Aren't chainsaws supposed to have a sort of dead-man handle that shuts them off if you let go while it's running? :stare:

Pretty sure it is shut off, you can see it's not spitting out any more saw-dust. It's wiggling like that because of the tension on the blade.

No dead-man on a chainsaw. If you let go, the clutch releases and the blade stops moving but it stays running. The saw does have a kickback guard that uses a brake to stop the chain if you should catch the tip or run into a piece of wire.

I finally found a video, you can hear that the chain stops moving but the motor is still running as he runs away.

Parliament is not going to overturn the referendum result. You can't ask an entire country's opinion on a thing and then say "WELL YOUR OPINION SUCKS", it tends to get you kicked out of office the next year.

In Australia the party in power is trying to set up a plebiscite over marriage equality because their hand has pretty much been forced and if they don't do something they're going to suffer for it at the upcoming election because something like 75% of Australians want marriage equality. But they're also massive loving bigots so they've made sure to change the rules governing plebiscites so that, even if the Australian public vote for it, it won't be binding to individual politicians and they'll still be free to vote against it.

Making the entire event utterly worthless.

So why are all these guys quitting again if they're the opposition? Weren't they the ones pushing for Brexit?

the leader of the party is genuinely left wing and they don't like him because they've decided he can't get elected so they're loving the party over to put someone they like who is also unelectable but is right wing

The free movement of people is seen to be an impediment for British people to achieve jobs, potentially with good reason.
Been reading that Daily Mail, I see. The UK has (had) 5% unemployment, well within the OECD's "full-employment unemployment rate" of 4 to 6.4%.

There is also a great deal of anger at the very idea that foreign visitors are coming to Britain, not being able to find work, and then claiming benefits.
For all of three months. There's a reason practically nobody with an education fell for this poo poo.

Let's be honest here, I might have been an EU immigrant to England, but Germany has better weather and 20% better wages. The yobs and olds will surely get their wish of no foreigns fulfilled once the gap explodes to even more. All the racist attacks will help too, I bet.

I know this, but try explaining it to others.

And yes I know its stupid that people get cross about it when millions is taken out fo the economy to be spent on things like HS2 and so on. But the fact is that people fell for it because there is a feeling of a lack of opportunity. Now we may very well say, with good reasons and a shitload of graphs, that the reason for their lack of opportunity is bastards in fancy suits.

It is an impedement to some people who lack jobs because all they want is a job where you need a head and a torso and be fine. Now an arguement could potentially be made for the fact that this is not because of migrant issues but of increasing power and money being concentrated into a smaller group of people and I would agree. But the way these people "feel" needs to be looked at. It isn't all just "Ein Folk" people goose stepping down the street, it is too large an amount of people for that. We can say "all people are a little bit racist to some degree" but if we are going to say that upwards of 50% of the people that voted in a nation is only voting against the EU because of Racism then I am sorry but we are all uttery hosed.

But ultimately I am not qualified to speak for people who didn't vote "in". I can try and understand their reasonings but I doubt I'll get it. We've failed people in this election, and it doesn't seem as if there is any way of stopping it getting worse. Saying "we" here I don't mean to include you in this Osama, I am just very sad and a bit afraid.
