There's a great independent, DIY attitude through a lot of the scene, by necessity because until recently it was pretty overlooked despite the occasional breakthrough of a Dizzee Rascal or a Lethal Bizzle. And incidentally, grime era Dizzee Rascal remains loving rad. And then guys like JME & Skepta are willing to be activists as well as musicians.

I feel like clear evidence of Russian interference/a conspiracy could be a pretty bona fides reason to have the Brexit vote cast aside or done again.

I don't see why not. Something really tangible like an email leak showing clear ties between farage and putin could turn it in to a pretty palatable position for a lot of people.

Why? The referendum wasn't binding, the UK is doing this because the government wants to and because it has a plurality of popular support, neither of those change if it turns out that nigel farage likes putin's polonium penis up his bum.

Just to be clear, I did say if tangible evidence was available - I haven't stated I believe that it actually exists. If senior figures in the leave campaign team were actively working as agents of a hostile foreign government that seems like a pretty good reason to me to render the result null and void.

Article 50 has been triggered, and it would be nearly impossible to establish a democratic consensus to reverse this within two years.

It wouldn't unless it convinced some significant fraction of Leave voters they were deceived, and nothing short of a vlog of Putin himself frenchig Nigel Farrage would do that.

Spangly A posted:the result doesn't matter. It never meant anything.

My understanding was that most of the politicians voting to trigger article 50 did so under the impression that there was a fair referendum on the issue, but they don't actually want Brexit. Demonstrate that the referendum result was flawed/dubious and there's your out.

Non-binding and all that Politically it does. It would be literal political suicide for whatever party cancelled Brexit.

Entropy238 posted:Where there's a will there's a way. They're doing it because it's popular. And not because it's actually majority popular either, because it never was, it had a slightly larger plurality than the alternative. Instead it was seized upon by the tories and UKIP and, to a degree, Labour, as a means to win support. That isn't going to go away regardless of what people say about the referendum and it is far too late in the day for anyone to renege on delivering some form of brexit unless we have a lib dem government next week. Technicalities about the referendum don't remotely change the reasons why brexit is happening which are: the UK is full of twats and: politicians are hungry to use it to win votes.

Besides that there's nothing stopping the next government from retriggering Article 50 after whoever stopped Brexit is slaughtered at the polls.

Capitalism.txt, 1905 edition:quote:"[Our long established privilege] is that outside the metropolitan area all land covered by water or Railways is exempted from 3/4 of the General District Rate. This is only fair because the Docks do not get any advantage from public expenditure on Roads, Sewage, Lighting, Police, Public Libraries, Baths, etc. Already we pay in Woolwich £7000 a year in rates and get no advantage and no representation, and if this Bill passes we shall have to pay £1100 a year more with absolutely no compensatory advantage. It does not seem fair thus to penalise Dock and Railway companies."

Stop doing mental gymnastics to imagine a timeline in which Brexit gets stopped. It won't be. Trust me, I also really really wish it weren't so, but it's happening, there's no turning the clock back, it's a reality and we have to deal with it. Now, at this point I'd much rather have a Labour Brexit than a Tory Brexit, that goes without saying.

I read a couple of papers on the tube earlier, and scanning the comments sent in regarding the leaders debate, several contributors mentioned the Magic Money Tree phrase. Given that it hasn't caught on elsewhere, I suspect there were several Tory activists last night writing/submitting comments to the papers, posing as ordinary members of the public, trying to get their phrase to spread

If there's going to be a hack, it'll be on the 7th or 8th. The odds of Russia actually caring or devoting major resources aren't too high.

Brexit is happening, realign your epistemes. Furthermore I am consigned that single market membership is not going to happen even under Labour, if not because of freedom of movement then due to state aid rules which are unlikely to be reformed under Merkel and Macron and may be a non-insignificant spanner in Labours investment bank idea depending how its planned
