Is this a valid analogy to the entire Brexit trainwreck? Image if you were a manager, and your employees get to go to your boss and define performance goals that you have to meet in order to keep your job. At the same time all of your employees hate you and want to get rid of you, and have completely opposite criteria for meeting the goals.

No, it's more that you're running an engineering firm and the IT staff begged you for a go on the production line for 5 minutes while you took a fag break. Everything is now on fire and they're blaming you for them losing their jobs, and it's also your fault for thinking it was a good idea. Basically everyone is poo poo and shouldn't have done anything in the first place.

Gum posted:Britain is a fallen empire that's completely convinced that it will one day rise again This is also why Russia and Turkey are such nutso countries. China has been dealing with the fallout of losing that sense of self for 200 odd years. Obsessing over losing that status like some paranoid old king has long been driving the US insane as well. The French may yet lose their minds. Power and the memory of it makes you crazy man.

Pick posted:how can EVERY empire be falling? Most of those already fell, the Turks lost their empire almost exactly 100 years ago. But the crazy puffed up arrogance can remain a long time. Hell China lost their sense of being supreme like 150 years ago, and even now that they're back to being an important powerful country they still act like a super insecure nutjob about it. HAHAHA CHINA IS B-BACK, J-JUST LIKE NORMAL! YEAH! LAST CENTURY OR TWO WAS THE EXCEPTION! gently caress ALL YALL! I WILL BUILD FAKE ISLANDS TO CLAIM ENTIRE SEAS. MY PENIS IS VERY BIG DID YOU KNOW?

Yeah, if China wanted to expand their territorial waters they should have done it the normal, fair way by finding real islands, killing everyone on them, and planting their flag 400 years ago.

Like, fine, you want out of the EU but what did they do precisely that made you mad enough to burn their flag? You know how Donald Trump ran on the platform on blaming all the ills of capitalism on Obamas and Mexicans? The EU are Britain's Obamas and Mexicans.

The term 'EUSSR' which was popularised by the Norwegian mass murderer Breivik is really popular among that crowd Some of the more ambitious Tories have echoed the comparison in the hopes that they become the Gammon Chosen One when May falls

The vote on the deal is now "before January 21st" meaning every business in the country will be doing it's no deal plans because it'll be too late otherwise. About to see a whole load of businesses relocate out of the country because she's too loving cowardly to have the vote and/or gently caress off

Yup, she's trying to force it through by leaving it so late that enough of them will vote for it rather than risk no deal.

Glenn Quebec posted:Please tell me British politicians haven't been eating Breivik.. I can't prove it but British anti-European sentiment didn't traditionally make the USSR comparison and they've only been willing to make it since Breivik did in his manifesto. When the Foreign Sec compared the EU to 'a gulag' it was top-tier dogwhistling for people who think Breivik was right. It also pissed off most of Eastern Europe so it wasn't exactly for international audiences
