Is Brexit actually going to happen?

So we've got Edmonds, Reid and Tarrant all firmly leave. Any other 80s breakfast radio DJs we haven't heard from? Has anyone called Bruno Brookes or Pat Sharpe?

Dr Fox always it would be the easiest deal in history...

Looks like they took the line from Thomas Jefferson's promise at his inauguration in 1801: "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none."

I'm surprised they're celebrating Brexit with a quote from the author of the Declaration of Independence (from Britain)....

Borrowing forecast to be about £30bn/yr higher - or £580 million per week. I wonder what could have caused that

Costas Lapavitsas: Socialism starts at home

some good points in here re: internationalism. Not sure I like the title, but have a read

Just got around to reading this, and the below immediately jumped out at me.

Lapavitsas  Do we believe in our own strength or not? Do we believe in the strength of working people, the power of the working class and the poorer layers of British society? If we don’t, we might as well pack up and go home. If the magnitude of the task scares us, there is no point talking about socialism and what the left should do. We can confront these people and defeat them – of course we can. We can oppose the EU and big business and we can defeat them. We should rely on the strength of working-class hostility towards the current regime in Britain and the current state of social affairs – which is very deep. And we can rely on the yearning of ordinary people for popular sovereignty.

Absolutely bang on target.

The throttling of demand due to the squeeze on public finances?

Arron Banks, Leave.eu’s money man, now under Police investigation - his first blustering response is to try to muddy the waters and indulge in some anti-Semitic dog whistling about Soros:

George Soros as the figurehead of a liberal conspiracy to undermine democracy is a well known conspiraloon/alt right trope. It's a modern version of the classic jews running the world conspiracy.

Couldn't put words in your mouth if I wanted to, what with all the shit spouting from it.

You know what you said. Fuck off.

And stop liking my posts - they're nothing to do with you or your dodgy racist views.

It's not just mentioning his name, it's also pointing out that he's a foreign national, although as potential antisemitic dog whistling this example, in isolation, seems relatively mild.

Arron Banks is still a cunt though...

 

[mojo pixy]

''Soros'' is conspiraloon-code for Jooz though. Even when it's a mention of the actual individual commonly known as George Soros and what he personally did.

EtA, Banks posted this last week so who knows what games he's playing. I think this is being called ''muddying the waters''.



EtA, nuff edits now.

Yeah. Britain leaves the empire, empire gets the raging hump about it, empire collapses soon after

 

[William of Walworth]

You failed to mention the subsequent rejoining-the-not-yet-collapsed-empire-again bit though

Historians know how to notice both sides of a story

Not being 100% serious here ....

 

[Yossarian]

"Britain leaves empire, rejoins empire after 10 years, and remains a part of corrupt, collapsing empire for another 130 years" doesn't sound like too unlikely an outcome to the current state of affairs...
