etalian posted:It's amusing how they don't get that they are the weaker party in the negotiation and their position is getting weaker over time as the No Deal option becomes more likely. I'm not sure there was ever supposed to be a deal. You keep saying "they" and "the brits" but this is being done by a small group of people who were never acting in good faith and want a race to the bottom with a little bit of disaster capitalism on the side. The dumb rear end gammons that gave them the go ahead to do this aren't actually running things. Regarde Aduck has issued a correction as of 20:23 on Jan 19, 2019 |

System Metternich posted:So if I got this right, May's newest idea is to negotiate a separate deal with Ireland even though Dublin has repeatedly made it clear that this is not something that is going to happen, ever? From the little things being leaked from her cabinet it's clear she's all in with the hard brexit side of her government rather than try to appeal to parliament. Which means now more than ever everything she does is just to stall while we shamble towards no deal. Yes she is incompetent but I think from now on the incompetence is going to be pantomime. I expect all manner of bullshit 'ideas' will be floated and then quickly dismissed as we approach the vote in February. It also seems this has stopped whatever jitters were making people leak that a GE was imminent. I'd love to be wrong about that last bit but eh, it's gone very quiet and all our lovely media is just going around in circles going "can May REALLY rewrite the GFA!????!?!? IS this GOOD or BAD? DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" which means absolutely nothing is happening.

forkboy84 posted:There are few things as Tory as dismissing reading books as a middle class pastime Jesus wept. I think it's more a reference to education. I mean it's not wrong is it? Education level did play a pretty large part in how the vote split. We can get precious about the political consciousness of the modern British working class, or lack of, but we're surely not going to defend ignorance? The difference is a Tory sneers while a leftist should be like "oh dear everyone is loving dumb, better improve access to education".

twoday posted:Their idiot plans are to declare martial law to try to bring order to the chaos and then rig the economy so that they profit the most from it, but actual organized crime and smuggling cartels will step in to do both of these things more efficiently and effectively than the tories, as happened in post-Soviet Russia. They overestimate A) their ability to control the situation (imagine if the implementation of martial law is managed as well as Brexit planning), and B) their ability to profit in post-Brexit Britain, because they don’t even have a basic understanding of how the world they are creating is going to work. The tories are going to be pounded in the butt by the invisible hand of the market they’ve unleashed. They don't give a gently caress about the country or their party so who cares? They'll make their money and go live in New Zealand. They don't have master plans so how can they fail? They have no plans at all other than make money and i'm sure they'll manage that. They usually do.

Relevant Tangent posted:If your egg came from a hen that had a name, was well cared for, and relatively well off then the European beliefs about eggs are correct. What do you think the odds are that's where the eggs you're eating came from? The EU has a higher rate of salmonella than the US because of a fantasy version of where food comes from. The data I found to back this up is old as hell and if someone has better please post. In the UK at least most people buy "free range" eggs and there is a symbol on them to prove that "free range" actually means what it says. Now whether you can trust the organisation that regulates this is another question. I've never put eggs in the fridge and never got salmonella but I've also never bought battery-farmed eggs.

Jel Shaker posted:we’re just waiting for the vote which will literally be a few days before b-day, same vote that May recently lost too so don’t expect it to pass Her deal is just hard brexit with two years of messing about to take the edge off things. It's terrible. It all depends on if you are on vital medication or know someone on vital medication because if so I guess she has you by the balls and her deal is better than no deal. If you have the privilege of being a pragmatic rear end in a top hat then the absolute chaos of no deal might at least result in the tories collapsing. But yeah, there will be a death count. Like instinctively, in my heart of hearts I want the absolute chaos of no deal over May getting her way via hostage taking. But intellectually I realise that's really horrible. I guess the moral of this is that a politician shouldn't have been able to do this in the first place. That she has been able to position her deal as being the only way to prevent hundreds - thousands of deaths should be a criminal case. She should see jail for this. Instead it's a point on contention on an internet forum.

Moridin920 posted:jesus It's a bit more complex than that. Ireland isn't particularly in a rush to take on Northern Ireland with its lovely local economy. And if the Northern Irish don't want to be part of Ireland you'll get a lot of violence again. It's going that way anyway. Every year polls show more people wanting reunification. Just got to wait for the olds to die. No one is desperately holding onto NI. There just isn't the political will in Ireland, Northern Ireland or the UK to change anything at this point.

Glenn Quebec posted:Not at all Brexit but why are you Brits ruining porn for yourselves? I really cannot fathom it. I don't know why you always assume we're in control of our government any more than any other western nation that's gone off the rails. They do what they want buddy. I mean if you really want to know this all started when an old woman whose daughter was murdered by some sex weirdo, wrote a letter to Cameron. Cameron decided this old woman was some kind of gestalt entity made up of the entire Tory base. Wanting to keep them all happy he put in motion a series of new laws that ISP's had to start policing content. Combined with 'anti-piracy' measures the UK now has a giant firewall in place waiting for the order to snap shut. So far they've decided only to soft ban porn and a arbitary selection of torrent sites. Where is this all going and what agenda does it serve? Capitalism I assume. Somehow? Maybe they want 'top shelf mags' to become profitable again? Maybe that's what our economy will be based on.

That all depends on if they've given up on 'no brexit'. The best possible outcome, ignoring this threads fetishistic lust for Brit death, is for brexit not to happen. I think the most unbelievable thing for the EU is that May's government hasn't collapsed. It really looked like it would at multiple points and i'm sure they were getting ready for better negotiations with a new government. But here we are. The idea that the EU is already in destroy Britain mode is just a fantasy of this thread because you're all loving weird and think normal everyday people should pay the price for what Lord Smithington Smithe the IVth did in 1858.
