries, mass deportations , ex pats flooding back in thousands to drain the NHS , Brie and Camembert never to be seen again etc etc etc . Time to move on .

 

[tommers]

So who's going?

Blimey!

Some things haven't changed. Brexit is a manifestation of the r/w populist nationalism that has been on the rise across Europe and elsewhere, not some kind of reaction to it. Wrt the political forces that are strengthened by it and will have most say over its eventual shape, that is as true now as it was four years ago. And this Friday is just the start of the Brexit-related shit, not the end of anything.

I think it's a shitty term for the same reason I think this triumphalist bellend jamboree in Parliament Square is shit - a lot of people, particularly immigrants whose status has been in limbo for years, have some very serious worries about Brexit, but the language of the Daily Express etc. dismisses them all as Remoaner losers moaning about Brexit and people should think twice about using it.

Brexit Celebration Day in London: a bit like a team who narrowly won the FA cup via a dodgy decision deciding to hold a victory parade in their opponent's city

Surely the Windrush scandal was an early manifestation of the attitudes coming out of the pro-Brexit mob?

The Windrush scandal was appaulling however I honestly dont think it was motivated by a decision to leave the EU.If anything one of the issues around the EU was that it gave more right to citizens in the EU than it did to citizens of the Commonweath and former Commonwealth states.This was a particular issue cited by Asain and Black leavers.

 

[Proper Tidy]

I find the association between the EU and pro immigration bizarre. It's called fortress europe for a reason. EU border policy is fucking brutal.
