Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[not a trot]

Yeah i was wondering about that and what about sexist voters ? Bald voters, Tall to small in height voters,
Disabled Voters, etc etc
Im sure Deters has all these ha
ok look his now put up a load of FAKE "news"
Nothing to see here, move along

I'm 5'4" and voted remain. Wife is disabled and voted remain. We both have our own hair.

Forwards not backwards.

What does that actually mean though? Forwards is only a valid concept if you know where you're going, just as 'down' has no meaning in the absence of gravity.

You don't need to know where you're going to go forwards.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Why do they break it down by westminster seats when the referendum was a straight number of votes each way?

Because that's how you gerrymander the data to create the impression of clear public support for remain. If polling showed 65% support for remain nationwide they'd have led with that, but it doesn't so they came up with this fudge instead.

All that realistically be achieved achieve in the current time frame is an extension to the Art 50 period.
Then say, I don't know, maybe start going about things properly.

If they were going to stop fucking about and do this properly they'd have done so two years ago.

 

[Poi E]

Well, 10 years ago creating new markets for the UK.

Had to post this amazing piece of crap.

In our reality, it is primarily the older generations who are driven by 'all the rage of the world', running amok, smashing up the established order, while their bewildered younger counterparts try to devise ways to understand and combat the mayhem. The older generations seem most vulnerable to manipulation by merciless external forces.

Brexit leaders are reaping the bitter harvest of a long-running propaganda campaign assisted by previously unimaginable levels of technologically-enhanced psychological manipulation.

If many could not conceive of the extent (and viral effectiveness) of the assault from disinformation and shadowy dark money that delivered Brexit, they were even less well equipped to imagine the gleefully irrationalist, fact-averse fury that animates so many of the hardcore that I call The Brexit People.

What a thrill it must be to be invited to metaphorically run riot, trashing the old order and taking revenge upon those who oppress them with facts and the necessity of thought.

To paraphrase the Planet People slogan, unless a way is found to understand and break the archetypal, almost pre- (or post-) rational, components of the spell the Brexit People are under, then "Brexit will Rule". They desire a (for now) metaphorical future in which the unconverted young are forced to live underground, cowering in scrapyards, while they are liberated to run riot above ground, attacking expertise and the symbols of knowledge wherever they find them, while they wait to go to the Brexit that they know will transport them "out of all the bleakness of this world."

The level of patronising stupidity is insane

Two riders were approaching and the wind began to howl - brexit is silly and i'm not saying they're all racist but...

The new liberal but.

I dunno - the idea of brexit framed against an obscure half century + old bit of science fiction is and interesting if utterly pointless exercise - I am sure the writer has been trying to shoehorn his Quatermass knowledge into a paid for article for years.

Sci-fi enthusiasts aside, the only people actually familiar with the film and it’s references will be of the age that he seems be be railing against.not really sure who this is aimed at...

 

[butchersapron]

If he's so great why can't he recognise that Charlie Krafft is a nazi? Doesn't say much for his analytical powers does it? The op-ed the quiteus did at the time of the referendum was hilarious.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Ah yes,the infamous nazi ceramicist who got fucked off from brick lane a couple of years ago . Odd NSK links and stuff with Monroe- had forgotten about that

One phrase from that hysterical omg dystopia!!11! article I did like:

The sheer tautological, anti-intellectual violence of 'Brexit Means Brexit'...

It bothers me that the ''mainstream'' debate on Brexit has been and is still being conducted at a pre-teen level of articulacy and insight. But that's British politics in 2018.

Anti intellectual violence! Similar to people just shouting “FACTS” over and over, but the similarities never occur to some people.

 

[mojo pixy]

Everyone's at it because everyone else is at it, that's the problem. Voices get louder, sentences get shorter. Brexit means Brexit .. racist thickos .. bourgeois elitists .. EU death camps .. Take Back Control.

No content, no hope, just wailing and gnashing of teeth.

EtA, apologies, having a bad day. I'll fuck off now.

Pah, my wife is going to lose her .eu domain name which is her first name. Poop.

Children have more articulacy and insight than our abject politicians

 

[mojo pixy]

Not to mention more empathy. Mind you, plenty of adults rationalise away empathy just fine, no need to go into politics for that.

 

[DotCommunist]

children have to be taught empathy man, have you seen what they can do to flies

have you seen the chemicals adults develop to do unto millions of flies and other insects what children can only dream of?

This is entirely anecdotal, and as such proves nothing. It’s waffley enough to immediately file as “Cool Story Bro”. Click next or something.


But it starts to become personal for me.

My mum collapsed last weekend. All being good the NHS will have her out today. Speaking to my Dad, obviously all relieved, things turn to immediate plans. (Duck now for the priveleged oldies, they are what they are eh.)

They had holiday booked, outside the EU. Hadn’t already booked health insurance. Now thinking they have to cancel, because to disclose the condition would me no insurance, or bonkers price. To risk being uninsured... well jeez. In the US (not where they had planned) a ride in an ambulance is $1500

I suggested they bin the non EU holiday, and go somewhere like Spain.

My Dad, insurance man all his life, immediately piped up... “oh yes, that’s a good idea”. Fill in a form, all covered. By those horrible EU bastards. Them and their neo liberal suprastate - erm, healthcare.

9 months after now, they’d be back in a Cornwall guest house, for fear of an insurance policy, or simply “no deal”.

That Cornwall guest house where we started as family holidays, and I got my parents banned from when I was just five years old.


(Told you it was inconsequential, ‘Cool Story Bro’ )

They should go to Australia or New Zealand instead.
