Yeah, that's the type of deal I'd see in the future. Are there really any "BURN BRITAIN TO THE GROUND"-voices?

I don't care if britain stays in or leaves the eu but now that they have support again I want the scottish to hold another referendum on leaving, and for N. Ireland to join the republic or just become its own cool little country, and for Spain to annex gibraltar, all of which might happen and it makes me happy because empires are a force of inherent evil that should be dismantled and the english deserve to be a tiny insignificant half of an island nobody cares about.

Hopefully uk also loses all the little islands they also have around the globe to nearby nations and the world becomes an even better place for it, now if only the french and the americans imploded too.

All those places were won fair and square! If the Spanish deserved Gibraltar they would have been able to hold on to it.

I'm not a leave supporter (I live in the US so my opinion doesn't matter anyway), but the meltdown in D&D is glorious. They're saying stuff like: "Old people should not be allowed to vote" "there should be tests you have to pass in order to vote" "I wish stupid white people would just stop voting, maybe they should only count as 3/5ths of a vote" "The working class needs to stop being racist fuckwits and return to the more tolerant left". :roflolmao:

In other news, The House of Commons was talking about having a revote after the GBP dive. All I could think of was this

There were certainly people on the Remain side who said that leaving would result in the EU going full scorched earth on Britain, and I think there may have been one or two comments before the referendum that could have been loosely interpreted as threatening, but for the most part since the hammer came down they seem more concerned with preventing damage to their economies than with punishing britain, and preventing damage mostly involves keeping things as similar as possible

The EU leadership are already telling Britain that they are not getting a deal like Switzerland or Norway where they are basically in the EU without officially being a card-carrying member. None of this special treatment where they can quit their membership and stop paying dues but still come to the Sunday picnics which seems to be what some of the leave campaigners thought would happen.

Oh yeah don't screw up your luggage or anything like that. I just found it was like being on a bus, and the custom interiors they have are awful. It's cheap though so can't complain too much.

Doing a transatlantic flight with Aer Lingus was probably worse.

I read a few Der Spiegel articles to get some German perspective. Already some veiled threats leveled at Greece:

"Those who are uninterested in reform, those who slide from one emergency aid package to the next, should no longer be stopped if they think they would be better off with their own currency. That is a bitter conclusion, but unity for the sake of unity has lost its value. Now, it is about facts and about getting along. That is of more value than the temptations offered by Russia."

pretty much you'd better just be traveling alone and with hand luggage. if you're hauling stuff with you the non-budget airlines work out cheaper and aren't so uncomfortable to sit in after a couple hours.

To be fair, the meltdown is far from limited to D&D. The resentment is widespread among Londoners and more broadly younger voters across the country. There has for a while been some resentment towards the older generation, as it is often perceived their reckless finances of the 80s and 90s has caused today's younger generation to grow up in a world of debt, where buying a house is nigh on impossible for anyone but the richest, with the older generation having seen their assets multiplied hugely and with gold-plated pensions often backed by the taxpayer. It is now this same older generation that, based on long-entrenched anti-EU prejudices, have voted for a future that disadvantages the younger generation while likely having little effect on them.

There is similar resentment towards those Leave votes who did it for the immigration. It is clear that there are plenty of Leave voters who did so based on views that the economy would be better off outside of the EU. These voters I respect. But there is a large chunk of Leave voters who did it as they have been brought up to blame their life's problems on the EU and immigrants, and others who fell hook, line and sinker for the "take back control" argument which has no real basis in reality.

This comment from the Financial Times website sums up the feelings very articulately.
