Instead of SSRIs for depression they can give you St John's Wort!

Instead of pain medication they'll just give you the address of your local smack dealer.

My mum lives in Beds so it's easy to get a flight to Luton to go and see her.

A couple years ago a friend from New York came over from Sweden while she and some friends were doing research there.

"Oh my god we're finally in London!" They all cheered.

No. They loving weren't.

Why don't you guys just do a "you sure about this" vote? Seems like you're going to gently caress yourselves over and no one's happy about it?

Because the current government is propped up entirely by people who want to saw their own arms off regardless of what anyone tells them.

May's broken plenty of promises but breaking this one will cost the Tories most of their support.

The rural areas are racist as gently caress but big cities are the polar opposite.

If you start a racist rant on a bus or train the passengers will force you off. Try to organise a white power demo and there'll be so many counter-protesters you won't make it out of the train station.

Its pretty stupid to argue against the English people being racist when they voted for maximum racism and haven’t changed their mind.

It would be like arguing Americans aren’t racist when 40% of them still love Trump.

Yes, both counties being perfect examples of homogeneous societies.


Additionally, the whole "all Brexit/Trump voters are racist by definition :downswords:" viewpoint is exactly the kind of thinking that got both the US and UK into the shitshows they find themselves in.

It limits money that can be spent on no-deal preparations, making it either a) less of a possibility or b) much more catastrophic if it does happen, b) reinforcing a), hopefully.

It's not like there's much preparation that will actually make no-deal brexit at all palatable to anyone, right?

Definitely not, but the simple act of actually doing it makes it look like you think a no-deal is a valid option.

I'm not ruling out it being a scare tactic to get everyone on board with the deal, but this government has been so monumentally incompetent I don't know what to believe.

The only reason Scotland got an independence referendum and a chance for direct democracy was because the government knew it would go their way.

The only reason a Brexit referendum was given was to appease the eurosceptics being wooed by UKIP and because the government knew it would go their way.

The reason why so many Brexiteers are shooting down talk of a second referendum is because they know it probably won't go their way again.


The whole campaign last year was an utter farce, the Leave camp broke electoral law and outright lied. Remain were equally poo poo, but for different reasons. Democracies only really make sense if your voting public are making an informed decision, and that was absolutely not the case.

I'm reasonably confident, that with 3 years of hindsight and watching the government flop about ineffectively and clearly demonstrating that it's not up to the task it cornered itself into, that not leaving the EU at this point would be pissing on a lesser half of the population.

If it were up to me, I'd cancel the whole thing (but I live and work abroad in an EU country, of course I would). At the same time, I'd definitely back another referendum, we're infinitely better informed about what we're getting ourselves into than last time, that seems a hell of a lot more democratic to me.

If it went Leave again, then gently caress it, the UK deserves to implode anyway.
