That's not to say it was a good idea. Just that you understand the causes beyond "lmao the english are mean! Perfidious albion!!!!!!!!!!"

They're people who've been eating far right wedge issue propaganda from the papers then social media for decades until that's all that's left of them. Maybe if a government or two had tried economic regeneration anywhere outside London it would have helped but the Daily Mail was never going away. Too late now.

All you need to know is that the UK government is trying to convince the EU to allow the English to isolate and gently caress over Ireland, but they themselves have no argument why the EU should entertain their plan. Meanwhile the default plan that will come into effect in absence of any negotiated solution will make Northern Ireland economically integrated with the Republic of Ireland, and separated by a trade barrier from Great Britain, but this is solely the government 's fault for being incompetent.

No the default is a hard border in Ireland that happens because the UK couldn't agree to anything else. There's literally no understanding on how that will work in practice except that the UK will almost certainly be breaking some sort of international trade law because of it.

May: I got a new deal through parliament and I think you will be very interested in hearing it.

European diplomats: Does it have the backstop or an alternative for it?

May: Oh no we're past that we've already decided that's not necessary. No now we've added a clause where all EU citizens need to wear a pin that says UK is Best. In return we promise not to look too smug.

European diplomats: ...

May: I'll see myself out, see you next week!

Yeah, the point I was trying to make was to say it's ironic that the British can ve xenophobic and against migration while the British population is entirely descended from people who came there from elsewhere. It's not a very good point either, I mostly just wanted to create a context to post the bumboat map
