GJ idiots.

Quote:
A quick note on the first three tragedies. Firstly, it was the working classes who voted for us to leave because they were economically disregarded, and it is they who will suffer the most in the short term. They have merely swapped one distant and unreachable elite for another.

Secondly, the younger generation has lost the right to live and work in 27 other countries. We will never know the full extent of the lost opportunities, friendships, marriages and experiences we will be denied. Freedom of movement was taken away by our parents, uncles, and grandparents in a parting blow to a generation that was already drowning in the debts of our predecessors.

Thirdly and perhaps most significantly, we now live in a post-factual democracy. When the facts met the myths they were as useless as bullets bouncing off the bodies of aliens in a HG Wells novel. When Michael Gove said, ‘The British people are sick of experts,’ he was right. But can anybody tell me the last time a prevailing culture of anti-intellectualism has led to anything other than bigotry?

Right-Wing Brexit Leader Admits Key Campaign Promise Was a Complete Lie

Thursday night, a slim majority of Britons voted in favor of leaving the European Union — otherwise called a British exit and commonly shortened to “Brexit.” The vote to leave was based in large part on the promise that £350 million pounds normally allocated to the European Union each week would instead be available for UK’s massively popular National Health Services (NHS). However, Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid pressed Farage on the claim, who admitted it was “one of the mistakes” the Vote Leave campaign made.

As one of the leading economies in the world this action has caused great uncertainty and panic in the global financial system.
I can only imagine the deep, collective regret the British population must be feeling right now.
They just wanted to make a point, to be heard.
They must feel so insecure now as a nation knowing they will be all on their own economically. Image

Christ no. Splitting Labour now would be utterly moronic. They will try though, all the same.


Labours already split and Corbyn nailed his colours to the wall and turned on his voters. The dick was meant to be an alternative to modern politics but instead did what killed Labour in Scotland and sided with the bluenoses during the referendum. Dude fucked up, and I'm someone who voted for him.

Here's my take - I'm not massively concerned, my job and finances appear to be secure but looking at the whole picture then the only way I could accept this reality is if the winning side actually brought a decent plan to the table beforehand, but, it's not what Johnson, Gove, or Nigel have given us. The frustrating thing is that the security and consistency we knew has been fucked off for what I see as a 'snake oil revolution'. 'Leave' has campaigned by spreading fears about immigration, about future EU entrants, misinformation and outright fucking bullshit about EU costs, EU funding, about freedom of movement - bullshit - fact. They've also made bullshit economic predictions.

And no mention of a fucking plan ?, what in the actual fuck ?. And don't come at me with your holier than thou rhetoric about the EU being a democracy or how they maker their decisions or whatever, the vast majority of the public made their decisions on the utter bullshit from the mouth of those bastards, misinformation and lies from the 'leave' campaign. Don't think I have any respect for 'remain' either, they're a bunch of cunts too, but seeing as 'leave' won - what now ?, no path laid out as to how ?, the conditions ?, and the end result ?, how our exit from the EU will be conducted ?. Do 'Leave' voters know?, I have my doubts, I bet they never even thought about it, it's the 'we got our country back'. So what now ?, what was it for ?, that's where the hard hitting answers should have been, cos no one I have asked can provide me with one. Try asking anyone about how will we better off out of the EU ?, what is the exit plan ?, what is our arrangements going to be ?, that's where the discussion ends !. Semen and Memph came to their conclusions based on their own opinions, fair enough, but trust me when I say they aren't representative of the voters in this country.

Without answers to these questions after the referendum has finished, it's very difficult to take the 'leave' voters seriously. Not only have they voted for a massive gamble, they seemingly don't even know what they've gambled on. I'm not pissed off we're leaving, I'm fucking fuming that we've had smoke blown up our collective arseholes and are now sat around wondering wtf just happened or what happens next.

The Welsh FFS, the Welsh have a massive reliance on EU funding, Gwent had 5 bln in construction grants up until 2020 and guess how 'we' voted ?. Did no one think of even mentioning that to any of the muppets that voted for their country back ?, did no one even think of mentioning how that short fall will be made up ?. There's shit all over Newport that's entirely reliant on EU funding.

I blame the Torys too, surprise surprise, but those fuckers have been project fear since Gordon Brown and have been riding rough shot over the electorate since gaining power. They've sewn more discontent in this country since being in control than I have witnessed in my lifetime. Separating the scroungers from the strivers, rich vs poor, the strain of immigrants on our economy, all bullshit to draw attention away from their own fuck ups the pig fucking, self serving bastards.

It's also worth noting that Scotland is pretty much gone now, it'd be fucked up to force them to stay.

So, just Wales and NI to vote non Tory. Fucking beautiful.

The whole vote out and you're racist is incredible, but easy to understand. Loads of people i know in Shropshire voted out thinking there'd be troops of border control roaming the streets with big nets 'kickin' the fuckers out'. And I think it's a real shame the actual valid reasons to leaving were lost in UKIPs BS.

Also it's got to be said I nearly voted out just because of that FUCKING TWAT Bob Geldof.

Who are no doubt ironically, outside anywhere Boris is right now, hurling all manner of abuse.

Seems the whole forced multiculturalism experiment is ever more likely to come crashing down - and it's at least good that it'll happen democratically - even if it produces more salt for the Salt God than the Salt God could ever want.


Nailed it Memphis :!:

^ the vote was about the EU. whatever other mongtardiana voters may have had swilling around in their brainpans as they trooped to the polling station, it wasn't a vote to end puhli'ical cuhrrectnuss gon maaad, or throw out allan snackbar and the people from the east who fix the shit you break, or end muh diversity

membership of the EU was what was on the ballot paper. if you think all the rest follows automatically from this you're living in a magical world of unicorns, rainbows and special needs

Migrants aren't the problem for our population, it's us. Personally I don't see the problem with open borders, we're all migrants to the country anyway. At what point do you define not being a migrant? 10 years, 100 years, 500 years? Crazy.

The majority of the bigoted people here don't recognise that. They'll see the fact someone has a slightly different colour of skin or whatever and instantly assume they're foreigners regardless. It's mostly the older generation though rather than the younger generation who think that.
