DeeTillEhDeh Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 It's important to remember that the people voted for Brexit. Therefore, despite the whole thing coming about because of division in the Tory party, the incompetence of negotiators such as Davies, Raab, and May herself, the uselessness of the opposition under Corbyn, and the total lack of any credible plan going forward, this is not the fault of the politicians. We will forever be reminded that the people voted for it, so it's their fault.Which Heinz 57 varieties of Brexit did they vote for though?We constantly get told Leave means Leave but they can't actually agree what it means. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 It wouldn’t. The DUP and their followers would move to a xenophobic and racist part of England. Can you suggest any suitable locations. Burnley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the statement was, and was very surprisingly, prefixed by the word 'England'. John Bright MP said this and he intended it to be sarcastic – sadly that was quickly lost amidst the imperial chauvinism of Britain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fucking bonkers. Are they going out to interview people with mental health disorders? I genuinely can't think of any other explanation without coming to the depressing conclusion that the UK, particularly England is simply become a pathetic and racist shitpit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They (BBC) went to Mansfield (70% leave) the other night to interview your usual range of older fat ruddy cheeked xenophobes and racists siting drinking pints of warm piss. There was one, youngish mum who said she have never voted in an election in her life before but her big brother and dad told her to vote because it was really important for immigration. The young lassie was pretty despondent now as she said it’s all been a big pack of lies and that she had wished she had voted remain but felt pressured by her family. Vulnerable young folk bullied into voting for something they know nothing about. Sounds all too familiar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the point that Trump announced his candidacy right up to now I have seen his supporters being interviewed and thought “what the f**k?” It’s depressing to see that same level of ignorance and stupidity on our doorstep. “Yeah it’s a stupid decision, yeah we’ve had 2 years to improve it, yeah it’s still crap despite that but I want to do it anyway” is not the thought process of a rational mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
