I got ASDA to deliver the shopping today and it wasn't even a Mad Max driver (but they did substitue my gammon steak, bastards). Now if the pound would crash a bit I could transfer funds from Aus that I've put on hold. It's hard to pick the right time though because the sods out there are running the dollar into the ground as well. I wonder if anyone has been tracking all the predictions from the last 3 years. We could do with a web site to keep score of the fallout.

So Brexit is officially underway, huh. Has anything happened yet? Any markets crashing?

duckmaster posted:Just got told by a ‘farmers daughter’ (an actual way in which people describe themselves in rural farming areas) that is vegans (of which I am one) are destroying the british agricultural industry so I went on a completely ad-libbed three minute rant about how the tories now have free reign to gently caress over the last powerful union in the country (the NFU), the fact that we left the CAP which is the largest organisation in the word to try to keep farming produce at a competitive price to benefit the farmers and that every free trade agreement the US has entered into they’ve insisted on removing “country of origin” statements from packaging so once we’re trading with them even putting “British beef”on a package will be against the loving law. I agree with you except on the union front I would argue the RMT and ASLEF are pretty handy. loving hell ASLEF managed to wangle their members at one company an extra two grand a year by agreeing a deal they didn't have to honour the other week.

Grouchio posted:So Brexit is officially underway, huh. Has anything happened yet? Any markets crashing? Brexit happened at 11pm on a Friday so no, the markets haven't reacted. As you'd realise if you spent 1 nano-second thinking before posting but I assume your brain is so atrophied that even days of the week are too much for you to wrap your head around.

If it's not barmy EU bananas regulations causing unsustainable immigration, or whatever kicked this whole thing off, it will be dastardly unreasonable EU not negotiating in good faith (i.e. not giving Britain all the benefits of being in the EU). And if and when there is a deal, any problems will be blamed on its terms.

Went past Parliament around 9pm yesterday on the way back from work. It was about as surreal as expected. There was a family with a few teenage sons, I assume? All the sons were wearing 3 piece suits and Union Jack ties and were completely, utterly shitfaced, one was holding onto the railing of Westminster bridge and wobbling so hard it seemed he might just fall over. There was also an immense chap wearing an even larger flatcap walking a couple of bulldogs with his wife/girlfriend. Both were wearing flags on their backs and bulldogs were wearing Union Jack scarfs as well. A lady with a flag went past them and said: "Oh my, what amazing dogs! True British dogs!" in a voice I imagine when reading "uwu whats this ^^" copypastas. There were more cops than there were during the heights of XR stuff happening. A few were in the process of having to listen to some agitated explanations from random guys in their 50s who looked like they've been talking for a while. Some groups of people in Westminster station seemed to be lost and were asking for directions while standing about 10m away from the gates. In general, the public seemed to consist of either people under 21 or over 50. I didn't see anybody non-white who didn't look like they 1. are returning or going to work, 2. already working, but I was only passing by and spent a grand total of 5 minutes there.

David Davis has already blamed the people who stopped us leaving last March with No Deal for No Deal, because their efforts shortened the transition period. Apparently it's not in the government's power to extend that, while they refuse to use the extension they've already been granted.

Will the markets really react that much though? We all knew this was coming since mid December so it’s not like a big shock to the system. I expect the real shitshow will be toward the end of the year. Of course my expectations of the last election were catastrophically wrong so I could be talking bollocks as usual.

This reads like a pretty good prediction of the next few years, written in 2015. The problem is, despite it’s accuracy, the events it predicted have already happened; the liberal middle class tolerated Corbynism in 2017. But then ambiguity over Brexit lead to a short term Lib Dem revival that wasn’t quite over by polling day. Realistically, in an increasingly geriatric country, to seriously contend elections Labour needs the votes of the majority of pretty much every group that works for a living.

Stop looking at national numbers, or we're doomed to ever increasing majorities in zone 2 and third party status in parliament. I don't know how you can possibly say that. It's not just the people who voted Lib-Dem. There might be only a few dozen seats where you could add the Lib-Dem vote to the Labour vote and get a win. But that isn't even half the effect that the Lib-Dems had on the election. It's the people who saw the Lib-Dem attack lines and decided that they weren't going to vote at all, because Labour was the only possible non-tory option to win in their seat and Corbyn was a big racist brexiter. Attacking Labour depresses Labour turnout, and the Lib-Dems went all guns blazing on Labour, up and down the country.

Angepain posted:Can't we just call them freedom pastries and tell our children they were personally invented by st george, who was born in england You've reminded me of the 'freedom fries' debacle from 2003. When France refused to join the US (and UK) in bombing the crap out of millions of Iraqis for having the gall to have been born over oil fields, US renamed 'French fries' as 'Freedom fries'. quote:When reached for a statement by the Times, a French Embassy spokeswoman said, ''I wonder if it's worth a comment. Honestly. We are working these days on very, very serious issues of war and peace, life or death. We are not working on potatoes.'' She also noted that French fries are, in fact, Belgian. source: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/61086/did-americans-really-call-french-fries-freedom-fries

I was in spoons in Hammersmith at 11pm having completely forgot it was brexit day and I ended up sat next to a bunch of absolutely thrilled tory cunts who started cheering at 11pm, absolute specimens Also on the way back from the loo some steaming guy yelled 'gently caress the pope' at me which was quite nostalgic for living in Glasgow but I don't have a single clue why or even why that would he a thing you'd say in London? I couldn't tell if I was meant to be insulted or meant to be like 'hell yeah gently caress the pope' or what so ?????

I had at least two separate people blearily yell "happy new year" at me in the street, between one and two weeks after new year's day, in the middle of the day. Brits are a strange folk, sometimes they just yell things at you.
