The immense backlash against the government for the remainder of the year after brexit happens is going to be fascinating. They can't exactly blame anyone else, they've been in power for nine years.

It's all the EU's fault.

And if it's not, it isn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did...

You voted for it.

Edit: Happy birthday Ms Adequate!

The other four Mambos must not be played. The first one summons locusts, the second one turns water to blood, we never found where the test subjects we got to play the third one went, and the fourth one's just kind of sucks.

That sounds really medically useful but I keep playing it and it's not working. (Thanks for posting them CGI Stardust).

Can you please stop? I'm trying to make tea and suddenly there's blood everywhere!

What about a peaceful annexation of the UK via Ireland by EU forces?

What's the royal navy going to do? rust and sink to block the path with its 5 remaining hulls?

I hear there's a tunnel now. Makes you think.

Unless it costs 150 quid to use the british railways. Then we'll pass on invading.

Much like "no deal is better than a bad deal" it turns out that the brexitest, dumbest part of the electorate are really good at remembering slogans you made up just to score a few cheap points. "Die in a ditch" is going to do work I'm sure.


We have more or less actual prison slave labour in this country, I don't want to go into any detail of how I know about this but there are companies getting work done in prison workshops (at a tiny cost) which would be completely economically impossible otherwise. And this is in sectors where the alternatives are investing in expensive machinery or cutting edge research so it's a definite case of directly holding back the economy from becoming more productive.

E: I guess it's not really slave labour since I believe that the prisoners can decline to do it but the alternative is staying in a cell all day and they do get some pathetic amount of pay like a few quid a day, but it fucks up worker power just as badly

In the american system they do this and look at what the absolute minimum they are required by law to feed prisoners. Inmates can buy bread and rice at the prison store if they don't want to starve. No-one is "forced" to work. You're free to starve.
