I don't think you can go "gently caress all of you, I'm glad your poorest and most vulnerable will suffer" then get self-righteously indignant when someone tells you you're being an rear end in a top hat, tbh

I think R. Mute posted:You spit in the face of all your neighbouring countries and of one of the largest trade blocks in the world - and let's face it, they hated your guts even beforehand. is a very accurate description of the situation. I'm not glad that Britain, as a nation, shot itself in the foot. But I don't think I'm mistaken in saying that everyone on the continent is acutely aware that that bullet was aimed at us and that you don't have to expect too much sympathy from the lich kings of Brussels.

You're posting that as if many of us were pro Brexit. Most of us are just resigned to our fate at this point, and just trying to make the most of a lovely situation; i.e. maybe we'll get a socialist government.

Is this one of those things where you live in some remote part of Scotland which is about 20 years behind everyone else? I was just thrifty and got the cheapest/dumbest smartphone i could, was pretty amazed at it. this new one is just ridiculously better. I just was not interested in having a smartphone until I realised that I could use it to play flac audio files. as far as mobiles go, I had a nokia brick in japan while everyone else was using bleepers/pagers. I'm just seriously out of phase with any technology that's not a watercooled "gaming" computer.

On the other hand that's partly why I'm genuinely not sure what will happen if Corbyn gets in power, he's going to still pursue brexit but I think just having someone who isn't a complete raving idiot to talk to opens up the opportunity to negotiate far more than the tories will be able to do. Brexit is still stupid because it's "give me stuff or I'll shoot my other foot off" which was my main opposition to it, but I dunno, I can't really figure how much of the EU's current position is dictated by the tories being complete loving idiots.

Entire talking points centered around non-EU member Turkey, about Sharia Law, about Syrian refugees, about laws that were made in the UK, about the ECtHR, about international treaties that would still be in place post any kind of Brexit barring full Juche hermit kingdom Brexit.

R. Mute posted:I know where most of you guys stand and any spite in my posts was just talking from the perspective of EU negotiators. I just feel like discussions like the one in the previous x pages about the possibilities of Brexit are prone to forgetting that it's not just down to whichever British camp gets into power. Unless you're going to ignore the referendum, Britain's hand has already been dealt. 90% of all ongoings surrounding Brexit within Britain at the moment is just meaningless posturing at this point. Eh, I think there's still going to be a difference in negotiations between Corbyn, who actually has a position and seems willing to talk in good faith, and Theresa May, whose idea of good negotiation tactics is to scream "DO WHAT I WANT OR I'LL poo poo MYSELF" over and over again

For one entire year, the official British government position has been that Brexit will happen. You don't even have a loving domestic opposition to it - you all agree that you're going to leave the union. The rest of us have been watching you a bit bemused, since if you're really planning to leave, why don't you loving do the work involved? You know, the nasty bits of policy, deciding which ones you're gonna gently caress over? Instead you continue doing month after month of bickering, changing your ministers and shadow ministers and shouting at each other in Parliament and what the gently caress is your plan? Because you know a bunch of your current secretaries were involved with the loving leave campaign, the whole idea of which was that someone else would do the work once the campaign was over. And what you're doing now looks an awful lot like that - you don't do the Brexit, you're just sitting around waiting for it to happen. It's loving disrespectful is what it is. Who's gonna take responsibility for it?

Maybe I'm just simplifying things to left vs. right too much here, but it seems weird that the common sense belief about why people voted brexit is still "moslems git" and not the bold lies about how brexit would reverse all the obscene NHS cuts and privatization and make everything work again. I mean the majority of Leave voters went Labour this election. I dont know, It just seems more plausible considering that the whole campaign to brexit started happening after Osbourne's fuckery started murdering shitloads of disabled people declared fit-to-work.

I mean the majority of Leave voters went Labour this election. Immigration and border control came up repeatedly because the public at large thinks immigration is a resource drain that can be stemmed. Labour offered an entirely different narrative that still made clear the complaints of the working class in particular vz immigration were valid, in that there was a serious problem in Britain, but offered an achievable solution that the public were ready to accept; austerity is a murderous lie. e; oh and the massive rise in hate crime supports the position that the leave vote emboldened violent racists

I mean if I have to spell it out, the tories have no plan, they chased brexit out of sheer populism and have no idea how to deliver on it, they've assigned a complete moron to lead the negotiations, and Theresa May's approach to anything difficult is to lock herself in a room and hide from it. The UK government are completely, mind numbingly stupid, and half of them actually think this is still 1850 and the British Empire is still as strong as it ever was and also that it was completely great, and most of the country probably agrees with them on both counts. And almost everybody in this thread is aware of this. We just can't actually do anything about it.
