City of Tampa posted:how does this work though because now we're weeks away from the brexit vote and I keep hearing this but nobody can explain why except "bankers are really mad" and "my international vacations and foreign investment properties will be more difficult/expensive to manage" Idk about all that other stuff but a few real estate funds based in the UK have already halted trading and have started liquidating assets because so many investors are trying to cash out.

I love how the Tory party just went "oh no you really gave the elites a bloody lip ouch ouch owwww *pretends to get stabbed by a wooden sword* we're totally going to have listen to the people now that's for sure" and then manages to swap out Cameron for the exact same person but in a woman's body not just without asking the people of the U.K. but without even asking anyone in their poo poo party. Much like how security checks at airports are just theatre so now is democracy. Lol

Three if we're being generous to wales. There's no chance north ireland will be A Thing by the time the queen formally steps down and kneels in front of the US President. A monocled bulldog sheds a single tear in the background. On the bright side the chavs won't survive nightfall on that day.

How the gently caress will rich people be able to get rich as gently caress by just owning some bricks? I can't believe these racist poor people might be able to own a house. I'm loving livid.

You are incredibly optimistic about the positive effects for the working class and the negative ones for the class of people who are still entirely capable of preventing this from actually going much further if they really want to, but simultaneously assholish and cynical in your assumptions about people who disagree with you. You're a person of contradictions, and also dumb.

Can't we just have a class war already?

Yeah the global economy didn't crash or anything resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs and an economic depression we are still recovering from. I mean you're not wrong about rich rear end in a top hat manipulators getting richer from shorting poo poo but still.

To be fair the entire system needs a good smashing but every time anyone attempts to smash it all the people who go on about smashing the system go nuts about how loving dumb it is to gently caress with capitalism like some kind of class warfare uncle toms. I'm sitting here with my anarchy trousers on and everything and if no one smashes the system soon I'm just going to go to bed.

Yeah there's some truth to that. The economy is cyclical but ideally in a healthy capitalist economy the cycles are not so exaggerated though.

It's actually a really interesting point that you see a lot in history after revolutions. Once you start actually dicking with the capitalist mechanisms poo poo goes south real quick and everyone quickly turns on you and goes 'wtf man.' I think the left's biggest issue really is that they have nothing to replace what they decry. Yeah poo poo is hosed but it's easy to say poo poo is hosed - what do you replace it with? What happens the morning after the revolution?

I'm glad divide and rule isn't a thing the ruling elite will have learned in Roman Emperor studies or whatever at Eton. Would be pretty embarrassing if all the stupid slap fighting in this thread is actually the whole point of Brexit: keep the poor fighting amongst themselves so they can never join forces and actually get the power to affect change. At least we have a female PM who no one voted for, that's pretty progressive.

One of our clients is in a bit of a mess right now....the European Medicines Agency, which is located in London. They are very likely to relocate to mainland Europe due to Brexit. They are largest EU employer in Britain. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-corporates-pharmaceuticals-idUSKCN0ZA26J Reuters posted:Industry executives fear upheaval at the EMA could snarl the EU's drug approval process and Britain may have to develop its own domestic regulatory system, leading to further confusion.

ElGroucho posted:I like the whole class system thing in Britain Everything you say and do in Britain is a class identifier, from your name to what you call your evening meal and it saturates all British media The central character dynamic in Dad's Army was based around the massive chip on Mainwaring's shoulder at being Wilson's social inferior despite being his Captain in the Home Guard and boss at the bank. Because Mainwaring was lower middle class and Wilson was upper middle class. Keeping up appearances is based around a person trying to act higher born than she is and being embarrassed by her working class sisters. In Harry Potter 2 there's a character called Justin Finch-Fletchley which is the poshest name it's possible to have and he was going to go to Eton which is the worlds poshest school for rich little twats including noted pig fucker David Cameron and he gets attacked by a snake for being a low born garbage person in the wizard world.
