Ghost Leviathan posted:This is a Paradox games joke I presume? Though I half wonder if it has historical precedent. History is nuts. And also picturing it being the Irish throwing a huge kegger. Yeah. I'm pretty sure half the balance feedback in the Europa Universalis series is sourced exclusively from ways people find to conquer the entire Ottoman Empire using only the sad remains of post-fall Byzantium.

Frog Act posted:my understanding is that the EU funds a bunch of programs for dying industries directly and via trade things, plus common funds for services that are required by EU law for all member states to maintain (anti-discrimination, food safety, etc). is that at all accurate? Yes. The EU has pumped a great deal of money into impoverished regions of the UK. Some of these places overwhelmingly voted leave. I think it was somewhere in Cornwall (a county that has benefited enormously from EU funding) that just after voting leave asked whether they'd still be getting millions in assistance after brexit.

the "no deal is a trojan horse to privatize everything" theory significantly underestimates how disastrous no deal will be to almost every facet of the british economy and to the electoral fortunes of the party responsible, imo e: also labour just decided that this guy isn't an anti-semite and can be let back into the party

The long-term interests of the former do not need to align with the individual interests of the latter, if the latter just want to cash out. (Similar to how certain private equity firms can act when looking towards divestment of a company.)

Just fuckin' lol at the Brexit CHUDness of this. Ireland is already reaping the benefits of Brexit, as it's soon to be the sole country within the EU where English is the native language spoken by the entire population and which also has a highly-educated skilled workforce attractive to American investors. Around Dublin they can't build new office blocks fast enough to accommodate the companies moving their European HQs from London to Europe.

The international bourgeois will therefore value British fixers very highly, there's no contradiction between the international bourgeois and local ultra nationalists sometimes appearing to be at odds whilst clearly both being money grabbing scumbags.

Brexit is already costing the UK’s public finances £17bn a year, according to a detailed study released ahead of critical votes in parliament this week. The amount would be sufficient to pay 10,000 more police to patrol the streets and train nurses to fill every vacancy in England, and still leave enough to cover the UK’s current contribution to the EU’s budget. The research from the Centre for European Reform estimates the UK economy is 2.3 per cent smaller than it would have been had Britain voted to remain in the EU back in 2016. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...s-a8746846.html

alphabettitouretti posted:Check out this response from the piece of poo poo responsible for that article: https://www.quickloans.co.uk/quick-news/response-to-the-jail-for-debtors-article My name is Graeme Wingate, and I'm the boss here at QuickLoans.co.uk. I'm going to write this to clear up some bits about the article. Nowhere in here will you find an apology. If that is what you have come for, you can take your "foster offence" and leave. I've been in this business for around ten years. I've never had a single complaint against me or any of my businesses lodged against me with the FCA, FOS or OFT. I have never sold one PPI product. I don't need to justify myself to anyone over my record in this industry and won't any further. Now to the article that was written. We limit our articles to around 300 words (our readers like reading brief, concise articles.) The article was never intended to be sensationalist, it was just a small article that was seen by the permanently offended, shared across social media, and somehow ended up with journalists, MPs and finally the High Priest of Virtue Signaling that is Martin Lewis. [It continues in this manner for some time]
