We will finally get an answer to 'Does France really hate all refugees or is it just massively racist?'

From what the French/Italians in the Euro thread have been saying, the modern far right basically just shifted its anti-Italian rhetoric unto Muslims/Africans - so their xenophobia might be deeper than merely racist. On the other hand, maybe they've become inclusive in the face of a more foreign culture/religion, since the modern far right is apparently also disproportionally descended from the very same Italians it used to decry.

At least the chances of us having to risk grabbing a cluster munition which is exactly the same size and colour and also being dropped by American planes is quite low.

You know what wasn't a part of the question of the referendum?

"Do you also agree to let the Tories have carte blanche over the future of the country for multiple generations?". Which is what they're attempting to do.

Let's lay out a timetable to help foreigners like you understand what has happened here in the last couple of years:



[2015]

- Tories win majority in 2015 somewhat unexpectedly and for some reason Cameron decides to actually hold a brexit vote put into the manifesto solely to shut up malcontent tory backbenchers (which it wouldn't, obviously, and hasn't)



[2016]

- Brexit campaign happens and both Tory-fronted sides were a shower of shite. Tom Watson dogwhistles about Labour being favour of tighter border controls while Remaining, Eamonn McCann sides with Dan Hannan in Northern Ireland to vote Leave. Great stuff.

- Leave actually wins, lol.

- Every party in England implodes instantly. SNP says it wants a third referendum on independence despite it being 20 minutes since the last one.



[2017]

- Tories don't appear to have done anything for a year. David Davis claims to have worked very hard on reports, but dog ate it on way to parliament and also if he says anything or shows people that he's done any heavily confidential work the Europeans will use it against him.

- Labour loses seats in places it has never lost them before in Northern England and gets annihilated in local elections.





Nailed it.




[2017-2018]

- Tory Coalition Government 2 proposes whimsical policy ideas to the EU, every one of which has been rejected.

- Tory Coalition Government 2 proposes whimsical policy ideas to their coalition partners in Northern Ireland, every one of which has been rejected

- Tory Coalition Government 2 proposes whimsical policy ideas to Scotland and Wales, which have been rejected, causing minor constitutional crisis.

- Tory Coalition Government 2 proposes that it should whimsically rewrite every law in the UK despite failing to get anyone else in the entire world to agree to anything it has to say, ever. Upper house says no.




[A week from now]

- Heavily cucked Tory Coalition Government 2 tries to force through entire legislative agenda including votes on 15 amendments in 12 hour day at parliament.

Opposing this is antidemocratic, of course.

Let Trump Handle Brexit: An Explosive Leaked Recording Reveals Boris Johnson’s Private Views About Britain’s Foreign Policy

quote:

Asked about Donald Trump, Johnson was positive about the US President and even joked that he wouldn’t mind having him lead the Brexit negotiations.

“I am increasingly admiring of Donald Trump,” Johnson said. “I have become more and more convinced that there is method in his madness.”

“Imagine Trump doing Brexit,” Johnson said. “He’d go in bloody hard… There’d be all sorts of breakdowns, all sorts of chaos. Everyone would think he’d gone mad. But actually you might get somewhere. It’s a very, very good thought.”

quote:

Asked whether China is an ally or a threat, Johnson said: “China is a rival. China is a rival, but China is a rival whose growth and whose incredible developing power can be used to our advantage.”

He added: “We need to engage with China diplomatically, treat China as our friend and our partner, but also recognise that they are our commercial rivals. And they will try to stiff us.”

quote:

The European Commission is playing hardball in the negotiations to try to prove to the other 27 member states that it’s not worth trying to leave, Johnson told the activists.

“I think Theresa is going to go into a phase where we are much more combative with Brussels,” he said.

“You’ve got to face the fact there may now be a meltdown. OK? I don’t want anybody to panic during the meltdown. No panic. Pro bono publico, no bloody panic. It’s going to be all right in the end.”
