RobattoJesus posted:Britain is a lot like Game of Thrones. It's fun to watch on tv, but you'd have to be a loving idiot to actually want to go there. Real life Game of Thrones spoiling the book is awesome. Book hasn't reached the War of the Five Queens yet. The IRL version already have Queen Merkel, Sturgeon, May? We just need Clinton take control of her house and maybe Eagle flay Corbyn and we will have a proper War of the Five Queens.

I really dont understand why most of the flags I see have ENGLAND written on them. is it to avoid mixups with the historical republic of genoa or to avoid being 'racist'?

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/nigel-farage-ukip-leadership-raheem-kassam-breitbart-editor-leader-bid-a7120281.html I want this to happen. For ukip to have an ex-Muslim as leader, the Tories to have their second woman as leader, and for labour to have an old white dude. Just loving do it, let's go full upside down bizarroland. British politics is entertaining at least.

Solice Kirsk posted:Easily too. You remove the federal government and the cartels wouldn't give two shits about some backwoods "militia" defending their ranches or a local police force. Those rancher's heads would be swinging from overpasses as a warning with in the first day. Mexican cartels don't gently caress around. I've seen those Mexican newspapers, where they juxtapose sexy senoritas with gruesome death shots. A lot of that stuff is straight out would make Ramsey Bolton squeamish. Korranus posted:Texans bucking for a Texit are safely medicated and/or 50 years from civilization Sadly, the Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick is a big proponent of this. I kinda wish secession talk held a federal felony charge so we could keep these fuckers from political office. Earwicker posted:planning on shaving off Wales as well? they voted Leave just as much as the English Despite voting Leave, Wales is looking at Scotland and Northern Ireland independence talk and thinking about going for it while the iron is hot. Cthulu Carl posted:That's a bit too geometrically complicated, but the color scheme is good. Yeah, that flag is a way bit too on the nose and it reminded me way too much of Norsefire. Edit: oh goddamnit, that's the joke. But I looked at those flags on the BBC website and a whole lot of people using black for some reason.

So I don't know much about this, being from the states, I heard that the "remain" people had or at least thought they had this in the bag up until pretty much the last minute and the result ended up being a fairly big surprise. So what happened that caused the big upset? I don't know much about the EU but even from my own limited perspective hearing that England is leaving it seems a bit crazy and scary. How were "leaves" able to pull this off? Did the "remains" fail to make a compelling argument in someway?

-Blackadder- posted:So I don't know much about this, being from the states, I heard that the "remain" people had or at least thought they had this in the bag up until pretty much the last minute and the result ended up being a fairly big surprise. remain ran, bar none, the worst campaign I have ever witnessed, to the point where I'm pretty sure they would have done better by literally not saying or doing anything The leave side would say "You're a slave to the EU!" and instead of coming up with some kind of rebuttal to that Remain would say "Yes, you absolutely are a slave to the EU, and we can't leave because Master won't like it!". They essentially totally conceded the point that there was no reason to stay in the EU other than fear of the consequences of leaving. Their campaign was such a putrid combination of condescension and fearmongering that by the end of it even people who believed what they said couldn't stomach voting with them. It was like they were trying to convince people to leave with reverse psychology. "Oh, we're not good enough to get away with leaving. We NEED the EU, because we're weak and pathetic without it."

NPR had an interesting article today about how India is slowly coming aorund to the idea of the Brexit being a good thing for them. For a country with as many ties to the UK as they have, they were locked out of pursuing lucrative trade and labor deals due to EU stupidity. It would be pretty funny to see the UK pull a trade deal off with over a billion people that puts them on a better standing than the EU.

Well half a billion of them live in the UK, so if we can't even pull that trade deal off we are even more hosed than I thought.

I can't tell if the reason you would know such a trivial thing about a dude who is so non-famous he doesn't have a Wikipedia page is because you're a crazy person who tries to get people deleted from Wikipedia or you're a ukip supporter who doesn't want a brown person as leader?
