Whenever I hear about brexit it always seems everyone's trying to pass the buck without having to actually push the button. It's going to devolve into some kind of bureaucratic Hot Potato game and it'll suck to be the one left when the Music Stops

Yeah one of the major lols of the whole repubs hating obamacare thing is that romney is one of the people who first implemented the model, which was dreamt up by a host of Republican diehards as a way to keep insurance companies happy while allowing red politicians to get elected in blue states

Also it seems like Brexit passed but now no one in power actually wants to go through with it and you'll eventually get to the point where your politicians find a way to graciously back out of it, like by getting concessions from the EU enough to shut up all but the most racist of your voters. Or has it already passed the point of no return?

I am incredibly stupid
anyone with half a brain realises that even if its not a complete disaster (lol) it will never live up to the wild promises of the nutters who ran the leave campaign and the loud pissed off people who voted for it are probably not going to get any less loud or pissed off when things dont turn out to be all rainbows and unicorns in brexit britain

basically its quite likely it will destroy their careers as well as the economy

naturally they are continuing full steam ahead and calling anyone who thinks it might not be such a great idea a traitor


its a lot less funny and a lot more depressing than trump imho, although boris johnson is extremely similar in a lot of ways hes just not very amusing

It's only beyond no return when Article 50 is signed by the PM, and that hasn't happened yet.
The rich racists are the ones out in front calling for it to be done.
It's going to be hilarious watching 70% of UK farming go out of business as their EU paid subsidies have stopped.

One funny lol moment, just to show that the US isn't full of loving retards.
When the Brexit vote was won, NI had a farmer interviewed. He voted to leave the EU claiming he wasn't making enough money.
He was then told he may lose upto 80% of his current money as they were loving subsidies from the EU.
I wish I had recorded it, was on TV.

the big powers in the EU know they can't give britain any concessions or everyone else will threaten to leave too -- plus britain already has more benefits than any other country thanks to maggie getting them in return for joining in the first place. germany got them to agree that england can either decide not to leave or leave on their own terms but nobody is going to give them poo poo

Not quite. There have been chances to stop it but they just keep pushing it forward. The Commons are prety much all pushing for it to go through, there was a vote that could have stopped it a couple of weeks ago but they voted in favour of suicide. Our last hope is the House Of Lords which is a whole other bag of lols.

The leader of the opposition is a massive pussy who is just rolling over and telling his MPs to vote in favour of exit, despite being one of the biggest political rebels himself when he was younger. He could be out there fighting the fight and gaining political ground but he's throwing it away, lol.

Then there's the people who want the government to announce their negotiation plans to the world. Because showing your hand from the start is always a good idea... lol

The biggest point of exiting to most people in favour of it was immigration, but without that immigration the economy will basically implode, similar to the USA. We don't want those eastern europeans taking our jobs, but we don't want to do those jobs ourselves either, lol

Massive farming subsidies will be gone.

Plus if the EU let us leave with good deals, other countries will leave too, like France if Marine Le Pen gets in.

Lols all round in here, the United Kingdom of Great Britain, who fought for 12 years to join the EU when other countries like France didn't want us.


Back to Trump, BBC wrote an article comparing him to Mao, Stalin and Nero in the first two sentences.

well johnson almost doesnt count as a brexiteer because he was pretty pro eu until he thought he could become prime minister by leading brexit to a narrow defeat but then they won and he has to deal with it forever lol




this is the guy representing us to the world, also he cant stop saying stupid rude poo poo and immediately getting called out for lying by other foreign ministers


also his campaign to be pm was ended when he got stabbed in the back by this guy

isn't there a direct correlation between the areas that voted for brexit and the amount of eu money received. it's like how red states put the least money in and take the most out while the blue states put the most money in and take the least out.

edit: lol that when I was a stupid little kid I actually thought a president would get removed or jailed or something if they made up a terror attack or almost spent as much on vacations in a couple of months as their predecessor did in two terms or anything he did older than 1 or 2 days

In a way politicians are somewhat reflective of the values of its people.

Many people do not know how to rise above insulting the other side and trying to see why they vote the way they do. Most people hold tightly to the edge they have in life. Politicians abuse that because they can.

I've said before to other liberal friends "I can see why people could vote Trump" and in a lot of cases their answer is "NO NO NO THERE IS NO REASON TO VOTE FOR HIM YOU KNOW IM A MINORITY!!!"

But, nearly half the country voted for Trump and they sure aren't all redneck racists with no education.

So long as people firmly keep their heads up their asses politicians will abuse this, keep us fighting over ridiculous stuff and insulting each other so we overlook our own side's faults, and each side (R and D) can pillage the country in their own way when they get in power, and avoid a narrative that really solves a problem cause we are too busy worrying about Trump's remarks or Clinton's emails or whether Obummer is a secret mooslem.
